Beschrijving
Even with the ability to stop time, you can still run out of it.
Kathryn Henderson can teleport and stop time.
She keeps her abilities under control most days. She has to. If the government learns she’s a deviant—a person born with unusual abilities—she’ll be institutionalized or incarcerated. So, she keeps everyone at a distance, filling the loneliness with a glass of something from the bar. Or men. Or women. Anything that will replace the emptiness, but nothing ever does.
When Susan, her best and only friend, introduces her to a stranger named Charge, her world gets flipped upside down when she discovers that Susan and Charge have gifts of their own, and there’s an entire underground network of undetected deviants living freely in society. Kathryn’s brought into the fold with open arms, and she finally finds something she’s never had—a family.
But now, members of the family are disappearing. Some come back weeks later with strange scars, sutured wounds, and missing limbs, with no memory of what happened. Some don’t come back at all.
When Charge becomes the next victim, Kathryn is willing to teleport to the edge of the world to find him, but confronting the mastermind behind the kidnappings puts her life in jeopardy. And when the rescue attempt goes horribly wrong, she wonders if dying might have been a better idea.
