Synopsis: VIA GOODREADS/
For 21-year-old Denni, there is no doubt in her mind that Amos is the one. That is until Jack manages to catch her attention. When she discovers it isn’t just a crush causing this stranger to intrude her thoughts, a secret world of mind control is unleashed around her. It is revealed that both Amos and Jack belong to a special breed of humans called Mind Breakers, and over time Denni learns that the last two years of her life have been controlled by their influence. Soon she realizes that the people she thought she knew, and the life she has most recently grown accustomed to, might not have ever been real in the first place. Her thoughts, emotions, and physical actions are all at stake.
So who can she trust?
This, of course, is Denni’s past. Now she is forced to retell her story from the beginning in hopes that the worst of it will never happen again.

Mini Q&A with author
What was your inspiration for Avery?
Avery was a last minute addition to the story. I didn't plan for her to be involved. I knew she was going to be a major part of Jack's past, but I didn't think she would appear as a vital character. She more or less appeared on the page without me realizing it, and it just made sense.
If you where do describe Avery in three words what would those three words be ?
Pure. Shy. Loyal.
If Avery were to be a super hero what super hero would she be?
I don't know about her name, but she'd definitely have the power of invisibility. She tends to fade into the background of most situations.
What was your favorite scene to write in Without Me ?
The fight between Amos and Jack was really intense for me to write. The story comes to a certain head at that point, so by the time they cross paths I was fully invested. It required a lot of emotion. Anger and betrayal.
What songs Inspired Without Me?
Coffee Girl by Tragically Hip was a huge inspiration for Denni's character. As for the book, I listened to whatever fit the mood. I always post playlists on my website to share with readers, so I'll be doing that once the book is released!
Which book is your favorite in the trilogy ?
Book 2 was my favorite for a long time, but now that I'm starting work on book 3 that is slowly becoming my new favorite. Probably whatever I'm working on at the time.
What helps you get out of a writing block?
I step away from it completely. I never force myself to write. If it's not flowing, I wait until inspiration strikes. That way I know what comes out will be worth it. Reading and listening to music helps me get creative too. I observe other people's work in order to get excited about my own.
Amos or Jack?
I honestly love them both, for very different reasons. And I'm sure Denni does too.
-----------------------------------------------------
Pick Without Me up you won't regret it. You will get sucked in and addicted to the book with the first few pages. The plot is intriquing and fast past. You will never get bored you will just want more. The characters are well developed , creative, and hott. (They need the double T). I loved the world that Megan Dukes created and I can't wait to read more of her work.
