Reagan Through the Looking Glass (Hacking Wonderland Book 1)

by Allyson Lindt

She's stepped into a world where everything and everyone has a price, and her time is running out to discover who holds the bounty on her head.

When Reagan's student adviser tells her that he’s worried for his life and hers, she shrugs it off. Sure, the first ten or so times he pulled this, she panicked, but now it’s old news. Then he’s found dead. The police say he’s the victim of a burglary gone bad, but she knows it’s not that simple. Jabberwocky--the kingpin of the deep web, and the man who killed her brother--knows she’s close to discovering his identity.

Two men insist they can keep her safe and help her find answers. Hare is sweet, soft-spoken, and introduces her to wickedly delicious pleasures she never fathomed were real.

Hatter has kept secrets from her since they met. But he speaks her language, and a single touch from him ignites her desire.

As she follows the tracks down the rabbit hole, Reagan is dropped headfirst into a world of the debauched and surreal, where everything and everyone has a price. And her time is running out to discover if it's the Hatter or the Hare who owns Jabberwocky’s bounty on her.

Author's Note: This book is part one of a duet. It does not stand alone. Book 2, The Hatter and the Hare, is coming November 2017

The 2250 Saga: A dystopian action-adventure

by Nirina Stone

... "5 Stars!" April Gilly; Readers Favorite Reviewer ...
... "Excellent world-building!" Amazon Reviewer ...
... "Could not put this down!" Goodreads Reviewer ...


The 2250 Saga is a Dystopian Action-Adventure based in the fictional world of Apex.

Follow Romy over ten years of her life as she tries to survive living as a Citizen in the world of autocratic Prospos and Soren Terrorists.
In this edition, you will find:

Romy [Book I]:
In the year 2250, life in Apex is built on classification systems. The rich Prospo live a lavish life in skyscrapers. Poor Citizens live underground and Soren terrorists are a threat that no one wants to contend with, least of all young, healthy women that are used solely for breeding.

Twenty year old Romy believes she's done everything right to avoid being put on the Soren auction block. She's studied hard and attained her robotic certification to secure an enviable job in Prospo City, but when her time comes, instead of the coveted 'B' classification, Romy's status leaves her vulnerable to the Soren terrorists.

Follow Romy as she strives to live the life she's worked so hard to attain and learns the truth about her name, her past, and her world.

Romy's Legacy [Book II]:
It is 2255. The tyrants of the past are no more, and Romy’s life is perfect. Her quest to start a new community in the North has begun; food is plentiful; and everyone has ample space to live. All she has to look forward to is exploration and the occasional adventure.
That is, until she encounters the new people and realizes her ideal community is not what she expected. She’s left questioning everything, including the fact that they aren’t merely “backwards travelers” any more than she is merely a Legacy.
Follow Romy as she grapples with her past and the new world, unlocking truths along the way that threaten to dismantle everything.

Romy's Last Stand:

This is what it all comes down to. The big climax. The end. My death.


Romy hides in plain sight amongst her enemies.
Her assignment? Help make Liberty the utopia it was meant to be, and it is right on track.
But between assassination attempts, security bots, deals with sworn enemies, and even more secrets than she can handle, she's convinced she won't survive the end of the world...

The Brothers Locke: An Urban Fantasy Adventure

by KC Hunter

Sometimes the Good Guys are the Bad Boys

Mouth, Echo and Sharp Locke are identical teenage triplets — and master thieves — who live in the magical world known as The Dea. Each brother is gifted in one way and disadvantaged in another: Mouth is hard of hearing but has a voice powerful enough to level buildings, Echo is legally blind but has enhanced hearing that can even decipher information being transferred along radio waves, and Sharp is mute but has vision so enhanced that he can see great distances as well as in different spectrums of light. Working together, they make a proficient team of teenage thieves.

Their first official job is to steal a mysterious artifact, The Key of the Spire, from the metropolis of Avidity. The job becomes complicated when what they've stolen turns out to be an ancient relic that mercenaries, monsters, and madmen covet and will go to any lengths to obtain. This pairs them with an unlikely group of mercenaries known as Solas for help, although they have their own agenda for aiding the brothers.

From fleeing the city of Avidity, to being trapped by ghosts and monsters in the darkness of Black Harvester Forest, to being captured by air pirates known as the Crimson Corsairs, to battling hybrid man-bat mutants and their sinister master Von Strauss, this urban fantasy adventure is filled with vibrant characters, imaginative locations, and fast-paced action.

For fans of Potter, Percy, or Peregrine, this fast-paced fantasy adventure story is for you!

Rath's Deception

On the cut-throat streets of Tarkis, orphaned teens like Rath end up jailed … or dead. So when the shadowy Janus Group offers Rath a chance to earn riches beyond his wildest dreams, he seizes it. But the Janus Group is as ruthless as the elite assassins it controls. Rath will have to survive their grueling, off-world training, and fulfill all fifty kills in his contract before a single cent comes his way. And ending so many lives comes with a price Rath can't anticipate. It'll certainly cost him what's left of his innocence. It may well cost him his life.

Rath's Gambit
Rath just assassinated a senator, and completed his final mission for the Janus Group. Now every Interstellar Police officer on Alberon is searching for him. If they don't find him, one of his fellow contractors certainly will … and the most feared criminal organization in the galaxy has severe punishments for employees who break the rules. Rath's only hope is to find the rogue contractor who helped him escape a company deathtrap after his final mission. United, the two assassins might just get free from the Janus Group and get what they're owed. But first they'll need to survive.

Rath's Reckoning
Rath and Paisen completed all fifty kills in their contracts with the Janus Group. But when they uncovered the criminal organization's darkest secret, the Janus Group unleashed an army of assassins to silence the rogue pair. With help from a former Interstellar Police detective, Rath and Paisen survive - barely. Their plan to attack the Janus Group head-on may be suicide, but in the end, they'll tear the organization to the ground … or die trying.

It’s been months since ex-Navy SEAL Jack McCullen last saw his fiancée, Suz Molloy. He was on the other side of the world involved in a grueling black ops mission for Iniquus Corporation at the behest of the US government.

Devastated by Jack’s last death-defying act of heroism, life quickly takes a turn for the worse for Suz. Terrorists attack the school where Suz teaches first-grade. Suz saves her students’ lives, but her own moment of heroism leads the terrorists to believe she is a CIA operative. Suz is taken hostage.
