Makani Young grew up in Hawaii but has moved in with her grandmother in small-town Nebraska in order to escape her past.
She's made some friends and has a crush on cute loner Ollie that is just starting to develop into something more when a serial killer begins targeting her classmates.
As the grisly murders pile up, Makani starts to wonder if she'll be the next victim -- and also if she just might know the killer's identity.

Romance + mystery + slasher plot = a fun, gory read.

Darrow lives on Mars deep underground where he works in the mines and struggles for survival.
When his wife is taken from him, he comes to realize that his people, known as Reds, are essentially slaves who have been lied to for hundreds of years.
Darrow is recruited by a guerrilla group called the Sons of Ares, and in a search for justice and revenge, he accepts a mission to infiltrate the Golds, the powerful and cruel overlords who rule the planets.

This book has it all -- nonstop action; a great plot; brutal, bloody fights; a cooler than cool main character; and lots of twists and turns. Kind of like The Hunger Games (spectator sports! battles! revolution!) but about a million times better -- and it's in outer space!
