Laura Newman
Another Day in Paradise
Synopsis
Another Day in Paradise opens the ADIP duology with an authentically bleak vision of a Texas overrun by the undead. Laura Newman builds a zombie apocalypse that leans into action-heavy set pieces and a cast written with enough individuality that survival feels personal rather than generic.
The novel doesn't shy away from the violence of its premise, but it grounds the horror in the choices its characters make under pressure — who to trust, who to leave behind, and what's left of themselves after the world stops working the way it used to. It's followed by the concluding volume, Anyone Dies in Paradise.
