  The new powerhouse team of Douglas Preston & The new powerhouse team of Douglas Preston & Aletheia Preston are joining together to "enter the world" of the New York Times bestselling Extinction. One of the holiest relics in Christendom, inexplicably defaced… A paranoid old prospector, ritualistically murdered… A controversial exobiologist, tortured and dismembered… When a reclusive man is found dead under grisly circumstances in the Colorado wilderness, CBI Agent Frankie Cash and Eagle County Sheriff Jim Colcord, whom we met in the New York Times bestseller, Extinction, team up again on their most enigmatic and dangerous case yet. Their investigation uncovers a trail of bizarre killings, baffling money transfers, and a fanatical secret society.

  Kirill "The Shark" Khitrenko is sent to retrieve a dead journalist’s evidence file that threatens to destroy his family. His target is the journalist’s daughter, Jordan Thorne, a struggling wellness influencer who hides from the world’s messy truths behind a wall of positive affirmations. When his interrogation tactics fail, Kirill drags her into his violent world, only to discover her "energetic instincts" are a form of perception so sharp it could get them both killed—or save them.

My Review Jordan and Kirill find themselves in a danger situation. Jordan is thrust into Kirill's protection in the form of a forced proximity situation. Despite her situation, Jordan does show strength. She might...

  A Griffin’s wings will only take them part way. Hope has a price and it’s never paid by the people who promise it. Before he was Player 197, he was just an ignominious son, discarded and burdened with an impossible task. A prince without a country. A weapon without a choice. A griffin without wings. The Masquerade is over. But the games are not. Raven has escaped, but at what cost? Torn from her Sparrow and ripped from her first love, Raven is taken far from Violencia to a different country entirely. Here, she isn’t a victor or a weapon. She’s cherished. Protected. Controlled. Watched. They tell her she’s lucky. That she’s safe. That she belongs to them now. But something is wrong. There are no women in the streets. No mothers. No children. Only hollow reverence and unanswered questions. The longer Raven stays, the more she realizes this place doesn’t save women like her… It collects them. My Review What a wild ride. After the events of books one and two, I thought Raven would ge...
