The Darkness All Around Us: A post apocalyptic sci fi (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781961529014)

It was seven minutes into her commute when the screaming started.

It's 2085 in a barren United States. Manufactured creatures and warring factions abound. A pharmaceutical company controls all aspects of life and seeks to return the country to its former glory.

In the chaos of the catastrophic societal collapse, Stella's best friend is captured by the company. Lethal experiments, genetic manipulation-or worse-await him, and she wastes no time in plotting a rescue mission.

But she's being hunted. And she's running out of time.

As the mounting threats circle closer, Stella is ripped from her safe haven. With nowhere else to go in a war-torn city, she has no choice but to surrender to the trust of a mysterious stranger who might as well wear a "danger" sign on his forehead. However handsome he may be, pretty things have a tendency to bite, and she doesn't intend to get close enough to let him.

But when Stella discovers she holds the key to the country's salvation, she must decide how far she's willing to go to take down the company and save her friend-even if it means teaming up with her worst enemies and dragging her darkest demons into the light.

And time is running out. The company's plans are close to fruition...

The first installment in a duology of science fiction thriller books, this gripping post-apocalyptic dystopian book is full of plot twists and complex characters with dark secrets who overcome their inner demons to band together and save humanity.
This is not a romance book, but there are two steamy, slow burn romance enemies-to-allies-to-lovers *subplots.* No sex on the page. The sequel will have more steam than the first book.

This book is intended for mature readers ages 18+. TWs include addiction, violence, blood and gore, death, and swearing and adult language.
