Author bio:
Ingrid
Nickelsen is a 23-year-old French girl,
college student, and dreamer. She currently resides in Paris, where she spends
most of her time going to museums and the movies. Despite the romantic
atmosphere in Montmartre, or even the fancy cafés in the Champs Elysées, she
would easily trade it all for a nice walk in the woods with her schnauzer,
Golden. She is always craving adventures, and finds that books are the cheapest
way to travel to far-away lands. She is inwardly convinced that words have the
power to heal the worst blisters on our hearts, or at least can make us forget
about them for a little while. And sometimes, it is just enough to face another
crazy day.
A little bit about Killing Time:
Death is the ultimate
heartbreak. Evangeline never expected it to break hers after she died. No one
should have to choose between their husband and their first love, but it is
that choice that shatters her spirit.
She makes her choice, choosing not to transition, and finds that death can be vengeful too.
The world of the dead is far more complex that she ever knew, and facing the consequences of her actions might be the hardest obstacle yet, Fighting to survive in a world she doesn't understand, she seeks the help of the wanderers. Time is running out as winter grips the land and her companions help her search for Will. Perhaps, if she keeps her eyes open and believes in her love enough, she will make her way back to him before the Hunters find her first.
Unexpected reunions, impossible choices, and long-hidden secrets will fill her journey with joy and sadness. It is Hunting season and Evangeline will have to fight for those she loves while remembering that cheating death always has a price.
Told from a dual perspective, Killing Time brings the For Better or for Worse series to a heart-stopping continuation in every sense of the word

Excerpt from Killing Time:
I
sit down in the sand, clenching the locket tighter in my hands.
This
is for the best. All I ever wanted was for Eve to be safe.
When
she arrived in this land after her death with no memories of who she used to
be, I had to be the one who reminded her of us. Of our love story. It used to
be the most beautiful thing life ever gave me, until destiny changed her mind
and fired a bullet through my perfectly happy heart. Death gave me wings too
soon, but I've never allowed myself to fly. I'd never wanted to be set free…
Not like this. I broke about a thousand rules and waited for her in this
in-between. I've met Eve every single night and watched little pieces of her
being slowly put back together. I'll never let myself forget the way she looked
at me when she finally remembered me. The last piece of the puzzle.
I
didn't think she would agree to leave her section and complete her transition.
She's always been so stubborn. Well, maybe she has changed over the years. Her
husband Josh must have tamed her temper a bit.
I
smirk at the thought of him. If the poor guy knew about us… I wonder if she
told him. Probably not. Even if she did, I don't really care. He had more than
fifty years with her, but it should have been me.
It
should have been my life.
I
honestly think I deserved this last kiss. These last kisses.
I
smirk again. No, maybe he shouldn't know about them.
I
lie down to gaze up into the starless sky. I can't believe I lost her, again.
She's really gone this time.
Now
the moment I have dreaded for so long has finally arrived. I must ask myself
that inevitable question.
What
am I going to do now that she left for good?
