{Blog Tour & Giveaway} In Between Seasons by Cassandra Giovanni (@CGiovanniAuthor)

8/8/2014

In 2021 the world as we know it changed. The government collapsed, and the worst characteristics of human nature were shown as the world fell into ruins. Years after The Fall, the Tribes that were established are still at war. They still fight to keep what they pillaged, and most of all, they fight to keep their lies a secret. In a world filled with deception, nothing is as it seems.
I was born into this world.
Hunter Marks was molded into this world; a General— a person cold and harsh. A person meant to kill me.
We were told to just believe.
We were taught to never question.
We’re supposed to be robots, and accept our roles in this altered society.
Too bad Hunter and I don’t follow the rules.
And we’re a hell of a lot stronger than they ever thought possible.
They’ve been searching for the world’s deadliest weapon.
It’s me.
And I’m not following the leader any more.

Exclusive Excerpt -

He hadn’t carried out the original orders his father had given him, and I still wanted to know why. In that moment the wanting overruled the fear associated with the question.

“Can I ask you something?” I took a deep breath as he nodded his head before continuing, “Why didn’t you kill me?”

Hunter ran his teeth over his lips and his nostrils flared as he exhaled through them. Finally, he answered, “You weren’t afraid.”

“What do you mean?” I asked as I turned to face him.

“It was like you expected me to steal you away. You weren’t afraid, and you didn’t look at me like I was a monster…for a moment I felt like I wasn’t.”

“You aren’t a monster,” I replied, leaning forward and placing my chin on his shoulder.

Our faces were breathes apart.

“You make me feel like I’m not.”

“You never were.”
