Author: Valia Lind
Genre: YA, Thriller
A weapon. A broken life. A humanity lost.
That is all Anastasia knows, that is all that she is. As an eleven-year-old, she witnessed her family's brutal murder and she's been on the run ever since. She's spent her life training and planning for the day when she can take her revenge.
Kallos Enterprises is a well respected corporation, set on improving the genetic structure of an individual. Or so they say. Anastasia knows, first hand, what kind of monsters lurk behind the pretty walls of those skyscrapers. Armed with combat skills and a beyond perfect memory, she heads to Chicago to uncover the answers to questions that plagued her for years.
After arriving in the city, she meets Logan, a boy from her past who changes all the rules. She doesn't remember him, but he remembers her. His position at Kallos Enterprises is useful, his presence is unnerving, and he makes her question everything she knows about herself to be true. If her perfect memory can't remember Logan, what else about her past is wrong?
Time is running out. Anastasia has nowhere to turn, but to trust the one person who's a memory she should have, but doesn't. With a madman threatening their every step, Anastasia and Logan must uncover the truths behind Kallos experiments and hope that the answers they find won't destroy the world forever.
Teaser #3
"Hello?" I answer, not bothering to look at
the caller ID. The water is warm against my skin as I use a paper towel to wash
my arms off.
"Hi, Tasia," I hear a voice I'm getting
attached to on the other end of the line, "It's Logan."
"How can I help you?" I revert to my typical
response, hoping he gets the point and stops calling. I don't actually want him
to stop calling, but that's not what’s important here.
"We have that date, remember?"
"I specifically remember telling you that I
couldn't make it."
"And I specifically remember ignoring that part of
our conversation. Meet me." I can almost see his dimple as his face
blossoms into a smile. I want to meet him.
No. Stop it, Tasia. Why do I have to keep having these
internal arguments when it comes to him?
"I can't."
"Can't or won't?"
"Both. Look, I appreciate you being nice to
me—"
"No you don't—"
"But—" I interrupt before he can continue,
"now is just not a good time for me."
"Anastasia, we have to meet." I don't know if
it's the pleading in his tone, the seriousness behind it, or the fact that he
calls me by my full name, but suddenly I feel myself softening.
