Inhaltsangabe:

The scorching new feminist apocalyptic novel and instant international bestseller from CJ Leede, the author of Maeve Fly. One of Esquire and Vulture's Best Horror Books of the year and a GoodReads Editors' Pick.

'Keep an eye on this rising feminist voice' - Tori Amos

In C.J Leede's latest genre-bending thriller, Sophie, a good Catholic girl who has been kept separate from the world, must traverse the apocalyptic hellscape of the midwest to try to find her lost brother, whilst learning the reality of her own sexuality in a suddenly lust-filled world.

A virus is spreading across America, transforming the infected and making them feral with lust. Nothing in Sophie's strict religious upbringing could have prepared her for the arrival of the scorching winds that sweep through the Midwest - not the righteous breath of God, but an evil gust that delivers an ungodly, fevered lust unto the virtuous and the wicked alike.

Though her own body has become a carnal battleground, she must somehow find her way through the ravaged world to rescue her brother, hoping the fever hasn't taken him; hoping he can still be saved. The end times are coming and Sophie soon discovers that there are far worse fates than dying a virgin . . .
