This novella follows Penny Polonsky just months after the conclusion of the first SOS thriller, THE SILENCE OF SIX.
After helping Max Stein expose a massive conspiracy behind a popular social networking site, Penny has moved on to life at a local college while also moonlighting as a white-hat hacker. She's also struggling to keep afloat her long-distance relationship with Max. Penny is up late working one night when she gets a cryptic online message. She can't tell whether it's a practical joke, an alternate reality game, or someone truly reaching out for help. She tries to avoid the draw of the puzzle, but Penny's curiosity gets the better of her, and she must crack open the chain of difficult clues and pop culture references to get to the bottom of who is reaching out to her and what they want. DOUBLETHINK connects the dots between the critically acclaimed THE SILENCE OF SIX and its gripping sequel, AGAINST ALL SILENCE, by letting us inside the head of one of its most intriguing characters.

I Became the Female Lead? No, thanks!
[Completed] Eleanor Blake was just an ordinary college student with an extraordinary obsession: dark romance novels, especially the twisted R18+ mafia tale Kingdom of Ash and Sin. But after a freak accident, she finds herself thrust into the blood-soaked pages of her favourite book, waking up not as a spectator... but as Elaine De Silva, the villainess doomed to die in 2 weeks! Armed with nothing but her fangirl knowledge and stubborn determination, Eleanor is set on one goal: survive. Rewrite the story. Live. Easy, right? Wrong. Because her new fiancé, the dangerously magnetic mafia don Luca Moretti, isn't playing by the book. He's darker, deadlier, and far more obsessed with her than the original plot ever hinted at. "Elaine, you're mine. I'll kill anyone who tries to take you from me." Wait... what? You were supposed to kill me, not fall in love! When did the story change? Now, caught in a world of betrayal, bullets, and brooding men in suits, Eleanor must outsmart the plot she thought she knew. Because if she wants to survive this story... She'll have to rewrite the ending herself. __________________________________ Book #1 of the I Became... Series.
