Between Worlds

by Micky O'Brady

For sixteen-year-old Noa Keegan panic attacks are part of life, but this one is she wakes up in a parallel universe, Terra, where she is treated as a security risk. Her guard, a nineteen-year-old Sentinel named Avery McTighe, is easily the most serious and mesmerizing person Noa has ever met. When anti-government rebels kidnap her and Avery, the two of them realize Terra plans to wipe out Earth’s population for better access to its resources. Bound together by mutual attraction and a common goal, Noa and Avery must find a way to abort Terra’s murderous schemes, but when Avery gets injured, their chances are bleak. Hunted across universes by Terran forces and with the clock ticking down to the annihilation of the human race, Noa has one shot at saving the universe she grew up in—or the Sentinel she’s falling in love with.

About the author

Micky O’Brady is a pediatrician-turned-writer living in beautiful, dry Southern California with her husband and two critters (one son, one dog). Micky loves to write YA thrillers with a romantic twist, mainly because she wishes her life had been such an awesome mix of action and cute guys when she was a teen.

When she isn’t up at around 3 a.m. (with a cup of tea, Earl Grey, hot) drafting stories she can’t get out of her head, she can be found at a martial arts dojo, though maybe not at 3 a.m. She holds a 2nd degree black belt in Judo and a brown belt in Krav Maga, and is convinced every girl should know how to kick some butt.

Micky also is a firm believer in the healing powers of Nutella eaten straight from the glass and in the magic that can happen on a rainy day, as long as there are fuzzy socks and a cup of tea involved.
