Series Description:
When
you’re born without a trace, no one knows you’re a weapon.
Book Blurb:
It's not against any formal rule for us to sleep together.
It is, however, strictly forbidden to have feelings for each other.
I can't do one without the other at this point.
Which means I am doomed.
When you don’t know who you can trust, reality distorts. It twists and oozes,
disintegrating and reformulating to meet whatever needs its masters demand.
Just like me.
Just like Kina.
Except everything is different now that we know who we really are.
But there’s a second reality, you see.
This one can’t
be manipulated.
It just is. Solid and true, it takes our mission, our training, our orders,
turning them into nothing but secrets and lies.
And this new reality means my old reality is trying to kill everything I love.
Including her.

trilogy.

Stateless Series also includes:

Excerpt
I pull
her into my arms on impulse, her small sound of pain as her eyebrow brushes
against my shoulder making me let go.
“Sorry.”
“No.
It's okay. I
like being close to you.”
“You
do?”
“Yes.”
We
breathe into each other, mouths a few inches apart, her features blurring. An
edge lives inside me, vibrant and real,
relocating wherever it's needed. It
divides me, making me know the difference between baseline calm and danger.
I want
to live in baseline with her.
I want
to live with her. Not co-exist.
Live.
She
turns, somber and achingly present.
“We
can't keep doing this.”
“Doing
what?”
“Not
talking about this.”
Instead of
asking her what she means, I slide my hands to her waist, palms greedy
at her
curves. She's taut and fit, with more muscle than I can see. My hands find it,
memorize it.
Want it.
“Let's
talk, then.”
“We're
breaking every rule.” Her eyes flit to the jammer bar on my wrist again.
“Once
you’ve mastered the rules, you know when you have to break them.”
“
We were
never taught that.”

Reviews and Endorsements for
Meli Raine Books:
“The
first book in the False trilogy is a psychological thriller worthy of
Hitchcock, keeping you guessing until the very end.” — Apple Books Editors
“
…intrigue
and dark humor on display in this thriller…”
While
the immediate—and more compelling—tension in Raine’s (
A Shameless Little Bet, 2018, etc.)
heart-pumping series opener
comes from Lily’s constant proximity to her would-be killer, the action takes
place against a backdrop of secret government scandals. The “screwed-up
D.C.-insider scandal,” as it
is clumsily summarized early on, is pleasingly
twisty…
Fortunately,
Lily’s voice is captivating, wry, and tough enough to sell this thriller. The
novel ends with a cliffhanger that startles, if only because readers will have
become so attached to Lily.
— Kirkus
