Chimera Skies Series

Monsters aren't the only ones after me.   When my parents are kidnapped on our simple family vacation, my perfectly ordinary life turns upside down. A stranger rescues me and my siblings and takes us deep underground to Bunker 3. It's there we learn about chimeras, monsters that are secretly living among us. Our information comes at a price, though, and we now must remain at Bunker 3.   I know I need to find my parents, but Bunker 3 starts to feel like home. I find friends and even a little romance. If these strange nightmares would leave me alone, I know Bunker 3 is a place I could be happy in. Little by little, though, I uncover the truth: monsters aren't the only things lurking in the dark, and Bunker 3 has its fair share of darkness.     From the back of the book:   Sam is an ordinary high school girl on summer vacation with her family when an unusual traffic jam in New York turns into a nightmare with her parents abducted by uniformed officers. With the help of a stranger, Sam and her siblings escape and end up in an underground bunker where their lives are turned upside down. Sam learns her parents have been kidnapped by a secret society of monsters known as Chimeras.   Now, Sam must find her parents and learn how to fight these monsters before it's too late. With the help of her siblings and some new friends, Sam is determined not to break. Can she rise to the challenge or will a hidden enemy in the bunker be her undoing?

It was her life or my freedom.   I drove away from my siblings with a plan to return and help them find our parents. When I held Pearl in my arms as I carried her toward Bunker 3, I knew that I couldn't leave her to die. She needed a hospital, fast.   At the hospital, the staff kept asking questions that I couldn't answer. In desperation, I contacted the leader of Bunker 3 and knew that I sealed my fate. One way or the other, I was going back to Bunker 3. I was right; as soon as Pearl was discharged, we were whisked underground.   I thought it was bad being stuck in Bunker 3. That the worst I'd have to face was boredom. When Norman found me, I learned exactly how wrong I was. He was always around, always there. Eventually, he made me an offer that I couldn't resist. My choices had consequences that I couldn't stop. I looked in the mirror and didn't even recognize myself. One thing's for sure, I knew without a doubt not even Pearl could save me now.   Chimera Skies: Ben is a novella between Chimera Skies and Secret Skies. It's an action/adventure with scifi elements.
