Stray will be released 1st September, 2015 in all good bookstores in Australia and New Zealand, as well as online retailers.

It’s hard to remember hating anything as much as I hate Affinity; a bone-deep loathing for the faceless unknown and the concrete walls of my own DNA. 

Evie is a Shield: designed to kill in order to protect, and the Affinity Project have finally come for her. But Evie isn’t ready for the sinister organisation to take control of her life, her body, her mind. She isn’t ready to follow their rules about who may live and who must die – not when it condemns the innocent. She has one option: risk losing everything and everyone – including Jamie – and run.

Now I don't know about you, but I love it! Not only is it super edgy with that reddish-brown background which matches the 'chaos in blood' slogan, but it matches really nicely with the first book too:

Evie doesn’t have a choice. 

 One day she’s an ordinary seventeen year old, grieving for her mother. The next, she’s a Shield, the result of a decades-old experiment gone wrong, bound by DNA to defend her best friend from an unknown killer. The threat could come at home, at school, anywhere. All Evie knows is that it will be a fight to the death. And then there’s Jamie. irresistible. off-limits
