Below the Pulse is a dark romantic thriller and Part One in the Below the Pulse duet. Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to race toward your death? Well, take it from a dead girl, it’s exactly what you had imagined, only a thousand times worse. My life had become a carousel of guilt. A deathly road of despair, stolen one fateful night by careening headlights. I was sinking. Drowning. And if it wasn’t for me, they would still be alive. I am the reason they’re dead. So, why didn’t the frigid water welcome me at the grim gates, too? Harlen Graves made breathing underwater easier, though I knew time would be our cruelest enemy. He was a famous rockstar, the bass player of Chasing The Storm. I was Blaine Everson, Cherry. A nobody. I fell victim to phantom hope, the kind I knew would leave me breathless. We were only a fleeting moment, not a place to find a home. And as my broken, soulless body trembled against the crimson-stained concrete, I thought of him. Did he keep his unspoken promise? The one I watched twinkle in the depths of his glacial orbs. The very one keeping me alive. I had no choice except to sink my nails into the ghostly echoes of his voice when I lost everything else. Surviving death once had me staring into the face of fate. But surviving death twice might be the very force that kills me.
