AFTER SHOCK
[image error]
You asked for more Lucy, you got it! Lucy’s back in a new high-octane story, AFTER SHOCK:
(New to Lucy? AFTER SHOCK is a great place to start!)
As head of the FBI’s Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Squad, agent Lucy Guardino has made a name for herself bringing the lowest of lowlifes to justice: rapists, serial killers, pedophiles—she’s faced them all down with her signature grit and determination.
Today is different for Lucy. Because the man who has taken her prisoner has promised Lucy three things: that before this day is over, she will be dead; that someone in her family will also die; and that he always wins.
Trapped inside her worst nightmare, Lucy faces a ruthless killer as he plays Russian roulette with the lives of those she loves. Wounded and unarmed, how can Lucy defeat a psychopath who doesn’t play by any rules?
AFTER SHOCK is a heart-pounding, lightning-paced thrill ride that will leave readers breathless as they root for the ultimate superheroine next door.

WOULD YOU PUT YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE TO BE NORMAL?
Diagnosed with a rare and untreatable heart condition, Scarlet has come to terms with the fact that she’s going to die. Literally of a broken heart. It could be tomorrow, or it could be next year. But the clock is ticking…
All Scarlet asks is for a chance to attend high school—even if just for a week-a chance to be just like everyone else. But Scarlet can feel her heart beating out of control with each slammed locker and vicious taunt. Is this normal? Really? Yet there’s more going on than she knows. And finding out the truth might just kill Scarlet before her heart does…
A “suspenseful thriller laced with medical intrigue and coming-of-age triumph.” ~Booklist
