The Kill Switch

What happens when the man breaks?

BLURB

My memories are glitching. My instincts are turning against me. The machine inside my skull keeps feeding me ghosts, and every broken piece of me keeps circling back to one woman I cannot forget, cannot forgive, and cannot let go. I call it protection. My body calls it function. The broken thing inside me calls it love. But love is only mercy when sane men feel it. In me, it becomes surveillance. Hunger. Punishment. A hand closing around the dark until there is nowhere left for her to run. Because every system has a threshold, every hunter has a breaking point, and mine is already counting down. A bonus glimpse into Jase’s fractured mind, set six months after The Chain Loop and just before The Tether Protocol. Haunted by memory, obsession, and the need to reclaim what he believes is his, he moves through the City like a ghost on the hunt. Dark, intimate, and unsettling, this chapter offers a fragment of the man beneath the machine – and possible spoilers for The Hostile Override.

Words of the sinners

★★★★★

"...Horrifying, addictive, filthy, tragic, and completely deranged. Jase is a walking red flag stitched together with metal, trauma, and obsession - and I could not put it down. I can't wait until the entire series out because I bet his character growth is going to be insane!" —Marina (Goodreads)
