Darrell Edgar was an unlicensed splicer - a surgeon specializing in implants both organic and robotic. Operating out of a lab tucked under a dive bar, he had successfully carved a pretty comfortable life for himself, installing and maintaining various less-than-legal implants for customers he'd prefer to know as little about as possible. That preference backfires when a customer connected with the wrong sort of people dies under the knife.

Ashes of tomarrow
Genre: Sci-Fi | Psychological Horror | Post-Apocalyptic Drama When the world burned, four teenagers survived. Milo, Rae, Ava, and Silas didn't ask to live through the end - but they did. Now, stuck in a ruined world of silence, shadows, and memories that aren't always their own, they fight to stay human in a landscape shaped by something unnatural. But survival gets more complicated when they uncover a chilling truth: the apocalypse wasn't a disaster. It was a test. A controlled experiment under the name Project Loci - and they were its subjects. Now stalked by cloned imposters, haunted by flickers of who they used to be, and drawn toward a signal no one else is meant to hear, the group must decide what they're willing to lose to uncover the truth... and what might already be lost. Because in a world built from lies, the biggest question isn't what happened. It's who are you now that everything's gone? What will happen once one dies?

That's until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who reminds her of her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad were to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it's no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new-found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.Completa

A Scalpel Between Us
You're finally living the dream as a fresh surgical technician at the prestigious Halcyon Ridge Medical Center, where the gowns are sterile, the surgeons are hot, and the operating tables are murder scenes waiting to happen. Your first day? You nearly faint during a bowel resection, accidentally flirt with your assigned trauma surgeon, Dr. Elias Maddox, and then watch a patient mysteriously flatline mid-operation under the scalpel of Dr. Marcus Vale, who smiles like he's seen the inside of a freezer truck.....recently. As bodies pile up and nobody seems concerned, it's up to you (and Nurse Didi, your chaos-loving ride-or-die) to uncover the truth. The deeper you cut into the hospital's secrets, the more twisted they become and the more your heart inconveniently attaches to Elias, the one man you probably shouldn't trust in a building full of scalpels and lies. Equal parts comedy, romance, and blood-soaked suspense, A Scalpel Between Us is your front-row seat to falling in love in the worst possible place. The middle of a medical murder mystery.Completa
A Cut Not Deep Enough
So that was the deciding factor. It became my inspiration, my reason for resorting to such seclusion. I had always needed my own space for working, which is why even when I worked in the hospital I never allowed for a nurse or doctor or any other person to be in room, except me and the patient. I am unable to perform my work with prying eyes staring me down and questioning me, questioning my methods and maybe even questioning my humanity. Thus, when she stopped living here by my side, I took that as my cue to quit working in the hospital. ---- Dr. Roy Andrews, a highly credible neurosurgeon has a knack for solving cases of comatose. His methods, however, are questionable. And highly unorthodox. He enters the patient's minds. Despite that factor, he has never once messed up a case. He has never once lost somebody. However, when patient Kester Montgomery arrives under his care, the circumstances of his case baffle Dr. Andrews, leading to the possibility of a detrimental outcome. As Andrews ventures through the depths of Kester's mind, he finds out what working on a case of mental instability is like. ***Cover photo does not belong to me.
