    Summary

    She didn't think of mom's twisted face when the knife ripped her throat. She thought of the blur in navy blue careening through the burning chapel to hatchet her pursuers in the head.

    She didn't think of her nails splitting on the floor as the Girl dragged her to certain doom. She thought of the muzzle flash, the ringing in her ears, the steely eyes, and the revolver—heavier than a small child—slipping through the bars as he armed her with the most dangerous thing he owned.

    She didn't even think of Emily, and the monster she'd been twisted into. She thought of his voice, his apology, his sympathy for every loss, every heartache that only existed because people like Zeno and Victor walked this cursed earth.

    Or,

    Grace Ashcroft survived the ARK, released Elpis, and foiled a bioterrorist plot. Now she just has to figure out how to sleep, how to walk through a parking garage without sprinting, and how to raise a newly sighted nine-year-old—all while the man who sat with her in the dark keeps showing up in every crack her trauma left behind.

    Summary

    Jack didn’t go in much for praying anymore. No point, not when nobody upstairs seemed to give a shit either way. Praying was for altar boys and little kids and people who wanted their football team to win the Superbowl; for parents in his ER who refused medical care for their dying children in favor of speaking in tongues and yelling up the ladder to something that didn’t answer. Not for him. He believed in only a few things, and none of those were anything big enough to pray to.

    Well, almost none. There’d been one thing. A person, really. Bigger than a person, though. More like a grand, orchestral concept, a hope half-divine, fifty-two percent of the reason he kept showing up to work for four years straight.

    Summary

    Nami always prided herself on being an independent and smart young woman.

    She knew how to survive on her own and could read people like an open book, especially when it came to the latest member of the Straw Hats: the lady-loving cook… or so she believed.

    After her prying side got the best of her and she saw something she wasn't supposed to involving the young chef, she would experience firsthand what curiosity could do to the girl known as the Cat Burglar.

    Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as she thought. After all, it was as they said: Curiosity killed the cat… but satisfaction brought it back.

    Summary

    "I haven't changed or showered yet. I'm pretty sure everyone I've run into here thinks I'm homeless. On the plus side, everyone wanted me out of the store as fast as possible, so I took advantage of that and got in the express lane with more than 15 items.”

    "You're a real bad boy, Carlos."

    "The baddest."

    Jill and Carlos after the escape from Raccoon City.
