Take a sneak peek into Calia Read’s new book UNRAVEL, scheduled for release on Monday, February 17th. Are you ready to unravel the truth?
Six months ago, I was happy. I was simply Naomi Carradine.
One month ago, I was admitted into a psych ward.
Yesterday, Lachlan visited me. Kissed me. And told me that Iβm starting to lose my mind.
Hours later, Max haunted my thoughts, reminding me Iβm not crazy and that he needs my help.
A few minutes ago, I drifted further from reality, trying to unravel the past.
And now…everyone thinks Iβm insane. But, I know he’s real, and I know he needs me.
Do you believe me?
Her office has been quiet the entire time Iβve been here. But a static noise reaches my ears. Itβs loud and makes me shriek. It sounds like a radio not quite in tune. And then I hear a voice behind me.
βNaomi.β The hairs on my arm rise. βNo one will believe you.β The voice becomes louder, powerful, darker.
Paranoia makes me turn in my seat. Nothing is there, at least in the physical sense. But I feel something. The presence is so ominous it feels like itβs only a matter of seconds until the bowels of hell reach up and swallow me whole.
I remember the girl I saw in the hallway. Her eyes flash through my mind. βHow the hell am I still here?β
I donβt want to get to that point. I know Iβm close. Darkness is ready to pull me under.
βNaomi? Are you okay?β
I look up at Dr. Rutledge, but I hear Lachlanβs voice.
βThe Naomi I know would have never just given up so quickly. She would have fought to stay in the present.β
And then Maxβs.
βIf you love me then donβt give up.β
Their words mesh together. Their voices become one. And it becomes a small piece of hope for me.
I give her a blunt nod. My body is shaking.
βIβll tell you.β
She sits there calmly, waiting for me to tell my story. But before I say a word, I hold her gaze. Pay attention, I say with my eyes. Listen closely. Hang onto every word. But most of all, please believe me.
Calia Read lives in Germany with her husband and their four kids.
She’s currently working on the third book in the Sloan Brothers Series, Ruin You Completely.
