From Darkness Comes - Book 2 in the Ash and Ember Series
She survived the end. But it's only the beginning. Ever thought escaping Earth meant survival. Instead, it meant sacrifice. She lost her parents, her sister, and the two boys she loves-left behind to an uncertain fate. Now, on a distant planet she never asked to call home, Ever reunites with the brother she thought was dead. But this new world is not the refuge it promised to be. Her sister's haunting last words echo in her mind: "Your friends may be your foes, and your foes may be your only chance for survival." With her memories fractured by reimaging, Ever struggles to tell truth from illusion, ally from enemy-even within herself. As a genetically modified human, she carries a dangerous secret: she may be the only woman capable of creating life. To Environettix, the ruthless corporation pulling the strings, that makes her their most valuable-and most vulnerable-target. And she isn't the only one. The other Mods brought from Earth are caught in the same web of lies, their very existence exploited for an agenda darker than they ever imagined. But the planet itself holds secrets of its own. And Ever is beginning to realize a chilling truth: they don't belong here. And when something doesn't belong, it's only a matter of time before it's erased. *This is Book 2 in The Dissonance Series

To Die For
Wyle Dolon has no intention of dying. Surviving the apocalypse isn't easy, but he's pretty much got the situation under control, simply because he's not about to risk his life to save anyone else in his platoon. He certainly has no intention of doing something stupid, like fall in love. Riley Emerson is pretty much resigned to a quiet life, probably helping her much more popular, and prettier older sister. She knows her strengths, and that's talking her way through trades for rations, and trying to help sister navigate courtship. It's not as though she is going to lose her heart to one of the reckless soldier's much less one with a reputation for straying beyond society's fences. Fast paced, heartwarming, bloody good post-apocolyptic fun. Trigger/Content Warning: blood and gore through out, some profanity, some disturbing sequences involving violence. Rape is discussed. Bloody fights on page. Some peril. Dark humor. Nothing beyond typical teen adventures, be aware of your mental state, and seek support as needed.Complete
