Because the clock is ticking, and one by one, people close to Achelois Crimson are being hunted. For her, surviving becomes part of a diabolical game.As she and Wolfe strive for success, each reveals just how far they'll go to get what they wants -- even if it means destroying the other person along the way. An edgy, addictive, and fiendishly clever tale of ambition, deceit, and power suited for fans of the dark psychological thrillers that destroy you mentally, Stalemate revels in its mind games, delivering twist after twist as it races toward a Shakespearian climax. With no choice but to stick to it, she continues shifting through a complex web of interlocking secrets and lies, some decades old and some rooted violently in the present day. As time slowly begins to run out, the answer to those questions might be what stands between life and death. *Delve inside for full summary*

" I think we need a break," I said in an unwavering voice, he nodded dropping his hands from my waist. I needed to get far away from this boy as soon as possible. "You don't like me" he stated. What the fudge was that supposed to mean? We barely knew each other. I looked at him surprised to see the sad look in his eyes. "I...." I licked my lips as I tried to think of what to say. He stared at my lips, his Adam's apple bulging, the grey orbs of his eyes becoming prominent. He held my chin with his thumb and index finger his hands felt warm on my face my chin tingling from his touch. He searched my eyes as if trying to know what I wanted. I was breathing so fast bracing myself for what was coming. He leaned closer as he placed his other hand on my thigh. I gripped the stool tightly, my tummy tingling from the blissful feeling I was experiencing for the first time. _________________________________________ Maria Collins is not really excited about leaving primary school so early for High school but her Mom had planned it all for her.
