Chroma Calanooka - Carlie Martece

Glamorous, melodramatic Leandra yearns to continue "modelling", but her limbs ache and lizards ate her breadcrumbs. Shy, autistic Cal wants gainful employment. These lonely, mismatched siblings live a suffocating existence in the isolated desert city of Summerton. When blue space captain Kalakai arrives, offering Chroman army recruitment, reality becomes increasingly intangible. Local news stations warn of an uncaptured murderer. Leandra applies lip gloss, models custard, and plans her birthday celebrations. Cal hyper-focuses on Calanooka, his online guide to the Chroma Sphere System. The strange pair cling to shreds of sanity while people around them disappear.

The third book in the Constructed Sanity series is a genre mash-up combining the terrifying honesty of Toxic Nursery with the complex yet captivating plot of The Vipdile Key.

Could intergalactic battle training save these troubled siblings? Will they solve Summerton's mysteries or be consumed by demonic forces? Where are they? When are they? And why does a vengeful witch haunt their cryptic dreams?

Rescue is not coming.
