I see how people die. It only happens the first time I touch someone. A handshake. My arm brushing yours on the subway. All of it. So much noise, every day and all the time. Drives a girl crazy after a while. If there's no skin contact, my head belongs to me for a few more seconds each day. I've seen every scenario. Except for one. I've never played an active role in a death. That is, until now. Copyright © epicmishamigo 2019 July 25th 2019- October 8th 2019

Book 1 in The O'Connor Chronicles She ran. They hunted her. They don't lurk in the dark or hide in the shadows. No. They hide in plain sight. They could be anyone: your next-door neighbor, your father, your friend...the person you least expect. The Unseen. Ky Grayson was chasing a murderer. What he found, however, was a girl. Hurt. Starving. Terrified. Alone. Their lives collided-intertwining together at an effortless pace neither of them had anticipated. The more time he spent with her, the more he realized he was in over his head. No one wants to be found. No one wants to be seen. But they see everything.

No, behind my smiling face was another one, outside the window. It was his face.
