Black Helicopters

A psychological thriller for young adults - chilling, heart-breaking and beautifully told.

Last night, Valley White celebrated her own funeral. This morning, she strapped on a vest full of explosives and set out to kill and be killed. But her plan has gone explosively wrong, and now Valley needs a driver to salvage her mission. That’s how Eric, age 16, and his little brother, Corbin, become pawns in Valley’s game. They are expendable and completely unprepared to disarm a girl who has been raised to be a weapon and knows exactly why she wants to die.
