Not Alone: The Beginning

By Kolleen Bookey

They thought she wasn't a threat, they were wrong. RILEY COLLIN'S brother was helping her escape a marriage turned ugly, expecting her arrival the next day but nothing went right that full moon night, in a world gone mad, except for the stranger who saved her life. Two years later, after apocalyptic fallout labeled the Shift, the remaining population must fight to keep their stayer status. To reach her brother, Riley will discover the hero in herself, crossing hundreds of miles, entering lawless towns, fighting the infected and protecting the innocent. If traveling companions MEGAN and UTAH, hallucinations and post Shift demons aren't enough to derail her, storm and seduction and a kill-or-be-killed world of unseen consequences, for which no hero has time, threatens to stop her altogether. Their worlds collide when a fierce storm forces them to take shelter where tigers roam free and darkness elicits fear. Trust isn't Riley's best attribute until an unexpected twenty-four hours of bone-chilling terror begins, and strangers race to save Megan's life. Paramilitary JACK COLTON may see Riley as trouble, but it's his enemy, RINGO who's about to make her life a living hell. Now, Riley is at odds with Jack's ruthless predator, if not the devils' advocate, who's hunting for a queen to rule his hell. Ringo's cruelty matches his thirst to hunt humans as he begins a vicious game of hide and seek. Playing on the deepest of fears and stalking prey, Ringo takes Riley hostage. In the darkness of capture, danger seeks her, but when what matters to her the most is at stake, she fights back. Riley proves her will to survive is stronger than Ringo's promises to be unstoppable. Held against her will, there are no holds strong enough to keep her from her family, or Jack. Unable to wait for help, Riley awakens the hero she set out to be confronting the evil, which will stop at nothing to destroy their lives. NOT ALONE is a story of survival, fought through perilous times of change, and the constant conflict between good and evil.
