In a city filled with corrupt government systems and underlying threats, Grace Summerland can’t accept the fact that the mysterious ‘Night Vigilante’ is as bad as everyone makes him out to be, not when he has the same eyes as the boy who saved her ten years ago. All of Grace’s life has been made up of lies, ranging from her father’s disappearance to the night she almost died, and Grace is all too willing to risk it all in an attempt to finally know the truth. Agreeing to betray the son of the most powerful man in Citadel, Grace doesn’t even know half of what she is getting herself into with all the secrecy surrounding her family and her connection to the Vigilante and Citadel. The only things she knows for sure after walking home to find the notorious Night Vigilante bleeding and asking for her help, is that it’s going to take more than a few stiches to get this town “Villain” back on his feet- Especially since she seems to be the one doing all the falling. ~*~ Cole Waters is the Night Vigilante. Adopted into an elite faction called the Vigilantes, Cole embraces the idea of selfless bravery, and courage found in humility. What he finds though is that it’s a lot harder to be selfless when he can’t seem to leave the mysterious girl he saved years ago. Careening faster into the web of Citadel corruption, Vigilante deception and the fierce desire for a girl he can never have, Cole finds himself being deemed as the “Villain” of the city when all he wants to do is help. Being good was never easy to begin with, but being a ‘hero’ has never seemed to be as impossible as it has been until now- especially when falling in love with the girl means forsaking the selfless to embody the selfish. ~*~ Book soundtrack: http://8tracks.com/smarsbars157/the-night-vigilante Ranking: Action #86

In Tokyo, where the System siphons thought, emotions & memories, a literature student meets a strange psychic girl and they embark on an escape from mindless agents, dream worlds and reality itself, in a soul-searching journey for love, for identity and what it means to be human. But all that remains is a peculiar coffee shop order. The novel examines the human condition, perception, socio-political systems, capitalism and consumer culture, incorporating paranoiac conspiracy theories, surreal cosmic visions, circular symbolism and shifting parallel worlds, with profound discussions of coffee, art, literature and music.

"Very interesting concept of reality... Thought provoking.." "I have been turned to a whole new way of thinking because of you." "Like a seven course meal full of spice and illumination...

A rare breed of good story and thought provoking ideas... A virtual standing ovation would not be enough to encapsulate the absolute awe I have of you."
