Jessica doesn't know how long it's
been, only that it seems like forever since she's allowed her feelings to show. Ever since they attacked her city.
Monsters which appear human but are void of any expression, and seem bent on destroying all signs of sentiment in others. Their lethal blades shred anyone who shows even the slightest emotion.
Monsters which appear human but are void of any expression, and seem bent on destroying all signs of sentiment in others. Their lethal blades shred anyone who shows even the slightest emotion.
After her only remaining friend is
killed, Jessica flees the city hoping to find a place where emotions aren't fatal. A place to grieve those she lost and
live out her meager existence. When she discovers the world of the emotionless creatures isn't what she believes, the
love it leads her to may also be the path to her own death.
EXCERPT
Jessica clamped her teeth together
and took a deep breath. “I can stay calm if he can.”
Zach shook his head. “I don't
think—”
“Let her speak with me.” A deep male
voice resonated through the crowded hallway.
Throwing on an emotionless mask,
Jessica slowly shifted her body toward the voice. A tall male, whom she could only assume was the monster they
called Blade, had managed to sneak down the stairs and stood mere inches from her. If she reached out, she would
be able to touch him. The thought disturbed her and she struggled to maintain her composure.
The only thing she wanted to do
was run screaming at this monster who had ruined her life. Every emotion that she'd been forced to hold in since the
invasion begged to be launched at him. Grief. Torture. Outrage. Terror. All of it, she wanted him to feel. She wanted
the rage to coat him inside and out, no matter what it would do to him.
