Facing your demons is hard. It's even harder when one of them will not stop talking.
It's 2085 in a barren United States. Manufactured creatures and warring factions abound. A pharmaceutical company controls all aspects of life and seeks to return the country to its former glory. Disastrous consequences from a drug gone bad wreak havoc on the remaining population.
In Stella's case, she has the pleasure of being annoyed by a snarky hallucination who loves to chatter about her dark past. But the irksome specter is the least of Stella's worries.
She's being hunted by a ruthless gang. And they're closing in.
To top it off, in the chaos of the catastrophic societal collapse, Stella's best friend is captured by the company. Lethal experiments, genetic manipulation-or worse-await him, and Stella wastes no time in plotting a rescue mission.
As the mounting threats circle closer, Stella is ripped from her safe haven. With nowhere else to go in a dangerous and war-torn city, she has no choice but to surrender to the trust of a mysterious stranger. However handsome he may be, pretty things have a tendency to bite, and Stella doesn't intend to get close enough to let him.
But when Stella discovers she holds the key to the country's salvation, she must decide how far she's willing to go to take down the company and save her friend-even if it means teaming up with her worst enemies and dragging her darkest demons into the light.
And time is running out. The company's plans are close to fruition...
The first installment in a duology of science fiction thriller books, this gripping post-apocalyptic dystopian book is full of plot twists and complex characters with dark secrets who overcome their inner demons to band together and save humanity.
This is not a romance book, but there are two steamy, slow burn romance enemies-to-allies-to-lovers *subplots.* No sex on the page. The sequel will have more steam than the first book.
This book is intended for mature readers ages 18+. TWs include addiction, violence, blood and gore, death, and swearing and adult language.
