Items related to The Undercurrent
Eighteen-year-old Julianne De Marchi is different. As in: she has an electrical undercurrent that stings and surges beneath her skin. She can use it―to spark a fire, maybe even end a life―but she doesn’t understand what it is. And she can barely control it, especially when she’s anxious. Then she meets Ryan Walsh. She doesn’t know he’s a soldier working for a secret unit that has her under surveillance. He doesn’t know what it is that’s making the sparks fly between them. And neither of them knows who caused the explosion that has them trapped in an elevator together. Great writing, heart-burning characters, probing questions about where technology is taking us―and a plot that zips and zings like an electrical current itself.

About the Author:
A shadowy figure. An intense roar. The sensation of falling—fast.
That's all Callum Harris remembers from his tumble over the waterfall. But when he wakes up in a hospital bed and finds his best friend trying to kill him, Callum knows something is seriously wrong. Unfortunately for him, the mysteries are just getting started.
Why are his parents acting like he's some big sports star all of a sudden? And why are all the buildings in town more run-down than Callum remembers? Worst of all . . . what happened to Callum's brother? Either Callum has gone seriously crazy or something happened when he went over the edge of the falls. Something impossible. Callum needs answers, and now. Because in this twisted new version of the life Callum knew, his former best friend isn't the only one who wants to see him dead.
Paula Weston is the author of the widely acclaimed ‘Rephaim’ series (Tundra US). She worked as a print journalist for many years before becoming a government media and communication specialist. She lives in Brisbane with her husband.

As in- she has an electrical undercurrent beneath her skin that stings and surges like a live wire. She can use it - to spark a fire, maybe even end a life - but she doesn't understand what it is. And she can barely control it, especially when she's anxious.Ryan Walsh was on track for a stellar football career when his knee blew out. Now he's a soldier - part of an experimental privatised military unit that has identified Jules De Marchi as a threat. Is it because of the weird undercurrent she's tried so hard to hide? Or because of her mother Angie's history as an activist against bio-engineering and big business?It's no coincidence that Ryan and Jules are in the same place at the same time - he's under orders to follow her, after all.
