A group of teenagers learn that loss and pain as well as courage and conviction have no minimum age requirement as they are forced to battle hoards of zombies or risk joining the ranks of the undead. As evil invades all that they took for granted, the teens learn about loyalty, courage and the power that can be found when fighting for what you value most. Pain Never Changes is the second book in the trilogy by teenage author Michael McClendon.

Felix is an average teenager whose favorite past time is reading and learning about zombies with his friends. His near obsession of the topic often prompts comments that he should spend less time learning about zombie lore and more of his time on practical things that could be applied to the real world. All of that changes when the dead begin to rise and the living start to die and the world around him starts to resemble one of his zombie novels or movies. Suddenly he finds himself the unlikely hero in a world where reality has become stranger than fiction and where his hobby of planning for a zombie apocalypse becomes vital to the survival of those around him. As he and his friends struggle to fight against death itself they realize that truth is often much stranger than fiction...and allot more deadly. ** This novel is a horror story which includes scenes of death and violence.
