He's a living weapon. She's a teenage fugitive. Together they'll uncover an alien conspiracy—or die trying. Erika Holt keeps her entanglements to a minimum and her eyes on the horizon. She's counting the days until she graduates when she'll motor out of her dusty, dying border town to start a new life by the sea. But fate has other plans for Erika. When a quiet night in the desert turns deadly, Erika and her friends evade death with the help of a very odd stranger. Created to be a weapon, HALF Nine can kill using only his mind. Part alien, part human, he's never known kindness… until his escape from a top-secret facility brings him face to face with a courageous woman, unlike anyone he has ever known. As Erika and Nine work to secure their freedom, they uncover a conspiracy as vast as the galaxy. Will they survive the secrets of the deep beneath? A page-turning read filled with mystery and action, HALF: The Deep Beneath is a riveting novel about the power of friendship and the courage of the human heart. Accolades for H.A.L.F.: The Deep Beneath: Finalist in the 2015 Kindle Book Review AwardsSilver Medal 2015, Wishing Shelf Book AwardsChosen by Library Journal for its Curated eBook CollectionSilver Award 2015, Beach Book Festival AwardsLiterary Titan Gold Award
