And what if the Greys are only the beginning?
Erika Holt dodged death and departed Earth in an alien ship. It wasn't how she'd planned to spend her senior year. Is Erika on her way to paradise? Or to a hell worse than the underground lab she escaped?

Jack Wilson is still Commander Sturgis' prisoner, but a promise of freedom comes from an unlikely source. Will his liberation cost more than he's willing to pay?

And hungry...
Excerpt from H.A.L.F. -
Tex awoke with a blinding headache. He was glad that the lights were dim.
The door opened again and the larger being that he had seen before he passed out strode toward him. She stood easily a foot taller than the rest of the Conexus.
She moved around the table, examining him from every angle. “You will make the Conexus stronger,” she said.
Tex had no intention of doing anything for the Conexus until he knew that Erika, Ian and Dr. Randall would be safe. He did not need to say this out loud. His thoughts were no longer private, his mind no longer his own.
She moved gracefully and deliberately like a snake slithering across the sand in search of its prey. Her mouth was so close to his ear that her breath tickled his neck, causing it to prickle with goose bumps. “You will be one with the Conexus.”
Heat wafted off her body, carrying her scent to Tex’s nostrils. It was a heady odor that smelled of peat and musk and a faint sweetness like an overripe piece of fruit. Her lips grazed his ear as she spoke, and his pulse quickened. A strange warmth spread through his loins. The hunger in his stomach was forgotten, replaced with another kind of longing.
“You are part human, aren’t you? Capable of feeling in a way that the Conexus have been unable to experience since before the Age of Regina.”
Her long, thin finger ran up his arm, sending a chill down his spine. She moved closer, her thighs now against his shins, her face inches from his.
“I am the Regina,” she whispered in his ear. “And you shall soon know me as all Conexus know me. I am their leader.”
Her scent was everywhere, her touch maddening.
“I am their mother,” she said. Her lips hovered next to his ear.
Tex wanted to enfold her in his arms.
“Their god.”
He moved his lips to find hers, but before he could kiss her, she pulled away from him, taking her warmth and heady aroma with her. Tex’s mind reeled as if waking from a trance.
“Walk with me, 9. I will show you the world of the Conexus. I will show you my world.”
