Published by: Swoon Reads
Publication date: March 10th 2020
Genres: Dystopian, Fantasy, Young Adult
In this electrifying YA dystopian sequel to Beware the Night, Veda is captured and leveraged against her best friend, who fights for the opposing force.
Civil war has come to the island of Bellona. Veda Adeline believes in the Night. She’s joined the underground revolutionaries, led by Dorian Winters, and they’re determined to overthrow the ruling Imperi and find justice for her people.
Nico Denali, Veda’s childhood friend and maybe-something-more, is one of those ruling Imperi, and he’s just been named heir to the most powerful man above ground.
As the war intensifies, Veda and Nico are leveraged against each other: Veda is above as a hostage of the Imperi and Nico is below, taken by the Night. There’s no way Dorian is letting such a valuable hostage go.
The island will burn unless Veda and Nico can come together to rip everything apart. But Nico and Dorian will never trust each other, and Veda’s heart might be the biggest casualty.
Praise for Defy the Sun
“Jessika Fleck’s duology is a lyrical adventure with a twisting vein of romance throughout. I was both enchanted and haunted till the very end!” —Erin Beaty, author of the Traitor’s Trilogy
Beware the Night
“Jessika Fleck delights with a new fantasy novel set in a world where the Sun reigns supreme and the Night is your enemy—literally. Brims with secrets, betrayal, and a genuinely believable love triangle!” —Pintip Dunn, New York Times bestselling author of the Forget Tomorrow series
1. What inspired you to start writing?
I actually always viewed writing, other than poetry, as academic work because that had been my experience in school—writing papers and reports. However, some years ago, as a new mom with two young kids and very much starved for a creative outlet, writing sort of found me and I was instantly hooked.
2. How long have you been writing?
About thirteen years.
3. Have you always wanted to be a writer?
Not at all. As a child, I legit wanted to either be Cindi Lauper or one of the The Goonies. I went through several study changes in college (from art to business to health), but ended up with a degree in social studies. Like I mentioned, writing just sort of found me and it’s been pure magic ever since.
4. What advice would you give a new writer, someone just starting out?
I think one of the best things you can do is find a community of other writers who are at a similar place in their experience, goals, and desires. I’m not sure where I’d be without the support and help of my critique partners and beta readers. Also, try not to take rejection too personally because, even as a published author, it’s part of this profession and it’s also a very subjective business. Lastly, KEEP WRITING. You’ll only grow in your craft.
5. How do you handle writer’s block?
Honestly, deadlines help. A lot. 😉 But when I find myself stuck I listen to music, take a walk or a hike, cuddle with my dog (Opal—you’ll find lots of pics of her on my Insta feed), do something else creative like make novel aesthetics or create playlists, or brainstorm in notebooks. This is another area where that invaluable critique partner is key: mine has gotten me out of some really difficult writing/character/plot blocks.
6. What, in your opinion, are the most important elements of good writing?
Voice is definitely number one. Each character has a unique voice all their own; one that not only draws you into their world but at the same time tells the reader so much with very little backstory. Next would be pacing—it’s a tough aspect to balance but so important. And finally, setting. I believe the setting should be a character in and of itself.
7. What comes first, the plot or characters?
Definitely the characters. Characters present themselves to me from the get go of a story—it’s usually how I first come up with my book ideas. I’ll get a vision or sort of a glimpse of a first line or scene and then everything unravels and evolves from there.

I do not do males.
ReplyDeleteI service one woman until her budget has been extinguished unless she comes back for more with more money.
I charge $100.00 per pop with 100% money back guaranteed if not fully satisfied by the time your time allowance has been reached or your pops are all out of popping!
There is a such thing as a million dollar fuck!
You get what you pay for!
Each pop is 1 cent...
$1.00 gets you 100 pops in one
$100.00 gets you 10,000 pops in one bang or can be broken down into 7-8 or more bangs depending on how much time we get at host’s locations.
$1M gets you 100M POPED IN ALL THE POPS YOU CAN HANDLE IN 3-4 MONTHS DEPENDING ON YOUR FREE TIME.
If you book a MILLION DOLLAR FUCK, food, lodging, hygiene and medicine must also be covered in order for the $1M to go directly to charity free and clear. 100% of all proceeds go to my 13 favorite charities. No more than 5 years may be purchased at a time any longer. All fucks can and will be uncumfucked if there arises any problems and if a problem arises you will lose all your money and all you fucks will be undone. If you lose control you will be married off to the next guy you date and you will have to give him children and cleave to him and serve him for what little he may avail for that sorry pussy. I am a man. My stats are 6’3” with 9” & 2.5” thick. The first inning is the quickest with each subsequent round lasting exponentially longer until our orgasms are matched this usually takes three times. No condoms. You get $1M if you have a baby that the DNA tests to be of my origin however this has never happened. I’m a 45 year old Venezuelan male with a shaved military haircut, tal dark and handsome? Yes tall dark and handsome with twinkling eyes. Cute? YES CUTE? My only exercise is sex, moving furniture, walking and running. I can do push ups for 25 days crunches for 1000 days, sit ups for 40 days and squats for 35 days. I do not drink any alcohol. I only drink water and soda to flavor my cum. I eat a 2000 daily calorie diet. Last week I worked a 160 hour shift successfully fucking and cum at the end and then waking up and fucking one more round the next day after 12 hours of rest. My max repeated cum times is 23 times over two and a half days time. My average timing for those that follow directions to a T get 5X cum every hour on the hour for the whole hour non stop with the both of us orgasming at the same time when I cum or you just keep creaming and squirting the whole time unless you stop me. Eventually you will stop me and you will be done for good and satisfied happy and nearly dead of a heart attack because you smoked some shit and got the biggest bang ever. You will have so much that you will want me to hurry up and cum. And you will quiver and tremble shaking with your nerves on heightened senses. I wont touch you. You need time... my tongue licking your pussy at this moment could send you into total shock and you will explode. My name is Serg~
Serg Is #1
ReplyDeleteI have been his #1 client since 8/8/2015. From then on I have given him all my money to do this for me in so many ways I have become broke and rebuilt my empire to lose it all in a matter of months. I have to do everything I can to come up with money every way I can to pay for his cock. He works it sweating and keeping it going even after he cums. He can keep going until I am done unless I break any rules which is where the real fun begins with dominatrix sadomasochism and no safe word and no holding back...
Just give it 7 tries as soon as you can and all you will owe is $700.00 that will go to charity!
Think of the children!
If you cannot orgasm 7 times in one sitting then you may pay for only the orgasms that you did have before you couldn’t orgasm any more.
It just Builds!
Each time much better than the last!
Like he learns you in a inner sense that he can take it all off so fast and take too long working a hard rainbow into the deepest all bottoming out and you will bleed. This Serg~ is not a fuck boy toy! His record is 52 women under his belt. All listed and accounted for. Many shapes many sizes! From 19 to 68 they melted wet like me at my 41 years of age. No stone is left uncovered when you need all the bases to be covered and the rush is worth it! Every cent counts! Give Serg~ all your money now and you will be in the aroma!
