Jordan Haverford is stuck between hunting demons, committing crime, and trying not to die from either. All he wants is to go home, but his chances look bleaker than ever. ***** Balancing his education in magic and demon-hunting with an apprenticeship to the assassin Arlen Blackheart is hard enough. Keeping his sister safe and avoiding assassination by Arlen's fanatic ex-student at the same time is pushing Jordan to breaking point. As he is drawn deeper into the life of an Unspoken and the knife-edge politics of the assassins' guild, shedding his old self - and his aspirations of escape - might be the only way to stay sane. Darker things are stirring at Nictaven's borders - the Whispering Wall is showing signs of strain, and sickness haunts the outer settlements, creeping closer to Shadow's Reach with each passing day. Within the city, the dead grow restless. Wonderful cover by Acacia Heather - Caysaaaa on Wattpad!

"God says no." A police officer's suicide is interrupted by the appearance of a woman who tells her she had been recruited to join a covert group that stops terrible things before they happen. Jane Berden is brought into Madrigal, a group created by a man who is able to see the future in perfect clarity and who uses this power to stop some of the wrongs in the world. However, even with absolute knowledge of how events come to pass, things still are able go wrong with catastrophic results. Jane must battle her own problems, questioning the morality of acceptable violence, all the while dealing with criminals, mass shooters, terrorists, and, worst of all, her teammates.

Ely and Jake Anselm aren't exactly brothers. In the near future, when laboratories churn out everything from babies to pancreases at the convenience of those who can afford it, few accidents are without remedy. Still, no world is error-free--which is how Jake ended up with a clone instead of a new kidney. Bound by shared blood and scars, the Anselm boys have cultivated a peculiar habit of sameness that grows strained by their impending high school graduation. Only their best friend Marco Sepúlveda--part emotional support dog, part principal investigator--seems to understand. As his connection to Jake splinters, Ely finds himself drawn to his classmate and onetime hookup, Vera Zhao, though her identity crisis might be even worse than his. For the four of them, determining the future depends on uncoiling the past. Is identity something you're born with, or something you're born to lose?
