A Shiny Place to Die - Levi Barber

The world ends the same night Mason Hale decides he's done living.

When alien creatures tear through the city, drawn to light and shine, Mason expects to die-just not like this. Instead, he saves a stranger in a silver dress and gets dragged into an apocalypse that doesn't care about heroes or second chances.

Rae knows how to survive. Mason barely knows how to keep going.

Together, they fight through burning streets, flooded tunnels, and impossible choices, hunted by monsters that tear people apart for glitter and chrome.

A Shiny Place to Die is a brutal, darkly funny post-apocalyptic thriller about trauma, survival, and what it costs to choose life when quitting feels easier.
