Summary:

The only thing twenty-two-year-old Candace Madoc and sixteen-year-old Allie Cross have in common is the worldwide mass murder of over a hundred people. Candace, the cause. Allie, a victim. Fictional character Violet, their worst nightmare.

Candace’s invention brings fictional characters into the real world—a seemingly harmless aspiration until the invention is stolen, hordes of fictional monsters begin wrecking havoc, and corpses start piling up throughout New York. Now all Candace wants is to destroy the invention, but she has no idea how to find the thief. It shouldn’t be too difficult, however, because the thief is looking for her, too. The thief needs something from Candace. Something with the potential to make a catastrophic situation even worse.

Meanwhile, Allie Cross’s already dysfunctional life gets an unexpected twist in the form of slick—and fictional character—Tack Slater. Despite their budding romance, neither Allie nor Tack has any idea he’s from a different world. When someone abducts Allie’s best friend and the invention, Allie and Candace’s paths collide, and they must work together to stop the thief from implementing her plans.

&quot;One word. All you&#039;ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn&#039;t wonder. I&#039;m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won&#039;t deny any of what you said. But there&#039;s one thing more to be said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things - trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that&#039;s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We&#039;re just babies making up a game, if you&#039;re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That&#039;s why I&#039;m going to stand by the play world. I&#039;m on Aslan&#039;s side even if there isn&#039;t any Aslan to lead it. I&#039;m going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn&#039;t any Narnia.&quot; <br /> <br /> in The Silver Chair, by C. S. Lewis

This is absolutely, amazing! I read your other book, "The R Word,' in one sitting; and I read this in one sitting too. You're an amazing and talented writer and person. I agree that you should get this published, because this is just phenomenal. Haha, to em. It sounded there maybe more coming, but that's just me. This was just fantastic; it kept on the edge. You have such a talent and greatness and light in you; and you are an fantastic writer and person. Thank you so much, my friend! For sharing this. :)

i'm going to read this all in one sitting, it's amazing. I like this better than some of the "bestseller" books that I've read. The charectors have a lot of realism and depth, the story so far is amazing. I'm not joking, go to a publisher with this.

This was a great read! I only read the first two chapters, but they had me hooked. The first chapter was fluent and seamless, with the mystery that hooks the reader right away, and the excitement of rivalries already starting to brew, it was enticing to read. Your use of vocabulary was admirable, and the balance of action, dialogue, and thought was perfectly displayed. The first chapter was intruiging; an inventor, her mysterious invention - and the ghostly name at the end and his sudden appearance was wonderful and enticing. The second chapter was very dramatic, but in a way that was interesting as well as connecting to the character. You set up who these people were, where their loyalties lie, and how they react to unusual situations in a fluent, interesting, and consise manner. If this gets published, I would honestly go and buy it. Keep writing!
