    About this ebook

    3 seconds left to live. 

    Once the countdown starts, it cannot be stopped. 

    2 pawns thrown into a brutal underground reality game. 

    Kira Jordan survived her family's murder and months on plague-devastated city streets with hard-won savvy and a low-level psi ability. She figures she can handle anything. Until she wakes up in a barren room, chained next to the notorious Rogan Ellis. 

    1 reason Kira will never, ever trust Rogan. Even though both their lives depend on it. 

    Their every move is controlled and televised for a vicious exclusive audience. And as Kira's psi skill unexpectedly grows and Rogan's secrets prove ever more deadly, Kira's only chance of survival is to risk trusting him as much as her instincts. Even if that means running head-on into the one trap she can't escape.

      Great job author, I really like your writing style. I suggest you join Novel Star’s writing competition on April.
    • 4/5
      Kim Valenti is a hotshot codebreaker, when something she cracks turns out to be dismissed by her superiors she goes to investigate. She ends up kidnapping Lex Tanner (a bomb disposal expert), who she knows more from online than reality to help her disarm the bomb. When this turns out to be reality rather than imagination he joins forces with her to track the culprits down.Reads almost like two linked novelettes rather than one full book it's a fun read.
