A prisoner to a pack of monsters for nearly a month now, I've been biding my time for the perfect moment to escape. Because I only get one attempt to save my very soul or die trying. Then he is thrown into my prison cell - a captive like me with mesmerizing green eyes and a disarming smile - and all hell breaks loose. Perfect moment or not, I'm getting my ass out of here, and my silent ginger companion is coming with. Three apocalypses in, and I still adhere to what I've learned in the Army: leave no man behind. Yeah, 'man' might not be the right word to describe my new prison break buddy. But unless we work together to escape, I will soon not be human either. BELOW THE SURFACE is a standalone book but for maximum enjoyment it is recommended to first read my stories Amid the Clouds and Under the Woods, as there is an overarching storyline. This book is a bit dark compared to my previous ones, but my trademark humor is in there, too! TRIGGER WARNING: threat of rape, violence and gore, injury, thoughts of suicide
