Better When the Sun Goes Down - Paperback

by Hunter Hyde (Author), Sam Willow (Editor), Bugghetti (Cover Design by)

Ezra Gray is a recidivist...

... but an innocent one. He is not a convicted criminal who repeatedly offends, contrary to what the government would have their citizens believe. But that doesn't matter in the eyes of a prejudiced population because people like Ezra-people with special abilities-instill fear in the powerless.

Conin Bresshet is normal. He's co-captain of the football team, a hard-working student, and Ezra's only friend. When Ezra lands on the radar of a recidivist trafficking network, run by the infamous Angela Barclay, Ezra discovers how coveted his powers truly are and the lengths Barclay's mercenaries will go to obtain them. He's instructed to find a boy named Atlas who promises safe passage to an elusive haven for AWOL recidivists-to get there, Ezra must leave the world he knew behind before he's taken captive.

What holds him back is that Conin now knows what he is. But if Ezra goes, he will lose the only boy he's loved. If he stays, he will endanger them both. Conin cannot bear the thought of Ezra's uncertain future. He's torn between following Ezra wherever his path will lead him or staying behind and being without the one boy who makes everything bearable. Will Conin continue to live his normal privileged life, or will he give up his hopes and dreams to protect Ezra in a life on the run?

BETTER WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN is a New Adult dystopian thriller with an urban fantasy twist. It's a plea to hold onto our communities in such trying times, in a world dimmed by hate.
