Publication Date: August 1, 2017
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Tyler Bennett trusts no one. Just
another foster kid bounced from home to home, he’s learned that
lesson the hard way. Cue world’s tiniest violin. But when strange
things start happening—waking up with bloody knuckles and no memory
of the night before or the burner phone he can’t let out of his
sight— Tyler starts to wonder if he can even trust himself.
Even stranger, the girl he’s falling
for has a burner phone just like his. Finding out what’s really
happening only leads to more questions…questions that could get
them both killed. It’s not like someone’s kidnapping teens lost
in the system and brainwashing them to be assassins or anything,
right? And what happens to rogue assets who defy control?
In a race against the clock, they’ll
have to uncover the truth behind Project Pandora and take it
down—before they’re reactivated. Good thing the program spent
millions training them to kick ass...

EXCERPT:
“Shannon!”
someone called as she emerged into the sunlight.
She
flinched at the sound of her name, only to spot Tyler standing just
outside the glass-and-metal canopy that sheltered the metro entrance.
With a sigh of relief, she stepped off the escalator and hurried over
to him.
“I
can’t tell you how glad I am to see you,” she said once she
reached his side.
“It’s
mutual.” He grinned, exposing those adorable dimples of his.
Compared to Hades, he was all warmth, both in his bronzed complexion
and the kindness of his expression. Even his cologne’s citrusy
aroma had a far more welcoming effect on her, soothing rather than
unsettling her.
“Hey,
can you tell me if some guy’s following me?” she asked, lowering
her voice. “He’s around our age. Black hair, blue eyes. Dressed
all in black.”
Tyler’s
smile faded, and he looked past her. “You mean the guy who looks
like he’s never heard of a comb? The one in the leather jacket?”
“Yeah.”
“He’s
smiling at us.” Tyler’s hands tightened into fists, and his
clenched jaw cut hard lines in his face. “Did he do anything to
you?”
“No,
he was just talking weird on the subway,” Shannon muttered. “About
flowers and dating and stuff.”
His
face paled with anger. “Was he sexually harassing you?”
“No.
I don’t know.” She shook her head. “It’s probably nothing.”
“He’s
coming over here,” Tyler said, and his dark, gold-flecked eyes
narrowed dangerously. He placed a hand on her wrist. “Let me deal
with this.”
She
turned to find Hades approaching them. In spite of the boy’s calm
gait, every movement of his seemed intentional, almost trained. No
unnecessary energy was exerted, and his right arm lingered at his
side, steady.
To
reduce the time it takes to reach his gun,
she thought, surprising herself. Of all the theories she could come
up with, why would she assume that?
“Hello
again,” Hades said warmly, looking from Tyler to her. “Why are
you two together? This can’t be a coincidence. Is this a test or
something? Are you doing a job?”
Every
time his incandescent blue eyes fell on her, her gut squirmed in
discomfort. She was almost certain now that she had talked to him
before, but she couldn’t remember where.
“I
heard you were harassing my friend here,” Tyler growled, stepping
forward. “Are you stalking her?”
Hades
chuckled. “You know, you’re the second person this week who’s
accused me of being a stalker.”
“Shocking,”
he said drily.
“I
guess this means you’re Tyler Bennett now.”
A
hint of confusion showed through Tyler’s scowl. “How do you know
my name?”
Hades
grinned, visibly amused. “Whoever said that’s your name, Apollo?”
