Forever Haunt

Adam Carpenter

Sinopsis

Fifteen years ago, NYPD officer Joseph McSwain was gunned down while trying to stop a robbery. His murder was never solved. Until now.
For his son, Hell's Kitchen private detective Jimmy McSwain, his father's death has defined him, defied him, and denied him his chance at happiness. But the shooting death of a young officer named Denson Luke has re-ignited the investigation into the mysterious Blue Death conspiracy. Jimmy still must earn a living, so he cannot ignore a family in distress. 
New neighbors Carmen Ramirez and her young son Sonny are clearly running from danger. Overnight, their case becomes one involving a missing father, a Chinese crime syndicate, and an abduction which threatens to overwhelm Jimmy's mission of solving his father's case. With his relationship status with Frank Frisano on and off again, Jimmy tries to do double duty, jeopardizing his own safety. It's only when another murder occurs that Jimmy finally finds the path that has eluded him. 
His investigation finally leads him back home, where a devastating family secret overshadows all he's learned, and the cost to the McSwain family may never be repaid. Jimmy realizes the blood on his hands will forever haunt him.

Yugen

Devin Vandriel, Janessa Keeling

What happens when the chosen one isn't chosen?
Vian has survived ten years of Guardian training. Dreaming of adventure and glory. He's a wizard-warrior with the highest exam scores in his cohort. He's also got a dark secret slumbering behind his eyes—uncontrollable magic that activates with eye contact. If his fellow Guardians discover it, they'll be duty-bound to kill him.
The night before their final trial, Ridvik tells him they've both been hand-selected for the Wolves. An hour later, Vian learns the truth: Ridvik gets the elite assignment, and Vian gets shipped off to a fortress basement. His job? Watch the rocks glow. Pull a rope if one stops glowing. Stay safe, stay protected, and never see anything remotely resembling the danger or adventure he's been craving.
But Vian's adventure is only beginning. The Goddess of Destiny isn't finished with her nephew, and she's offering everything he's ever wanted: his dead brother back, a chance at greatness, and all the power he could dream of. Meanwhile, the man who trained him offers something else entirely—a chance to escape the Guardians, the crap job, and decide his own fate.
Too bad divine gifts always come with a price. And sometimes the biggest choice isn't between good and evil—it's between the adventure you think you want and the person you're meant to become.
One day you're serving alcohol to pompous Guardians who didn't earn their rank. The next you're standing back to back with the ones who did. Then you're getting your ass literally paddled by middle management while your friend wiggles his bare butt at the guy with the paddle.
Welcome to military life. It's exactly as stupid as you think it is.
