Feedback
D L Richardson
Listening to your inner voice can get you killed.
Ethan James, Florida Bowman, and Jake Inala are three teenagers who receive much-needed organ transplants. Two weeks later they are inadvertently recruited by the CIA when a spy dies halfway through his mission. Three bacteria bombs are set to detonate, spreading illness and death across the planet, and it’s up to Ethan, Florida, and Jake to deactivate them.
Except that they have no idea where the bombs are located.
Kidnapped for information they can’t possibly know, and fuelled by the spirit of a dead CIA agent, Ethan, Florida, and Jake must look deep inside themselves if they are to finish the mission and save millions of lives. But they’re being held captive in a strange place by a man who believes in Feedback, the theory that information is retained in the memory of organs–in this case those of a certain dead CIA agent donor. And their captor will stop at nothing to get the information retained in their newly transplanted organs.
Dodger
Amanda Hash
First love wasn’t supposed to be this hard...
Sixteen-year-old Dodger was raised to be a thief. He’s always been good at it too, until he’s caught red handed robbing one of the most expensive mansions in the city. The kid who lives there isn’t much older than Dodger, and things get weird when the kid seems more interested in talking than calling the cops. When he tells Dodger not to forget his loot—it’s only money, and his parents have plenty—Dodger’s sure the guy’s playing him. But the cops never do show up...
Dodger’s suspicion of the wealthy Augustine Dante makes it hard to face his growing attraction. Not to mention that Dodger’s “family”—the band of thieves who took him in as a child—would freak if they caught him hanging with the “enemy.” Dodger knows he can’t keep Augustine a secret forever. The time will come when he’ll have to make a choice: follow his family, or follow his heart?
