Okay, readers, update time! Chapter 18 is written, and it's a doozy, there's a lot of turmoil and a lot of fear processing. It's coming soon, it just needs the soundtrack- give me a few more days! I'm sorry for the lack of updates. The book came to a standstill because I hit some serious writer's block- but the story is back, and it's fiercer than ever. There's no stopping this storyline, and it's gonna crush you ALL in the biggest way. Reader discretion is advised! Thanks for the love and keep reading! I'd also love to hear some feedback- what's bothering you the most about Maya and all that she's facing- could you handle that kind of pain, and how do you think the book is gonna end, will she get a happy ending?
