"The government taskmasters aren’t playing nice. (Do they ever?)
Name’s Jess. The superhero version is called Just Jess, but I feel like Desperate Jess is a better moniker.
My to-do list grew exponentially. (Translation: In addition to my normal duties of reviewing superpowers, I have to find a cure for my sister, solve two power puzzles, and work with Mayor Shady Pants’s misfit crew of Supers.)
Saving my sister may involve defying the government overlords and that’s not healthy for other people in my life.
If I don’t pull off several miracles, my sister may only be the first of many casualties."
"After centuries of secrecy, superpowers just went public.
(Um. Yay?)
Name’s Jess, but my official superhero name is just Jess. (Just as in justice according to one yappy reporter.)
Because I have multiple Gifts, I get to be the poster child for superpowers. Lucky me. (Translation: I get to deal with suited ninnies in stuffy boardrooms, a big fat target on my back, and would-be supervillains who keep popping up like dandelions.)
Chasing down bad guys might keep me out of the boardroom (always a plus), but the government head games threaten my sanity and my family.
If I don’t win battles in and out of the boardroom, the shine on my public image will be the least of my concerns."
"Cassandra’s a spy-in-training.
(But is she also a killer?)
To pass the next training phase, Cassandra must kill a certain target, but the line between friend and foe quickly blurs.
Season 3: Hawk’s crazy plan to sell Cas to the target goes well … until he betrays her. Now, she has one slim chance to save her career and her life. She must survive as a rabbit.
Season 4: Cassandra’s rabbit training gets interrupted by a new threat. Captured again, Cas has some hard decisions to make, starting with which role she wants: Hero or Hostage.
Survival could require sacrifice."
"Get kidnapped by government thugs. Check.
(Guess that’s off my bucket list.)
Name’s Jess, and I have superpowers. A lot of them. You’d think that would make life easier. Wrong. Dead wrong.
Having many superpowers landed me my first job out of college. (Translation: The government sent suited sweet-talkers with a carrot-and-stick approach to kidnap me and set me to reviewing superpowers.)
Job Pros: Reviewing powers pays well, and my family stays off the scary people’s list of things-to-kill-today.
Job Cons: It comes with a billion strings attached and a side serving of life-and-death situations.
If I don’t beat the government at their own game, I’ll die. Worse, I’ll probably take my family down with me. This whole situation is giving me some Grade A trust issues."
"Cassandra’s a Ghost. (Spy Ghost, not spooky ghost).
Her parents are spies. To save her from one of their enemies, they gave her to the Ghost Agent Initiative. Thus, the government became her mother, father, and guardian.
Now, it’s ready to be her teacher as well.
Cassandra is happy to learn the survival skills, but she’s less thrilled with the idea of becoming a killer.
Season 1: When a routine training mission goes awry, Cassandra’s sent into the program’s capstone course for safekeeping. The program director has different plans.
Season 2: Several training missions stretch Cassandra’s body, mind, and morals. The director’s plans go very wrong, and his only way out is to place the blame on her.
Dead people tell no tales."
"Blessed by God. Hunted by Satan.
Guardian Angel candidates Allister and Mina share a Kindred Spirit Bond. It makes them powerful.
It also makes them a target.
Satan’s top lieutenants have a new toy to play with: Spirit’s Bane. They seek to use the pendant to control the Kindred Spirit pair. If they succeed, angels will fall, demons will rise, and the battle for human souls will tip toward evil.
Allister and Mina are willing to fight the demons, but what will it cost them? And what happens in Heaven and on Earth if they fail?
***
This duology contains both Spirit’s Bane and Kindred Spirits. They are available as individual audiobooks narrated by Reuben Corbett and will make their way to a combination audio soon. The stories are Christian fantasy written in a style reminiscent of C.S. Lewis’s Screwtape Letters."

"Victory comes at a price.
Exiled to Earth, Mina bears the weapon she stole from Satan, preventing him from destroying the angels of light. Despite this, Spirit’s Bane weakens her with pain when she uses her Gifts to protect those under her care.
Meanwhile, the Council of Light confines Allister to the Heavens. They fear what Satan will do if he captures the Kindred Spirit Pair. Allister knows they are stronger together, but even if he defies the Council by going to Earth, there’s no guarantee he’ll reach Mina before Satan’s minions.
If Allister and Mina cannot defeat Spirit’s Bane swiftly, precious souls will be lost in the coming conflict.

This book can be read alone, but it would probably be much more powerful (and sensible) if read after Guardian Angel Files Book 1: Spirit's Bane. The series is written in a style reminiscent of C.S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters. The series is available as ebooks, paperbacks, or audiobooks performed by Reuben Corbett."
"He has a goal and a plan.
If he carries through with the plan, his sister will die first. His ex will die next, and he will die last.
In between, he’ll take out as many people as he can. Students. Security guards. Teachers. First responders.
They are all fair game.
Who will live, and who will die? How will those who live go on when their world is shattered by unthinkable tragedy?
***
Given the subject matter, not exactly my cheeriest title but it was a story that needed to be told. If you are a student, teacher, parent, security guard, first responder, or other interested party, welcome. Thanks for listening."

Victoria Saveron and her friends embark on a desperate journey to warn the Saroth of the cult's plan. Along the way, they come across an entire village of refugees. They want to protect the refugees, but thousands more will die if they fail to stop the holy war.

"The Kindred Spirit Bond makes them powerful … Lucifer has noticed.
As with all young angels on the Guardian path, Allister and Mina undertake a wide variety of missions to discover their Gifts.
Meanwhile, Satan and his top lieutenants have a new secret weapon to test, so they set a trap for the pair.
Now, the Guardian Angel candidates need protection. If Spirit’s Bane successfully destroys the angels of light, the last line of defense between humans and demons will disappear.
