When sixteen year old Hunter’s growing telepathic ability
gets her on the FBI’s radar, her partner puts a gun to her head. He wants to
silence the secrets of their agency that are locked in her mind. Fortunately
for her, it’s not her time to die.
Surviving means making an unlikely friend with an FBI agent
named Seeker. He’s the same agent that caused her partner to turn on her in the

to face judgment for the multitude of murders she’s had a part of.

having her thoughts pilfered for information against her will, Hunter learns
that if she wants to clear her name, she must put her life on the line to bring
down Talon, the agency she used to work for.
With each passing hour becoming more perilous, Hunter must
decide who to trust before her next mission becomes her last.
First 250 Words:
My heart skipped a beat when the com in my ear buzzed.
“Hunter, we’re running out of time. You know what happens if someone else gets
to Miles before we do. All this work would be for nothing.”
In the bounty hunter line of work, you never knew who
else was out there searching for the same prize, especially when one paid as
well as this did. I exhaled and tried to calm my nerves. This one wasn’t going
to get away.
“I’m trying. There are a lot of minds to sift through.” I
spoke quietly to my partner Bear, trying not to look like a crazy person. My
mind was lost in the sea of people, drifting through their inner monologues,
almost losing myself in their stories. Sweat dripped from my temples as I
pulled myself from almost passing out.
“Come
on, doll. You got this. Get the job done and we can go home and you can sleep
as much as you want.
