I liked this story and will be getting the next book in the series when it comes out in December. The characters were in general likable, or at least if you don't like them you aren't supposed to. The premise is unique and the story was fun to read.

is the first book in a relatively new series by Lisa Renee Jones. General Powell authorized the unwilling inoculation of 200 special forces members with alien DNA. His unwilling test subjects, referred to as GTECH all developed the power to "windwalk" - dissolve into the wind and let it carry them where ever they wanted to go. Some of them also developed other powers. Now, a little over a year later, his daughter, Cassandra, has arrived at Groom Lake (Area 51) to try and find out why some of them are more aggressive than others. The difference seems to boil down to Gene X.

Sterling is sent to meet Rebecca, a NASA scientist and the last of a short list of scientists that might be able to figure out ICE (and a romance that never was from college) upon her return from Germany. But they are attacked and taken prisoner by the Zodius warriors.
in May. Hot button warning: though there are not any on or off screen rapes, there is definitely a question of dubious consent or the equivalent of drugged rape since Adam's lifebond influences the women captured by the Zodius to the point where they will accept any of the Zodius warriors as sexual partners.

) on the way in October and a fifth book in the process of being written. There are also several short stories available on Christina Henry's website http://www.christinahenry.net. I recommend reading book one before the short stories and you will definitely be missing something if you don't read the books in order.
is the first book in a relatively new series by Regan Hasting (the second book was just released). The concept is that magic has been revealed to be real and the general population is frightened by the witches that practice it. Because of that the Magic Police have been created. They capture witches and put them in essentially concentration camps where there is no appeal to get out again and they are often executed. It doesn't take much to get you rounded up as a witch, just be female and have someone accuse you of witchcraft.
