Meanwhile, police officer Marty was living a double life as well under the moniker, Chill, alongside the other super heroes in the Solaris Circle.
Now, they’re a couple, pursued by villain and hero alike. But they still have a common mission.

Reviews
Crayle goes above and beyond with her editing packages! She is very good at giving constructive criticism that can strengthen a story. She picks out areas where the story and characters can be expanded on and developed further, as well as unnecessary elements of the story and she helped me so much in getting over certain parts of my story that had me stuck. She’s also an expert when it comes to grammar and crafting writing that is concise and flows beautifully. She is also very good at giving the feedback in a way that is both direct and honest while also being sure to affirm and uplift and encourage the writers she works with. 10/10, would absolutely work with her again!
