She snorted in disgust. “You tell lies like that, and you wonder why you end up in my realm,” she said, shaking her head. It was only as I studied her that I realised she was becoming less of a melting mess and more of a solid form. What did that mean? Was I seeing her because I was close to crossing over?

She was to the left of my wheelchair, body in varying stages of decay, and that horrible rotting flesh smell filled my nostrils. Yet she didn't come closer. She didn't lean in like she had before. I looked into her melting eyes, took in the yellow shade of her teeth as her plump lips stayed in a stasis between there and slipping off her face.
“I can't stop it,” I said, forcing the words out. “I spoke to someone about being bound, they said it would be too dangerous.”

Of course, I wasn't sure if Tyra was actually hurting because of a medical condition. Maybe she got into a fight and wanted to hide that from her parents. Maybe she'd had a fall or something. I wasn't a doctor, I couldn't diagnose her. Yes, I could feel that the pain wasn't fake, but I didn't know the actual cause.
On top of that, there was a part of me that thought: fuck it. She'd threatened me. She'd gone out of her way to attack me. She'd knowingly hurt me. This wasn't like with Meera, who had been a bit of a bitch when we first met. This was active bullying.

Cassie leaned towards me, her face was set, she looked kind of pissed off. “Tara, I don’t really care what it is you and Kaolin keep whispering about, honestly, I couldn’t give a monkeys. But, if you will insist on whispering about it whilst I’m within hearing distance, then I’m going to want to know. So, either tell me or shut up.”

People would just dismiss me, I was nineteen and not from Evendown, add my obvious disability, and the people here wouldn't stand behind me, maybe back home, or in Cardown, but here?

“How she's gonna do that from S-W?” Dane scoffed.
I looked up to meet his eyes, and I could pinpoint the moment he made the connection.
“She's tracking you,” he said, anger resurfacing. “That's why you just told us all of that, isn't it?” He stopped up, hand moving to his hair. “You don't have any idea of the risk you've put us through! You're a f*cking child compared to the council."

TWO WEEKS UNTIL RELEASE DAY! 🎉 Jackson wants to make sure that Jonah still has contact with Zya, who knows where the road ahead will lead them. Pre-order here: www.books2read.com/TRANSLUCENT #AuthorsLife #Authors 💙📚🌎
A blue DNA background with the title TRANSLUCENT at the top and coming May 13th 2025 just below the title The except reads:

“Did you check the broadcast?” Jackson asked softly, after I'd done the peeing thing. He seemed to want to hang back for a moment, and I wasn't going to argue with him. Hadn't I wanted this moment anyway?
“I did in the night while you and Lumi were off collecting the rabbits,” I said, mimicking his soft tone. “What's the issue? Why were you both in the forest?”
“Did you get another message?” he asked, waving away my question.
“The coded one? No. I reached out to Zya again. I've not heard back, and I've not checked this morning, should I?” I asked.

For Zya, Kai feels like the most obvious suspect, but as the medic, Zya doesn't want to risk being wrong... Pre-order here: www.books2read.com/TRANSLUCENT #AuthorsLife #Authors 💙📚🌎
A blue DNA background with the title TRANSLUCENT at the top and coming May 13th 2025 just below the title The except reads:

“We'll find a way, Avery,” Kai said, holding up a hand. “I do have a question though, Zya.”
“Go for it, it's not like we're getting any sleep,” I said, trying to stifle a yawn.
“Why did you choose mostly underage people to help on your 'mission'?” She even made air quotes about the word.
I swallowed down the uncomfortable lump in my throat. So far, Kai had been the only one to really question my leadership abilities. I couldn't blame her, we were young.

Jonah is pretty sure he's about to be killed and eaten. Pre-order here: www.books2read.com/TRANSLUCENT #AuthorsLife #Authors 💙📚🌎
A blue DNA background with the title TRANSLUCENT at the top and coming May 13th 2025 just below the title The except reads:

The animal snorted, sniffing at my neck. My eyes screwed shut. It was only then that I realised they could probably smell the food. If I let them eat it, would they fuck off back to wherever? I could wake Delia, find Lumi and Jackson, and we could relocate. It didn't have to be far, just away from animal territory. Of course, if I did that, we'd have no supplies. F*ck, I was a coward. I couldn't even face down something threatening my life!

Zya always knew her story was weak, but she didn't expect it to come apart so soon. Pre-order here: www.books2read.com/TRANSLUCENT #AuthorsLife #Authors 💙📚🌎
A blue DNA background with the title TRANSLUCENT at the top and coming May 13th 2025 just below the title The except reads:

“Why did they send us out with so little?” she asked softly, though there was anger in her eyes. “If they'd given me warning, I'd have packed some more essentials. We have no formula for Mae, no solution to flush her tube, we have no fluids if Zara crashes, hell if anyone crashes. I can't work with nothing, Zya. Why have they put us in this position? Are they trying to kill us all?”
“I don't know why there were so few supplies given. I assume it's because there aren't an abundance within the segment."

Jonah isn't all that happy with the way Lumi handled things, but at the same time, they did save all of their lives. Pre-order here: www.books2read.com/TRANSLUCENT #AuthorsLife #Authors 💙📚🌎
blue DNA background with the title TRANSLUCENT at the top and coming May 13th 2025 just below the title The except reads:

“What do you want to ask, Jonah? I can see you edging around something,” she said, her lips a thin line.
I sighed. “Lumi gave Jackson a knife, they obviously both planned for the possibility of violence. I get there was no choice, but I don't like that we didn't know that was the plan,” I said, looking down at my bare leg, which had started to throb a little.
“Lumi probably saved our lives,” Delia said sharply.

Lena might not be happy, but she's got Zya's back no matter what. Pre-order here: www.books2read.com/TRANSLUCENT #AuthorsLife #Authors 💙📚🌎
A blue DNA background with the title TRANSLUCENT at the top and coming May 13th 2025 just below the title The except reads:

“You're gonna have to say something eventually,” Lena whispered, leaning over my shoulder so hopefully no one else in the group would hear.
“Where do you suggest I start?” I hissed back.
“Hey, I'll support you, Zya, but you got us into this mess. And they deserve to know what's being asked of them,” she said.
Without giving me a chance to respond, she gestured for me to turn my chair, and held up a hand. The group stopped and looked at me.
