❝if i go down in flames, then what's the point of even trying?❞ ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ 𝐏𝐔𝐋𝐒𝐄 Luke Hemmings was engineered to be a weapon. A killer. Now he's a fugitive with too much blood on his hands, a quiet house on the outskirts of D.C., and a girlfriend who sees something in him no one else ever has. For the first time since Virex burned to the ground, he almost feels safe. Until Eden disappears. Forced to revisit the program that made him-and the monsters who ran it-Luke must decide how far he's willing to go to get her back. But how much of his girl will be left when he does? 𝐃𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋 Eden Mavis believes in control. She leads the Eclipse Division with discipline, precision, and the conviction that justice must follow the law. Loving a vigilante with hemokinesis was never part of the plan. When she's taken by the same shadows that built Luke into Pulse, control is turned into a weapon against her. Survival depends on remembering who she was before the blood, and deciding what she's willing to become to reclaim herself. cover by: @lukenostalgic on twt

❝ inside every one of us a shadow side, i call it my better side.❞ ╰┈➤ ╰┈➤ ╰┈➤ When Pearl embarks on its most ambitious tour yet, lead singer June Evans is hanging on by a thread. She's sick of compliance- the meds, the therapy, the sobriety, the emotional chasm that comes with being okay. What she really craves is an excuse to fall apart. She doesn't expect that excuse to come in the form of the beautifully tragic lead singer of The Neurotics. Luke Hemmings has a secret, though. He's been sickeningly obsessed with June for years before they even met- before a joint tour between Pearl and The Neurotics was even a possibility. But when they find that their broken pieces align perfectly together, the clock to their mutual destruction begins to tick. Is it really worth it to love someone to death?
