And as Marissa starts to act strangely, Jeff must come to terms that there may be more to her illness that meets the eye. Lily has started showing signs of her gift progressing, which may not be a desirable thing. The little bunker family must now decide whether it’s worth the risk to try to save her or if it would bring doom to them all. In the third installment of the Collide series, we start off with Sherry, taken prisoner in the enforcement facility. Can Caleb save her or will they be forced to live without each other after just finding one another? Now, not only has her dad come out of his depression to be a father again, and a pain as well, but Caleb’s enemies know he’s imprinted and are after Maggie to stop them both from gaining their abilities and take her from him. She herself is experiencing supernatural changes unlike anything she’s ever felt before and she needs the touch of his skin to survive.

She learns that not only is she his soul mate, and can feel his heartbeat in her chest, but there is a whole other world of people with gifts and abilities that she never knew existed.

They imprint with each other and she sees their future life together flash before her eyes. But things change when they touch, sparks ignite. She saves his life and instantly knows there’s something about him that’s intriguing but she is supposed to be on her way to a date with his cousin. Lately she thinks life is all about hanging on by a thread and is gripping tight with everything she has.

She was smart and on track but then her mom left, her dad is depressed, she’s graduating, barely, and her boyfriend of almost three years dumped her for a college football schalorship. Maggie is a seventeen year old girl who’s had a bad year.
