Though the Monsters

Welcome!

Disclaimer and Formal Statements

I do not own Bondi Rescue and do not claim anything as my own aside from Hadlee and the storyline.

This is a FANFICTION.

I do my best with facts and speech. I am not from Australia but do my best to look up slang terms and phrases that are common and popular.

I am aware that some of the epilepsy facts aren't entirely accurate and I am trying my best to make them as accurate as possible.

This is the second book in the Epi(lepti)c Series.

Synopsis

After leaving Australia two months ago, Hadlee has been thrown into a whirlwind that she doesn't know how to get out of. Her mental health has taken a turn for the worst. Her physical health is bordering dangerous, and she simply has not will left. The monsters in her own head seemed to have been gaining ground and she doesn't seem to have the strength to fight back. Jethro is little better. Though maintaining a steely façade, his friends and coworkers have noticed the depressing shift in his behavior and attitude. Harrison and the other lifeguards take it upon themselves to get both Jethro and Hadlee back to their usual smiling selves, and they intend to help begin to mend the tear in the young couple's relationship in the process. Will they be able to succeed? And if they do, will there still be monsters that Jethro and Hadlee will have to face? Or will it all prove to be too much to handle?

Author's Note

I really can't believe that this is happening. I never pictured the first book being as popular as it was and now to be writing a sequel is surreal. As an author the number one thing that you fear is people not liking your work and you all have helped quell that fear. Thank you for the ongoing love, support and, above all else, the patience in waiting for this sequel to happen. I know that it's been a long time coming and I hope that I live up to your expectations.

As far as updating schedules, I will stick to one chapter on Saturday and one chapter on Sunday to keep a consistency that I can maintain.

I do have a brief announcement about Epi(lepti)c Summer. I will be going through each chapter and editing it to make sure that it is where I want it to be, and grammar has never been my strong suit so I'm sure that there are tons of mistakes that need mending.

Back to the present, this book will most likely have more music tied to it since I had so much fun writing with it in the previous book. I made a Spotify playlist with a compilation of all of the music that I have used, will be using, and songs that I just fit the general mood of the story. I will also most likely be adding songs here and there if I come across one that I enjoy. I have put the link below.

Please remember to vote and comment, your comments are honestly a blessing to read and I still find myself looking back at them even now when I feel like maybe I'm not doing very well. And I'm always open to ideas so please feel free to either leave them in the comments (because yes, I do read all of them) or even dm me and strike up a conversation, it's always a joy to hear from you.

I think that's all I have for you in terms of announcements and updates. So without further udo, here we go.
