ameliorate (v.) to make a bad situation, better. book TWO in the "ineffable" series. (based on the book series, the naturals by jennifer lynn barnes) IN WHICH vada hartley is still learning how to live with everything she feels- the memories that don't belong to her, the boys who might, trying to make sense of what's hers and what's not- the memories she feels, the grief she carries, the love she might be allowed to want. the team is called to vegas for a high-profile case wrapped in secrets and patterns. the case asking too much of her mind, and even more of her heart. michael is warm, constant, and kind in a way that feels safe. dean is distant but impossible not to notice-especially when he looks at her like he's trying not to. and vada doesn't know what it means to choose, only that someone might end up hurt. as the stakes rise and the clues start to come together, vada is left trying to make sense of everything-what she knows, what she wants, and who she is without someone else's memory pressing into her skin.

Michael Townsend x OC ~ You're A Cowboy Like Me ~ (Killer Instinct ) Daisy Miller isn't your normal teenager, but then again nobody becomes a Natural by being amazingly normal... ******

ineffable, (a.) too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words. IN WHICH vada hartley doesn't just remember-she feels. every wound, every whisper, every trace of the past buried in the things people leave behind. it's a gift. or a curse. depending on the day. sent to join the FBI's off-the-books naturals program, vada finds herself surrounded by other teens trained to see what others can't. but while the others analyze from a distance, vada sinks into the emotional weight of every case. and it's getting harder to come back up. michael townsend understands that kind of heaviness-the need to take on hurt before it has the chance to break anyone else. he recognizes something in vada that he doesn't have words for. he's not sure he wants to. dean redding sees it too. her softness. her strength. the way her pain mirrors his own in all the worst ways. the three of them are caught in something raw and unspoken, but there's no time to untangle it-not when the past is clawing its way back into the present. and vada can feel it coming. vada has an emotive memory: the instinctive ability to absorb, retain, and relive the emotional states of others tied to specific memories or environments. im simpler terms: vada doesn't just remember events-she remembers how it felt for everyone involved. she experiences emotional energy attached to people, places, and moments. sometimes it's a gift. sometimes it's too much. *lowercase intended* *BOOK 1*
