Shapeless

Jolene Hall is deadsort of. She said her final goodbyes and even had a funeral and a memorial service. But Jolene Hall is also stubborn. The girl refuses to die. Especially since the scientist who created her also managed to upload her to the internet, where her memories and consciousness can zip-zip-zip across the world. Her first task upon waking up in the cloud is to reunite her friends, whove scattered to opposite sides of the worlds. Lucys hunkered down with her mom, the ambassador to a tiny country in the Middle East. Shes not sure which is worse dealing with over-protective security guards, or a mom who doesnt understand shes battling PTSD. Elis found solace by working with a couple of computer hackers, chasing down conspiracy theories in an effort to take down the Order that destroyed the girl hes sure was the love of his life (even though he struggled with commitment problems when she was still alive). Too bad their being together only seems to snowball the problems they face. Jos contact with her pals is only as good as their internet connections, and the Orders army of femme fatale robots is growing in strength and smell (the funk, OMG!). When the Orders creepy scientist offers a way to keep Jo permanently in touch by implanting her as a computer chip in Lucys brain they figure, why not? What else could go wrong? Plenty, of course. Blending elements from The Matrix with Austin Powers in a darkly comedic sci-fi adventure, SHAPELESS is the second installment in the Jolene Hall HEARTLESS series by Leah Rhyne.
