“This is the scariest thing I have ever had to go through. I hope I don’t break under the pressure. They do think I murdered my fiancé and there is no telling what they will do to me and Nessa. We are sitting ducks now, so much for running.”

Just then, agent Shanti opened the door and slid a cuffed Nessa into the last seat. He shut the door and locked the doors with his key fab, no doubt with the child locks safely in place to prevent escape.

Noah was suddenly very close to me and I shivered at his proximity. The fire that was spreading through me was overwhelming and caused a temporary distraction until Nessa spoke up.

“We need to stonewall them for as long as we can. I am sure we will make it out of this. We have come too far for this to be our demise. We are too valuable to these terrorists. They went through all the trouble to alter our genetic structure, they wouldn’t want to dismiss us so easily now.”

“I agree with Nessa. We are way too important. It was probably pure coincidence that they happened upon us at the moment we purged ourselves from that underground room,” Noah said with a little nudge and a soft smile.

I just simply nodded as I turned my attention back to the others. Backup had arrived and another non-descript car was being filled with Liam, Vienna, Shane and a very terrified Mia. I wondered for a second what would happen from here, and whether they would at least keep us together.

Agents Harris and Shanti returned their attention on us and then climbed into their respective seats in front. Harris started the engine up and we pulled forward, on our way to the unknown. Frightened and defeated, tears rolled down my cheeks without regard as the whole experience flashed through my mind in rapid succession. I melted into Noah and waited for whatever was coming next.

Dreamwalker (A Persephone’s League of Immortals Book)

Noel Kennedy lost her boyfriend, her job and he dignity all in one week. Then something happened and she began to dream of this stranger she had never met. She couldn’t resist the man of her dreams named Jared especially when she met him in real life. Entranced, she slowly unraveled a world she was meant to stay out of. Her life was not what she thought it was once a sexy Boone stepped into the mix and shook things up. Can she escape a life of servitude or immortality for a chance at love?

My eyes fluttered open and I saw something magical. I was lying on the ground next to Jared, my legs folded up, boots resting flat on the ground. I turned my head to the side, looked into his eyes and he smiled.

All around us, the tall green grass was mixed with red tulips tinged with silver and the field was whispering in the wind. A large white moon hung in the deep purple sky. I turned to peer into those smoky eyes that had me at hello.

“
What is this place? It’s truly amazing. I have never seen anything like it.”

He smiled and just answered with a simple reply, “our wonderland.”

Then I gasped as Jared entwined his hand with mine and a shooting star came into view. The star seemed so close it appeared three-dimensional and was emitting a shower of stardust in its wake. Shimmering embers and sparkling bits surround us as I stared in awe.

Dissolve Product Description

Everything seemed to be going right for Cora. She had a wonderful fiancé, a great best friend and a fulfilling life. One day, a tragic event causes that life to crumble around her. She turns to her best friend in her time of need. They embark on a search for answers, delving deeper into a web of magic and destruction. The closer they get to the truth, the more questions they have. To Cora, magic was the stuff of fairytales. Immersed into a very different kind of world, the storm was just beginning to take hold.

“
It felt like I was nowhere yet everywhere all at once. I was invisible and completely panicked. The millions of pieces I had dissolved to drift on the breeze and away from my nightmares. It was kind of like floating weightless in a pool, perfectly relaxing. The warm breeze from the window embraced and soothed me. I let the air current carry me as far as it could through the summer city.”

“
Defeated, I closed my eyes and took a few calming breaths trying to relax myself. I pictured the dandelion in the park today and took a deep breath as to blow the fluffy seeds in all directions. I pretended I was light and fluffy and started to feel a tingling in my body. I began to feel as light as the dandelion seeds and soon I felt like mist floating. This time, I tried to keep myself in the room, swirling in a humid block.”
