In Nexus City, people with powers are called kinetics, but Camila Morales keeps her head down and pretends she isn't one of them. Barely scraping by with her day job, she starts working for Psychotics, a gang notorious for dealing drugs in and out of the city.
Hunter Dawson is a young medical officer working for Division, the largest kinetics crime unit in the country. Despite his intimidating looks and rough attitude, he finds himself reluctant to arrest the girl who saves his life with a power so rare, people would kill for it.
In an attempt to make up for her crimes, Mila shares valuable intel on Psychotics, landing her in hot water and putting a target on her back. With Psychotics wanting revenge, she finds that the only person she can trust is Hunter, who shuts her out every chance he gets with his cold demeanor. And yet, Mila finds herself getting pulled into him regardless, seeing a warmth in his eyes and compassion in his rare smiles.
The one person who can help her could just end up breaking her, but Mila doesn't have anyone else to turn to, especially since Hunter is the only person who knows about her deepest secret.
Book 1.
"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder.
Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me.
The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is.
I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things...
Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours.
Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..."
BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss...
In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy?
TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense.
Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.
