Finished: 2013 Angeline Parker - femme fatale. She can win your heart, but just as well she can break it. Born with Onychokinesis and angel wings, she is an immortal warrior. And in a world with not only humans, she and a group of orphaned children have to scrounge for their survival. The humans hunt these dangers called mutants. A life threatening mission of the angel's proves successful, but once they return home, disaster strikes - her brother's death. Her perfectly murderous façade cracks, leaving a scared and distressed young woman. Daniel Ryder is her best friend and a shape-shifter, and, fearing for her, he comes to her aid. But when her mind has warped, she snags him by the heartstrings and is unwillingly dragged under the covers, into her oblivion. And weeks later, a change brings Danny's life into focus. Angeline isn't the same anymore. They receive something neither of them had even known could happen - a living thing. But with this come new enemies and new hardships. This is a story of fantasy, family, love, blood, and protecting what you hold most dear to your heart. ©

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- Marcus, a.k.a “w1n5t0n,” is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works–and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school’s intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems. But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they’re mercilessly interrogated for days. When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself.
