  I smiled at Rooke.

  “Nothing’s wrong. Absolutely nothing.”

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  Holly Jennings is a self-proclaimed nerd and lover of all things geeky and weird. She was the firstborn to a sports enthusiast, and it was soon discovered that the only games she’d ever learn to master involved consoles and controllers. Her childhood was spent crushing virtual foes, racing on simulated tracks, and rescuing digital princesses. As a young adult, she fell in love with English class, speculative novels, and comic books, which inspired her to create stories of her own. Eventually, her passions converged and she started writing about the future of video games. She lives in Canada.
