In Between the Beyond (#1 in the Rotten Water Series)

March 23, 2017, a tragedy occurs. The world decides to give in to its own pity, and fall.

Martin Riley, a sixteen-year-old boy, wakes up to a day seemingly normal, only to later find out that that's not true. As he and his closest friends enjoy each other's company, C.R.I.C.K. Labs misinterprets the abilities their recent studies have obtained.

Rotts, combative figures whom once breathed the same air as any person, now walk a life in purpose to destroy. By bite or by scratch, they may birth their own destructive desires into someone else, quickly multiplying their beings.

All Martin and his friends must do is survive. But, the harder they try, the more likely they are to die; however, the less they try, the more death becomes apparent.

Thankfully, there's something to help them. After visiting the labs, Martin gains the ability to see moments in the future before they happen. When someone his heart has truly connected with dies, he is rewarded the chance to change those events. But every second chance has a rebounded consequence...
