Shhh ... 

It all started with a hush and an ellipse and an eighteen-year-old girl named Lia hungry to prove herself as a true badass after a life in the shadows of her older brothers. But what does that mean?

Her Nana would say it's having the courage to be kind to all, even the ones she doesn't like. Her father would say it's total self-reliance. Her brother would say it's putting a lead pipe up against the head of anyone who won't take her seriously. 

But when the opportunity comes to take a mysterious job no one has been able to finish in the thirty years since it was posted, the pressure is on, and Lia is left to discover for herself what it requires to stand up and stand out.

The Darkmist: Death By Choice by DredreBarney
3 parts Complete Mature
Living in a world that is being overrun by corrupt politicians and suffering through a poorly handled drug epidemic, Rex Mist is faced with a challenge. He has lost everything and is forced to work for the people he hates most: The military. He has been exposed to the radioactive narcotic drug, Dark Mist, that grants him supernatural abilities, so he decides to use them to overthrow the military on his mission to dismantle, defund, and reimagine the government. Along the way, he is faced with many obstacles, such as losing his powers to his mortal enemy, encountering various thugs, and cheating death time and time again. He teams up with a couple: Mark, a soldier, and Erza, an expert healer. They each have a love/hate relationship with Lever, which causes them to phase in and out of working together. Lever is the daughter of the lead scientist who developed the Dark Mist drug, which is an aggressive version of the drug Breakdown. She offhandedly works with the military and is on a mission to save her father who overdosed on Dark Mist. Along this journey, we encounter several eccentric, colorful characters. A carfree blind girl named Maliezza, who is a walking contradiction. Her group of friends, each with a unique power that they honed while being raised in an orphanage. Dokusei, a charming, yet cocky mercenary who supplies the gang with weapons and escorts them on missions. Additionally, there are a number of dark, powerful figures known as Reapers who have ascended to a higher level of power due to having a hefty kill count. All odds appear to be against Rex and his squad. Can he defeat the military? Will Lever leave the military and fight for the other side? Can the effects of Dark Mist be reversed?

"They took my sister. Now I'm taking her back." Seventeen years ago, humans started developing supernatural abilities. Comic books came true as the first person flew, created fire, mind-read. The world entered a new age where people who could do special things were revered and admired. That all changed when one man lost control of his power and unleashed a huge explosion in a crowded shopping centre, killing over a thousand others. A series of fights involving superhumans broke out, resulting in the destruction of multiple cities and hundreds upon hundreds of further lives lost. The government began hunting down those extraordinary people with the assistance of a specialised unit: trained in recognising different abilities. Suddenly powers became something scary, uncontrollable and dangerous, that nobody wanted to own up to having. Seventeen years after the Explosion, Amelie Rose Carmichael is the daughter of the man who is in charge of hunting down and imprisoning these people. She enjoys a comfortable life, protected from any threats against her. But when Amelie develops an ability without warning, she must try to keep it hidden from her family, her friends, and above all her father. Can she keep a secret?
