**Mature Content Warning** 17+ for language and sexual content.
(A re-imagining of The Fallen Star told as a New Adult Paranormal)
For twenty-one year-old Gemma, life has never been normal. She knows nothing about her past and has been haunted by the same monsters in her nightmares for the last three years. Unemotional and numb to life, she feels disconnected from everyone. Until the very first day she cries. After that, nothing in her life is the same.
Her emotions slowly surface and she starts experiencing love, happiness, and anger, feelings she never knew existed. But they leave her confused and she doesn’t know whether to embrace them or run away from them.
Her life only gets more complicated when she meets Alex. Sexy, arrogant, and secretive, Alex can get under Gemma’s skin like no one can. Yet she’s drawn to him by an invisible connection she has no control over. She’s also seen him before. In her nightmares.
Every part of Gemma’s mind is screaming at her to stay away from Alex, but every other part of her is begging to get close to him. But the closer she gets, the more she realizes Alex knows more about her than he originally let on.
As secrets about her past unravel, Gemma’s life becomes threatened. She needs to figure out what’s going on, before she winds up dead. But the only person she can turn to for answers is the one person she isn’t sure she can trust.

Book Clip:
“Alex, I want to know something about you. Something real. Like maybe why you’re so hot and cold all the time? It confuses me.”
He shakes his head. “I can’t tell you that yet.”
“Then
tell me something real.” I practically beg, because I need things to
feel real at the moment, instead of feeling like I’m drowning in a sea
of illusions.
He places his hand beside my leg, not touching me, but close. “The first time I saw you, I was scared.”
That isn’t what I expected. “You seemed pissed.”
“I
was pissed, too.” He scoots forward and our knees brush. “But pissed at
myself for feeling the way that I did—the way that I do.” His jaw
tightens and then his hand moves to my hip. “I was taught not to feel
that way.”
My muscles constrict beneath his touch and every ounce of the comfort Laylen put in me singes into ash. “To feel what way?”
His
lip part, then he shuts his eyes tightly. “Out of control. Lost.
Confused. Terrified. I’m not supposed to let those things get to me.”
His eyes open and I suck in a breath at the rawness they emit. “You want
to know something real about me, Gemma? I’m empty. Dead. Completely
numb inside, except for when I’m around you. I’m hot and cold because I
try to fight my feelings, because that’s what I’m supposed to do—that’s
the right thing to do.”
I think about what he said earlier: what’s right and what he wants. “Do you want to feel those things though?”
“I want to feel a lot of things.” His fingers burrow into my hip and I shudder as heat caresses my skin.
