Deep inside the neutral zone……something impossible waits.

Is it a trap, a solution, or pretense for war?

A once promising officer, Lt. Commander Faith Benson’s career has stalled. A posting aboard the search-and-rescue starship Pandora told her all she needed to know: There will be no further advancement.

How could she make the best of it?

Then comes the S.O.S.

The signal takes the Pandora dangerously close to enemy space, but that’s their job. Still, this rescue isn’t like the others. Faith knows that one wrong move, and the bloodthirsty Azoren Federation would be on them.

What she doesn’t expect is the captain’s poor decision.

Now, the crew will have to fight for their lives.

Will Faith defy an illegal order, or does she have another card to play?

You’ll love this first book in the War in Shadow saga, with its interesting characters and intricate world building.

He’s the instructor she can’t forget. She’s the cadet he couldn’t break.

Lieutenant Ramie Ashdyn is an anomaly, a person whose genetics makes her stronger and smarter than the average human. She’s pledged her life to protect the Coalition, an alliance of thirteen planetary systems, but when a top secret operation turns bloody, she’s charged with treason and the brutal executions of her teammates.

The Coalition needs the information Ash’s team stole on their last mission, so they send in Commander Rhys “Rest in Peace” Rykus to get it. He’s the man who’s responsible for turning Ash into an elite soldier… and he’s a man who isn’t, never was, and never will be in love with the woman he trained. Or so he tells himself.

Ash wants nothing more than to clear her name and be the woman her former instructor wants her to be, but the enemy who killed her teammates did more than frame her for treason and murder: they telepathically silenced her mind, preventing her from saying anything that might point to the truth about what happened.

Now Ash is trapped and set to be executed, the truth dying with her. Unless she can prove her innocence. But taking that path could destroy the Coalition she’s sworn to preserve and protect…

From the moment of my birth, I became Zeus’s number one Most Wanted.
I’m so screwed.

I’m not a bad person. In fact, I’m training to be a nurse so I can help and heal people. Not that Zeus would care about any of that if he even knew. No, all he cares about is his law- no humans are allowed to use magic. The punishment for breaking this is death- a fate I’ve been able to avoid by living my life in meticulous secrecy.

Until the night my magic activates on its own, releasing a gorgeous demigod from the town’s statue.

I have no choice but to run, taking Nikandros with me. After days filled with terror of being caught and killed, Nik convinces me to fight for my freedom. My magic may be strong, but going up against Zeus himself? Impossible. Run or fight, it doesn’t seem to matter anymore.

Thanks to this magic I’ve been cursed with, I will soon meet my end.

If you like touching on Greek Mythology in books like Percy Jackson, observing a young woman forced by circumstance to embrace the heroine within like Katniss in the Hunter Games, and exploring some light, clean romance with your fast-paced Young Adult Fantasy books, then you’ll devour Katie Cherry’s imaginative new series.

If you’d asked me a week ago, I would have told you that the best cupcakes were dark chocolate with chocolate cream cheese icing, that dancing in a crowd of magic wielders — the Adept — was better than sex, and that my life was peaceful and uneventful. Just the way I liked it. That’s what twenty-three years in the magical backwater of Vancouver will get you — a completely skewed sense of reality. Because when the dead werewolves started showing up, it all unraveled … except for the cupcake part. That’s a universal truth.
