Connected

David Random

There’s been a murder.

The frustrated legal system wrestles with how to prosecute a murderer who is apparently immune from punishment, as any attempt to exact justice would surely affect his conjoined twin. 
It appears there can be no satisfactory outcome. That is until a surprising discovery is made.

The Alvarez Girls - A Military...

J.E. Ortega

They Took Her Sister. Now Sheʼs Taking Justice Into Her Own Hands. 
When photographer Yaneriz Alvarez senses somethingʼs off, she listens—not to logic, but to the aching thread thatʼs always tethered her to her twin. Amaya, a soldier stationed at Fort Hood, has gone silent. The Army says sheʼs on leave. Her apartment says otherwise. And the voice of their dead grandmother whispering in Yanerizʼs ear wonʼt let her ignore the truth: something terrible has happened. 
What starts as a sisterʼs search unravels into a chilling web of military coverups, misogyny, and systemic silence. But Yaneriz didnʼt come this far to be quiet. With nothing but her instincts, a camera, and the ghost of the woman who raised them both, sheʼll claw her way through the lies—even if it means becoming the monster they tried to make her out to be. 
THE ALVAREZ GIRLS is a heart-wrenching novella that fuses psychological suspense, sisterhood, and social commentary into a devastating punch. Perfect for fans of The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz and Verity by Colleen Hoover—with a Dominican twist.
