Books with author Mrs Rikkaine J Thompson

Appearances can be deceiving.A war has raged for so long the lines have blurred. Property of the Institute, genetically-altered Noah knows nothing of his inherent abilities. Barren walls, endless drills, and brutal missions are no way of life, and he longs for meaning outside the confines of the Institute.As seventeen-year-old Alyson Gale prepares for college to follow her dream of becoming an animator, her greatest concern is leaving her best friend, Fletcher, behind. On the cusp of something good, her life changes in the worst way possible.Trust is buried beneath layers of deceit and mimicry and Aly is exposed to the secrets of the Faceless, a truth that will change everything she knows. And, perhaps, destroy her too.

And, perhaps, destroy her too.

Truth can be twisted.A shifter is a natural liar. Sliding from one form to another and hiding in plain sight, deception is embedded in their being. As a genetically engineered shifter experiment, Noah’s lies are born from necessity and come as easily as his shift does. His name, his life, his ability, he hides it all because he must. If he doesn’t, it will destroy everything he holds dear. Eighteen-year-old Alyson Gale is a sensor, not a shifter. Truth-seeker, she can look into a shifter and see who they truly are. Now, she’s forced to lie to protect Noah, her family, her friends and, most of all, herself. None of them can know and the deception is starting to burn her. The shifter war has tumbled into their backyard and it’s not ready to let either of them go. The war’s greatest weapon is about to be unleashed and all Aly and Noah can hope is that they survive it.

Everything was unraveling.It only took a day for eighteen-year-old Alyson Gale to lose everything. Her home. Her family. Her future. A single moment of pain and release, a single moment of answers that spawned more questions. A father she believed dead, a mother who was not the woman who raised her, and an ability she never expected. An ability that might end the war between shifters if it doesn’t kill her first.All she has left of her old life is Noah, a genetically engineered shapeshifter, her best friend and boyfriend. Except she can’t be sure he didn’t shift his brain, implanting false memories and trigger words; a secret mission hidden beneath the need to be her friend. The seed of doubt is beginning to bloom and Aly is doing her best to ignore it. To do otherwise would mean she might have to face a truth she’s not ready for.Unaware their friends, Del and Grace, have also been dragged into the shifter war and are now in danger too, Aly and Noah attempt to untangle the truth from the lies.
