Stitch
Her heart races, her muscles coil, and every
impulse in Alessa’s body screams at her to run… but yet she’s powerless to
move.
Still struggling to find her footing after
the sudden death of her parents, the last thing college freshman Alessa has the
strength to deal with is the inexplicable visceral pull drawing her to a
handsome ghostly presence. In between grappling with exams and sorority soirees
– and disturbing recurring dreams of being captive in a futuristic prison hell
– Alessa is determined to unravel the mystery of the apparition who leaves her
breathless. But the terrifying secret she uncovers will find her groping
desperately through her nightmares for answers.
Because what Alessa hasn’t figured out yet is
that she’s not really a student, the object of her obsession is no ghost, and
her sneaking suspicions that something sinister is lurking behind the walls of
her university’s idyllic campus are only just scratching the surface…
The opening installment in a twist-laden trilogy,
Stitch spans the genres of paranormal romance and dystopian sci-fi to explore
the challenges of a society in transition, where morality, vision, and
pragmatism collide leaving the average citizen to suffer the results.
Shudder
It's only been three days,
and already everything is different.
Paragon is behind her, but
somehow Alessa's life may actually have gotten worse. In a wrenching twist of
fate, she traded the safety and companionship of her sister for that of her
true love, losing a vital partner she'd counted on for the ordeal ahead. Her
comfortable university life is but a distant memory, as she faces the prospect
of surviving a bleak winter on the meager remains of a ravaged world. And if
she'd thought she'd tasted fear upon seeing a ghost, she was wrong; now she's
discovering new depths of terror while being hunted by a deadly virus and a
terrifying pack of superhuman creatures thirsting for blood.
And then there are the
visions.
The memory-altering
"stitch" unlocked something in Alessa's mind, and now she can't shake
the constant flood of alien feelings ransacking her emotions. Haunting memories
of an old flame are driving a deep and painful rift into her once-secure
relationship. And a series of staggering revelations about the treacherous
Engineers - and the bone-chilling deceit shrouding her world's sorry history -
will soon leave Alessa reeling...
The second installment in
the electrifying Stitch Trilogy, Shudder follows Samantha Durante's shocking
and innovative debut with a heart-pounding, paranormal-dusted dystopian adventure
sure to keep the pages turning.
Stuck
3, 2, 1... BOOM.
Things are finally looking up for the Resistance. Sure, Alessa is still processing the revelation that the best friend she'd presumed dead is miraculously alive, though far from well... And her boyfriend is being manipulated under threat of blackmail. But her quest for justice against those behind the systematic extermination of the world population is so close to victory she can taste it.
And then in a matter of seconds, everything Alessa believes in is shaken to the core. Months of preparation are obliterated. The people she cares for most are lost.
But Alessa is still standing. And Paragon must pay.
The odds are grim, but unexpected allies surface in the most unlikely of places: A new pair of citizens still under the colony's rule who notice something amiss in the latest drama. An old adversary who realizes the error of her ways. And a veritable army of inhuman power and terrible strength, with an insatiable thirst for vengeance. The trustworthiness of each of these factions is yet to be proven, but without many other options, Alessa may have to take what she can get. Especially since the Engineers, never to be outdone, also have a few more tricks up their sleeves...
The long-awaited final installment in the riveting Stitch Trilogy, Stuck will have readers gripping their seats as Alessa and a handful of intrepid survivors usher their harrowing journey to a close, risking everything as they endeavor - once and for all - to set things right.
