These are the stories packed with motion. Where hands strike, fists fly, swords clang and feet dive. These are the moments where every breath may be a character’s last. Where each is a battle…

…of and for life itself.

Yes, you can get paid for drug trials. What’s the worst that can happen? This!

So, I was recently looking at that FluCamp Quarantine Facility in London (Update: I actually registered with them) where participants could be compensated thousands of pounds to receive a diluted flu virus or placebo. This, with the aim of evaluating the efficacy of new vaccines and medications.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that I am not endorsing or deterring from participation in medical trials. Suitability varies from person to person and anyone considering one should review the information provided by the researchers and healthcare professionals involved.

But what prompted my investigation into compensated clinical trials, you ask? Despite coming from a healthcare background and knowing the importance of prevention and therapeutic advancements, it was this book that actually opened my eyes to their existence, early on in my life. And while I don’t expect my own clinical trial to result in demonic possession anytime soon (i.e. ever), the start of my journey is too entertaining not to mention.

When Kassidy Bell signs up for a Cruor Pharma drug trial, she leaves with a little more than the extra cash she expected. And I’m not talking simple rashes or stomach-roiling nausea. Now that the V20 is inside of her, she can practically feel her demons itching to get out.

Following a timely escape, Kassidy and her fellow participants find themselves in the same impossible situation and must discover a way to reverse the possession before they are consumed entirely.

Will Kassidy survive the consequences of her decision to consent? (More to the point, will I?) The answer to the first is written here.

Damsel in Distress? No, Thank You.

Sloane doesn’t need anyone getting in the way of finding her brother. Sloane doesn’t need anyone, period. But, her sister needs her, depends on her even and she’ll be damned before she lets her down. If only that stupid oaf of an alien prince would let her alone, she might actually be able to recover the position of the rift that brought her to this icy planet and return to her people, where her sister awaits.

When the earth becomes uninhabitable through manmade destruction – no surprise there – fleets are sent into space to explore a new land they might relocate to and save the human race. Only, a rift links this particular world to another, where the powerful man-eating draki would vanquish and exploit humans, in a second.

Will Sloane be one of them? Find out here.
