In Velocity City, never trust anyone in spandex-especially when the lines between hero and villain have begun to bleed. Ariella Hale has spent her life escaping the shadow of her legendary father, Red Bolt. Now seventeen and finally stepping out as the independent hero Phoenix, her first solo mission ends in a frozen bank vault where she comes face-to-face with the city's most dangerous new threat: Dominic, a shadow-wielding villain whose violet eyes and magnetic pull ignite something far more forbidden than fear. Torn between duty and desire, Ariella is caught in a devastating love triangle with her loyal best friend and sidekick, Lucas-who has secretly loved her for years-and the enigmatic bad boy determined to burn down the system her family protects. As hidden legacies, deadly family secrets, and a catastrophic Cybercode virus threaten everything she knows, Ariella must decide who she truly is: the perfect daughter of the light, or the girl brave enough to embrace the fire. In a world of masks and lies, when everyone is playing a part, how do you know who is real-especially when your heart wants the one person it is supposed to destroy?

Enver Williams is leading on a normal life but that is all ripped away from her when she is taken from her home town. When Enver comes to realize that there are others like her in more ways than one, she is determined to free herself and her newfound friends from the physiological torment of her closely supervised enclosure. ••• "Do I make you nervous, Enver?" Another idiotic question. "Wouldn't the man who kidnapped you and threatened to kill you make you nervous?" I snap at him. He only smiles an odd, crooked grin. I can make that disappear. "Wouldn't a murder make you nervous?" Now it's my turn to pull the strings. He looks at me with hurt in his eyes. "How many times do I have to say it?" He pauses, I guess hoping for some sort of mercy in my eyes, "I didn't kill her." "Liar!" I shout. "Why won't you believe me?!" "Would you believe yourself?" "It wasn't me who shot her," he sits on a stool, resting his elbows on his knees. "Then how do you know she was shot?" "I saw it. I saw him kill her," his voice was riddled with such pure vulnerability and pain it begged me to believe him. "Who?" I try to sound sympathetic, but it comes out as scared. Maybe, subconsciously, I am scared.
