    Summary

    A thorough guide to beta reading for both authors and beta readers. Neither exhaustive nor definitive, but hopefully a good starting point that covers the basics and explains how to get the most out of an author-beta reader relationship.

    Summary

    You knew him long before he became a scarred monstrosity with the moniker of "Nobody"
    To you, he was Andre; your everything.
    And you were his as well.

    Until one day, you vanished...taking all of the light in his life with you. So he embraced the darkness, drowning his grief in blood and violence.

    Imagine his surprise when you end up in a holding cell at KorTac's base, 4 years after your disappearance. He's no longer Andre, instead the masked killing machine known as Nikto; a terrifying and unrecognizable stranger to you.

    Can he ever bring himself to face you again, now that he truly looks every part like the monster he has become?

    Summary

    When he removed the mask, you were terrified. Not because of the gnarly scars across what had once been a face, now a mess of uneven and discolored skin. Not even because of the glimpse of teeth visible through the torn flesh of his cheek.

    No, what truly terrified you was a realization that made your blood run colder.

    If this man could endure all of that pain and still survive, then your chances of escaping him had just been crushed to near zero.
