High Maintenance - The Series - by Angel Von-Krum

This is a story of power, of love, of hate.
Of vengeance and morality, of the need for acceptance...

 ..but mostly it is a story of redemption

Thrust into a life and body she did not want or understand and forced over the edge by an uncaring society that fears and hates those who are different, Jessica Mason turns vigilante in one woman war to protect her friends and her city from an evil that lays without and within.

Jessica; an acrid, sarcastic, twisted woman forever skirting a path of self-destruction is seeking to redeem herself from a past of violent misdeed. Highly skilled, highly intelligent yet prone to irrational behavior and reckless violence she believes it is her duty to help those who are weak and in need by whatever means necessary. Jessica's past and present soon catch up however as the mysteries surrounding her slowly begin to unravel and rend apart the life she has worked so hard to rebuild

This series is created for an adult audience and therefore contains and explores themes of an adult nature such as straight and gay sex and sexuality, narcotic abuse, graphic violence, assassination, blackmail, torture, transsexualism, suicide and murder. There is also a fair amount adult language used throughout the series. Because of this we have rated the story MA - Mature Audience only - 18 years and above. If you are under this age bracket then you read it without our consent and at your own volition.
