The 'Epics' came to being. Though endowed with superpowers, they were anything but heroes.

David Charleston lost his father at the hands of the mightiest of them all, Steelheart, as a boy. Watching and studying the Epics for the last ten years, he's figured out each has a weakness. He just needs the help of the Reckoners to enact his revenge.

I enjoyed many, but not all of the stories. I found myself pulled into several, and awkwardly watching from the outside on others. Not every story will please everyone, but I'm confident some stories will grab your attention.
​

Charlene "Charlie" Hartley is about to graduate High School and go off to college when her secret catches the attention of a young A.N.D.R.E.I. operative with a special ability of her own.

When Charlie learns she's not only adopted, but she may have a twin sister working for A.N.D.R.E.I., she walks away from her path to Harvard to develop her powers and reunite with the family she's never known. 

Heart of the Hydra by A. Mangina will take you along with Nick and Harper on their quest to find true love, even though they both feel like aliens among humans.

​Harper isn't your typical girl, and Nick is nowhere close to your typical boy. At least, that's how they feel about themselves. However, through their inner dialogue, it's safe to say they are just as normal as anyone else on this planet with desires and fears that have too much control over their choices. 

Death Becomes Her by Michael Anderle has good writing, but I just didn't feel invested in the plot or characters enough to read past the first 10%. Maybe you'll like it better!

I'm pleased to give Social Engineer by Ian Sutherland a solid 4 stars. 

Brody Taylor is a hacker who uses his computer skills and social manipulation to penetrate corporations' security measures to show how feeble they are. Imagine a one-man Sneakers crew!​

1000 Yards by Mark Dawson is a quick, fast-paced, read.

The protagonist, John Milton, flies into North Korea on a deadly mission for the British Government. If he's caught, there's no going home... EVER!

I first came across The Fray Theory: Resonance by Nelou Keramati while browsing the giveaways under science fiction. The beautifully illustrated cover art caught my eye, and I became more impressed learning the author drew it herself.  ​​The cover art style lends to a cross between 1960’s espionage and a modern anime love triangle. The author offered an ARC in return for an honest review. Being an author looking for reviews myself, I thought I’d pay it forward and take her up on the offer.
