They say the world used to turn. They say that night would follow day in an endless dance. They say that dawn rose, dusk fell, and we worshiped both sun and stars. That was a long time ago. The dance has died. The world has fallen still. We float through the heavens, one half always in light, one half always in shadow. Like the moth of our forests, one wing white and the other black, we are torn. My people are the fortunate. We live in daylight, blessed in the warmth of the sun. Yet across the line, the others lurk in eternal night, afraid... and alone in the dark. I was born in the light. I was sent into darkness. This is my story.

***BOOK ONE IN THE "OUR EVOLUTION" SERIES*** Life has offered on-the-run Christina Grey a series of bad events, and in another attempt to flee from the roots of her past, she moves into the small town of Eastwood, hoping to just pass by and not stir trouble. Hope's a bitch - and so are far-away dreams. Small towns carry big secrets, and with Christina's twisted luck, she stumbles upon a bunch of people with almost as much skeletons in their closets as hers. And if that's not complicated enough, sparks start flying between her and a certain green-eyed supposed mystery boy with a chip on his shoulder. Not to mention, Christina's not the only one with a story to tell. Follow "Run and Hide" and find out what happens when thrill, action and romance collide in a slow buildup, and watch as the characters' stories fold open as secrets unravel, one by one. Like a clock ticking. Or more like a time bomb. * Quotes between chapters are based off/inspired by/copied from Pinterest so they're not always mine to take credit for. So are all the songs/music featured in the book. But all the character aesthetics and mood-boards and covers are my own work unless listed differently, so give credit if you use. * -> Trigger warning (mental health (!!), etc...) -> strong language (!)
