    Alex Peterson, aka Scar, doesn’t know many details about his past. He doesn’t know why two aliens took his mother away, he doesn’t know why two other aliens killed his father, and he doesn’t know how he got the scar on his face—the one that occasionally turns him into a murderous monster. 
He lives on the streets of Neetro City with his partner Christine Summers, and together, they steal the things they need to survive. But life as usual is disrupted when Alex is taken by a man in a suit and brought to the Assassination Police Department, who gives him an ultimatum: Join them and help to eliminate the dangerous people who terrorize Neetro City, or die. 
But what they don’t know is that sometimes Alex is one of those “dangerous people”. How long will he be able to keep that a secret? 
This book contains language, violence, and suggestive themes, as well as references to child abuse, sexual assault, sexual slavery, and alcoholism.

After the death of their abusive patriarch, sixteen-year-old Desiree "Dez" Sarpe and her family moved to the high plains of Wyoming for a fresh start. Life is quieter now, but peace doesn't put food on the table. Unable to get a job, Dez reluctantly stays home—before following a track in the long grass and finding Granny Iyaga. 
 
 
 
Granny hires Dez for housecleaning, and also begins teaching her peculiar things. School starts, winter approaches, and for the first time, Dez begins to relax. 
 
 
 
But there are dangers other than lightning and rattlesnakes out on the plains, and one has targeted the Sarpes. Dez has learned a thing or two about protecting her family . . . 
 
 
 
. . . but it might not be enough.
