Excerpt
Set in the backdrop of a world ravaged by hordes of human beings reanimated into flesh hungry, mindless drones. A condition induced by parasitic creatures that came during a time known as the Fall.
Blood & Acid follows the journey of 18 year old Mitra, severely paralyzed from birth, wakes up to find that she too has become host to a parasitic creature, but it has affected her in an entirely different way.
As she experiences life through new eyes, retaining control of her mind -she is not like them, but with her new developing abilities, she is not completely human either.
As she makes her journey across the crumbling remnants of the old world, she struggles with her own inner demons, questioning her humanity and what she has become. When she comes across a group of survivors, will she be their greatest ally or their biggest threat?
Professional Reviews
Great Story
The story is well written and original, I really liked it. Its a different take on the alien invasion/zombie story. A paralyzed girl is being given some sort of experimental treatment when parasitic creatures fall out of the sky causing people to go crazy and eat human flesh. For some reason she is unaffected by the creature that gets inside her own body. Finding herself able to move for the first time in her life the girl goes out into the apocalyptic world and tries to find out whats happened and what makes her different from the mindless monsters destroying humanity.
This is part one and hope there is more to the story soon, I want to know what happens next!
This is book 2 of my new fantasy trilogy, The Twins of Moon. As Quimbre warns Eefa, 'No world is more riddled with secrets than the eldritch waters we now blithely sail.' Here in the Sea of Stars the twins discover their extraordinary true destiny.
