Awaken (Awakened Fate Book 1)

by Skye Malone


Running away from home was never Chloe Kowalski’s plan. Neither was ending up the target of killers, or having her body change in unusual ways. She only wanted a vacation, someplace far from her crazy parents and their irrational fear of water. She only wanted to do something normal for once, and maybe get to know her best friend’s hot stepbrother a bit better at the same time.

But the first day she goes out on the ocean, strange things start to happen. Dangerous things that should be impossible. Things to which ‘normal’ doesn't even begin to apply.

Now madmen are hunting her. A mysterious guy with glowing blue eyes is following her. And her best friend’s stepbrother seems to be hiding secrets all his own.

It was supposed to be a vacation. It's turning out to be a whole lot more.

Fantastically flawed, as if every day were Christmas…

Twelve-year-old Ravlen has to grow up too soon, to save those who can’t save themselves.

She’s not ready, but she goes anyway.

Into the echo, where she has to find herself as much as the lost souls within.

Read it today.

WHEN GODS CLASH: THE BLUE PENDANT

by ROB JAMES


A genre-bending breakout novel from a bold, fresh voice in contemporary fiction. Think Highlander, all set in the present day.

While visiting the battlefield of Culloden, Scotland, US marine veteran Angus MacDonald hears a voice. A voice that connects him to his forefathers, butchered by the British in 1746. It delivers a frightening message: Fight an unworldly foe or prepare for Earth’s enslavement.
The terrors he faced in Afghanistan pale compared to this latest enemy and the toughest battle of his life begins. The voice of the Gods of mythology had told him Hades was alone in his hate, but no, and the vicious attacks are beyond his imaginings as the theater of war spreads.

Can he preserve his sanity and survive?

He must confront history to defend the world from servitude while unraveling his strange heritage. He strives to discover millennia-old truths from Olympus, Greece, and the violent history that produced them. The truth of who bred him to die saving humanity. When he returns to Washington, D.C., the enemy, Hades, follows.

Rob James’ WHEN GODS CLASH includes a fascinating take on Greek mythology through vivid world-building. This novel is a searing, unique makeover of loved themes.

Off Trail

by Rick Polito


A laugh-out-loud coming of age story of one teen’s preposterous experience in a wilderness therapy program.

 

Daniel grew up in the shadow of his older sister, the brash, self-assured, and utterly reckless Jackie, now living with her dirtbag boyfriend and wandering through dead-end jobs. When his parents find her marijuana stash in his closet and decide they do not want him to turn out like his sister, Daniel suffers the “trickle-down parenting” effect and is sent to Quest Trail.

Surrounded by other similarly uprooted teens, Daniel endures a series of preposterous self-discovery exercises and gets caught up in a rivalry with Troy, a too-tough poser, as they vie for the attention of Vera, a charismatic California teen who grew up with too much money and not enough emotional connection.

Just as Daniel’s confidence begins to grow and things start to look up, the Quest Trail program dissolves into complete chaos.

Sometimes humorous, sometimes painful, Off Trail shows an authentic account of all the embarrassing and heart-wrenching moments of being a teen.
