There are always two sides to a story. Melanie Wilhelm’s begins after she moves from Australia and starts her senior year at Cashmere High. On her first day, she bumps into a mysterious guy, and they form an instant connection. They become friends and he shares his deepest secret with her. As they grow closer, their relationship amplifies and becomes binding. Strange things occur, but instead of worrying, Melanie’s feelings intensify.

The excitement of New Year’s Eve approaches, and so does Jason’s most devastating revelation of all. She learns his ultimate truth and is now spun into his chaotic web. The danger rises and hard choices must be made. By being with Jason, Melanie may have to sacrifice more than her heart. It may cost her life.

Melanie’s Evanescent Journey ties into books one and two of The Sonar Trilogy. From spiraling twists to devastating plots, her journey will make you question fate and true love.
Is fate something you can control? Some believe it’s in the hands of what you behold.

Excerpt for Melanie’s Evanescent Journey by B Truly:

(Chapter 7) Complicated

The next day I managed to avoid him all morning. I sent all three of his calls to voice mail. He texted me during second period.

Please don’t be mad at me. I’m going through a tough time right now.

Now I felt bad. I didn’t know what was going on, but it seemed like it involved Paige, even though his distance started a few weeks before she arrived. If he really was having family issues and emotional distress, I should be there for him. We could talk about it, if that’s what he wanted. Or I would give him space, if it was what he needed. I texted him back.

I’m not mad, but something is wrong. I am here if you need me.

Thanks for supporting me.

Surprisingly, he was waiting for me after class and walked me to third period. After third, I saw Paige. Her hair was in a messy ponytail, and she had on a T-shirt and jeans. I thought I had been blessed with a backside, but she had more in that department than me. I saw why I’d overheard some guys saying her butt was like J Lo’s. Several were making goo-goo eyes at her as she tore down the hallway like a speeding bullet. I wonder who pissed her off.

Jason was already sitting down when I got to fifth. He was stressed again.

“Hey,” I said, sitting down.

“Hi,” he whispered.

I decided it was best not to say anything. If he wanted to talk, he could initiate the conversation. A few minutes later, Harmony and Paige walked in. Jason glanced at them and Paige completely ignored him as she walked by and took her seat. She seemed more than pissed. It looked like she was about to commit a homicide at any second. Her mouth was in a hard line, and her face was tight. It was really intimidating. Jason squirmed in his seat. I couldn’t help but comfort him. I rubbed his shoulder, and the next thing I knew some guy stormed into the classroom. I had never seen him before. He came over to our table.

“You stole my wallet!” he yelled, pointing at me. Everyone in class, including Ms. Jones was watching.

“You have me mistaken for someone else. I don’t have your wallet.”

“Yes, it was you. You have it.”

“No, I don’t!” Was Ms. Jones going to sit there and let this guy yell at me, making false accusations, and disturbing her class? The guy then grabbed me, slung me across the desk, and started choking me. I glanced at Jason frantically for help, but he just sat there. How could he not help while the guy strangled me? I couldn’t breathe, but I continued to struggle against him. I managed to scream, and then the guy vanished into thin air.

I was sitting back in my seat. Everyone jumped at my plea for help and looked at me in alarm. What the hell! Was I in the Twilight Zone? I couldn’t have imagined that; it seemed so real. I was breathing heavily, and my heart was pounding. Maybe I had fallen asleep.

“Melanie, are you all right?” Mrs. Jones asked.

“Yes, um…yes. I think so, Mrs. Jones. I don’t know what happened. I must have fallen asleep.”

“Am I boring you with my lecture?”

“No, of course not, Mrs. Jones. Please continue.”

She continued class, and Jason rubbed my shoulder.

“Are you okay?” he whispered.

“I’m fine,” I lied, trying to get my bearings. I couldn’t concentrate for the rest of class, so I doodled in my notebook. The bell finally rang for class to end. Paige left quickly.

“Are you sure you’re all right?” Jason asked, again.

“Yes, I’m okay now. I’ll talk with you later.” I sped out of class before he could question me further.

I was still shaken from my day mare. It didn’t feel as if I had fallen asleep, but there wasn’t another explanation. And I didn’t want to talk to Jason about it. His mixed emotions were not going to help me feel any better.

“Melanie’s Evanescent Journey is a novella a part of The Sonar Trilogy. Each book is told from a different point of view and this book was of course told from Melanie’s. I have never read any book from this author and I was very pleased by her writing. She made me engrossed in this book and had my emotions running wild. You know it’s a great read when your emotions are so invested that you can’t help but think about what you read for a few days after. I commend B. Truly for getting her readers so involved, and for that this book gets 5 fangs! I recommend this to the paranormal, romance, and adult genre readers who love plot twists and going on an emotional ride.”-Leslie Williams, Goodreads Reviewer

” There are quite a surprising number of twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting, each one adding to the suspense of the plot. There’s a whole lot of romance in this book, mixed in with some paranormal and science fiction. I excited to see where B Truly goes with Sonar The Cyclone.”-Carrie January, Amazon Reviewer
