Rewind: The Third Son
The law hates him. Criminals fear him. Someone wants to be him. Three-quarters of humanity have evolved into superpowered beings bound by a genetic killing barrier. They are the Dominants, incapable of murder. The rest are Recessives: ordinary, unprotected, and fully capable of killing. Gabriel is one of them. Fresh out of prison after serving seven years for murder, all Gabriel wants is to go home, reunite with his family, and leave violence behind. But when a serial killer begins terrorizing the city, his own sister calls him a psycho, and a stalker known only as R escalates their twisted game from the shadows, Gabriel realizes something far worse than being hunted: Someone wants him to keep killing. Forced back into the role everyone despises - a killer, Gabriel must decide whether to abandon the one skill he was born for or embrace it on his own terms. As he tries to rebuild his life among the capital's elite: college halls, glittering social circles, heirs of power, he's drawn to a woman who hides more than she reveals, and to a truth more dangerous than any crime: Monsters don't always look like criminals. And criminals don't always look like monsters. As the line between justice and cruelty blurs, Gabriel faces a choice he can't escape: Cling to his humanity and be destroyed by the monsters around him, or fight back and become one himself. A man branded a killer, trying desperately to live. He survived juvie. He survived prison. Living might be harder. A story about power, guilt, and the fragile connections that hold a broken man together, or tear him apart.Complete
Shadows of the Night
"Nothing good ever came without sacrifice. Some of us just found clarity in the darkness of those shadows." *** Nyx Monroe grew up with terrifying tales of golden-eyed beasts with nightmarish fangs and murderous tendencies but as time passed, she forgot about them, convinced they were just scary stories. When her father, Azeil Monroe, is tasked with solving the murder plaguing the coastal city of Celacali, it's a chance at a fresh start. However, Nyx discovers everything is not what it seems beneath the veneer of the popular tourist location, also known as the City of the Dead. Something dark resides there-death and carnage reincarnate. Plunged into the city's shadows, Nyx stumbles into the open arms of notorious Orion, Kotori, Niko, and Kade-the boardwalk is their blood-stained domain. They've been waiting for twenty-five years to exact their revenge for a debt long overdue, luring Nyx and her father back to where it all began. Whilst they distract Azeil with one murder case after the other, their focus shifts to Nyx. Soon, there's nowhere left for her to run-to hide-from the true beasts of legend, or from the darkness of her past.Complete
