This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do.
This afternoon, her planet was invaded.
The
year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet
that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the
universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With
enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even
talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating
fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.
But their problems
are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is
mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet's AI, which should be
protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will
say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to
find the truth, it's clear only one person can help her bring it all to
light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she'd never speak to again.
Told
through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails,
schematics, military files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more—Illuminae
is the first book in a heart-stopping, high-octane trilogy about lives
interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.

Passage, n.
i. A brief section of music composed of a series of notes and flourishes.
ii. A journey by water; a voyage.
iii. The transition from one place to another, across space and time.
In
one devastating night, violin prodigy Etta Spencer loses everything she
knows and loves. Thrust into an unfamiliar world by a stranger with a
dangerous agenda, Etta is certain of only one thing: she has traveled
not just miles but years from home. And she’s inherited a legacy she
knows nothing about from a family whose existence she’s never heard of.
Until now.
Nicholas Carter is content with his life at sea, free
from the Ironwoods—a powerful family in the colonies—and the servitude
he’s known at their hands. But with the arrival of an unusual passenger
on his ship comes the insistent pull of the past that he can’t escape
and the family that won’t let him go so easily. Now the Ironwoods are
searching for a stolen object of untold value, one they believe only
Etta, Nicholas’ passenger, can find. In order to protect her, he must
ensure she brings it back to them—whether she wants to or not.
Together,
Etta and Nicholas embark on a perilous journey across centuries and
continents, piecing together clues left behind by the traveler who will
do anything to keep the object out of the Ironwoods’ grasp. But as they
get closer to the truth of their search, and the deadly game the
Ironwoods are playing, treacherous forces threaten to separate Etta not
only from Nicholas but from her path home... forever.

The Fates are cackling their bony asses off…
It’s
been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his
life to them. And so far, the jobs they’ve given him have been violent
and bloody–which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has
something else in mind for Seth. He’s got to play protector while
keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a
problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most
challenging yet.
Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy’s deal
might be, but it’s a good bet that his arrival means the new life she
started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized
blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare
straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her.
But it might be
the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed,
secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of
all.
Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.
Book 1 in the new adult paranormal TITAN series, spin-off to the best selling COVENANT series.

Warm Hawaiian sun. Lazy beach days. Flirty texts with her boyfriend back in Seattle.
These
are the things seventeen-year-old Sloane McIntyre pictured when she
imagined the summer she’d be spending at her mom’s home in Hawaii with
her twin brother, Penn. Instead, after learning an unthinkable secret
about her boyfriend, Tyler, and best friend, Mick, all she has is a
fractured hand and a completely shattered heart.
Once she arrives
in Honolulu, though, Sloane hopes that Hawaii might just be the escape
she needs. With beach bonfires, old friends, exotic food, and the
wonders of a waterproof cast, there’s no reason Sloane shouldn’t enjoy
her summer. And when she meets Finn McAllister, the handsome son of a
hotel magnate who doesn’t always play by the rules, she knows he’s the
perfect distraction from everything that’s so wrong back home.
But
it turns out a measly ocean isn’t nearly enough to stop all the emails,
texts, and voicemails from her ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend,
desperate to explain away their betrayal. And as her casual connection
with Finn grows deeper, Sloane’s carefree summer might not be as easy to
find as she’d hoped. Weighing years of history with Mick and Tyler
against their deception, and the delicate possibility of new love,
Sloane must decide when to forgive, and when to live for herself.
