Leah Rhyne

(Author)

Description

In a contemporary take on the Frankenstein tale, Jolene Hall is dead - sort of. She can walk, think and talk, but her heart no longer beats. After being abducted and subjected to horrific experiments, Jo wakes up to find her body is a mosaic of jagged wounds and stapled flesh. Jo has a choice: go to the authorities, or team with her best friend Lucy and boyfriend Eli to save herself.

She wants to know who turned her into a monster, and live to see another sunrise. On a trip deep into the snowy White Mountains, to a hidden laboratory filled with bodies of the dead, Jo and Lucy find more 'creatures' just like her. Part body, part machine, run by batteries and electricity, these girls are killers, created by a shadowy Order with a penchant for chaos...and murder. To make matters worse, a photo on a wall of victims reveals Lucy is next in line to be "recruited" into this army When Jo's physical condition takes a turn for the worse, and the and the Order kidnaps those she loves most, saving her best friend and the man she loves might just mean sacrificing herself...or what's left of her.

Reviews

"Every word in Rhyne's HEARTLESS is threaded with menace; every scene thumps with anticipation. Even as you feel for Jo you recoil, not knowing what's coming next... An unputdownable story about life, loss, and the indomitable will to survive."
--S.K. Falls, author of World of Shell and Bone
