Mystery and Suspense!

Sequel to Jane Casey's How to Fall


Jess Tennant has now been living in a tiny town on the English seaside for 3 months, and is just beginning to relax and think of it as home after a traumatic summer.

 But on Halloween night,  Seb Dawson is left for dead by the side of the road with a serious head injury. 

Jess might not have liked Seb much, but surely he didn't deserve this. The police don't seem to be taking the attack very seriously, but Jess can't just let it go, and she takes matters into her own hands. 

As she investigates, Jess discovers that Seb was involved in some very dangerous games. A secret predator around girls, he would do whatever it took to abuse them...lying,blackmail, and even spiking drinks. 

Could a group of vengeful victims be behind his attack? Or is there someone else with a grudge against Seb, who will stop at nothing to silence him?

Get ready for a wild ride!



Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics.

But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his wills.

Nobody fights the Epics... nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them.
 

David wants in. He wants Steelheart—the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father. For years, like the Reckoners, David's been studying, and planning and he has something they need. Not an object, but an experience.

He's seen Steelheart bleed and he wants revenge.

Trust no one!


"Tracks are Maps," Dad would say.
"Study them as if your life depends on it."

Then he'd pause.

"It might, you know."

take a breath, every detail of every book he's ever read and Luke knows enough-just enough- about what his father does as a black ops infiltrator. When his Dad goes missing, Luke realizes that life will always be different and he must decide who to trust as he creates his own destiny.
