Sam Holland answered a question about The Twenty:
The Twenty by Sam  Holland
This is the same world - but different story and characters. So it can be read completely as a stand alone. Book three brings the characters from TEM and TT together and then book four will conclude a few storylines.

“So why shouldn’t the outside look the same? She picks up the razor and breaks it in half, freeing the blades from the protective plastic shell. She drops the rubbish on the floor, then holds one blade between two fingers. She can feel her hands shaking. Slowly, she puts the sharp edge against the top of her upper thigh. She sees the scars from previous times. Some no more than silver lines, others still red, barely healed. She pushes and draws the razor across her leg. She feels the blade puncture the skin, slice into her flesh. Blood blooms, runs down her leg. She does it again. She knows how hard she should push – enough to make it bleed but not so much that she needs the hospital. After all, she hasn’t got Nav any more.”
Sam Holland, The Echo Man

“It hardly seems real, does it?’ he mutters to Cara. ‘I mean, what does this guy do? Dismember people in his kitchen, then sit back and watch Star Wars?”
Sam Holland, The Echo Man

“Normal lives, and Romilly feels an irrational wave of anger at the mundane nature of it all. How dare they continue their existence when hers is being destroyed.”
Sam Holland, The Twenty
