FBI Special Agent Samuel Kerman has been tasked to catch a wildly erratic serial killer dropping bodies in Pennsylvania state parks. The victims differ, and the manner of murder changes every time. Amid the mountains of physical evidence, only a mysterious gray dust and declarations of guilt or innocence link the crimes. It's not much to work with, and the case drags on for months. Then, things go from bad to worse when the killer makes it personal. Family, friends, strangers...everybody's in danger of being scratched off.

Victoria Saveron knows two things for certain. Dark forces want to kill her, and her friends have cooler powers than she does. Katrina can shapeshift and Tellen can tap into destructive magic currents. Everything else is uncertain and rumors abound.

When Dr. Jessica Paladon worked for her friend, Dr. Dean Devya, she helped create Nadia, one of the world's few Minders. Tough circumstances drove her away from that life, and to protect the secrets, she willingly took a drug that induced amnesia. But now she needs those memories. Two children - her children - Nadia and Varick, are competing in a winners-take-all, losers-might-die competition for the biggest secret government contract out there. They're fighting for the right to exist.

He joins the royal guard and goes on the Kireshana, so that someday he can confront the usurper and take back the throne.

Name’s Jess. The superhero version is called Just Jess, but I feel like Desperate Jess is a better moniker. My to-do list grew exponentially. (Translation: In addition to my normal duties of reviewing superpowers, I have to find a cure for my sister, solve two power puzzles, and work with Mayor Shady Pants’s misfit crew of Supers.) Saving my sister may involve defying the government overlords and that’s not healthy for other people in my life. If I don’t pull off several miracles, my sister may only be the first of many casualties.

People connected to Devya's Children are dead or being hunted. Selling government secrets could buy them a lot of bargaining power, but Dustin's knowledge is power. One path leads to captivity and the chance to hone their Gifts to perfection. The other path leads to freedom and a life on the run.

To pass the next training phase, Cassandra must kill a certain target, but the line between friend and foe quickly blurs.

Name’s Jess, but my official superhero name is Just Jess. (Just as in justice according to one yappy reporter.) Because I have multiple Gifts, I get to be the poster child for superpowers. Lucky me. (Translation: I get to deal with suited ninnies in stuffy boardrooms, a big fat target on my back, and would-be supervillains who keep popping up like dandelions.) Chasing down bad guys might keep me out of the boardroom (always a plus), but the government head games threaten my sanity and my family.
