Jen Hunter is not your average bank robber, not after she's betrayed by her friend Chris Cannon. After a chance rooftop encounter she seemingly develops super powers, strength, agility, flying and she starts to make a dent in the criminal organization known as Big Crime. English tourist Sarah Sixpence finally meets her pen pal Choi Mei in Hong Kong. The two young women quickly get involved in a series of strange events each of which sees Mei infused with new powers and a new tattoo on her skin, that can move about it at will. Mei and Sarah discover that Mei is fated to accumulate all the legendary powers of the zodiac animals and become a great super hero. Sarah develops powers of her own along the way, and the two of them move to Mei's uncle's academy to train themselves in kung fu. Back in London Jen is assigned a teacher to instruct her in the way of morality and restraint. Only one candidate is found, Varya Koshmara, who is later revealed to be the legendary warrior Malice Latimer!

Only Violet can stop them, which has everyone worried, as Violet was once voted droid most likely to be arrested for stealing everything not nailed down. Violet has two really good ideas, hide all the robots on the planet Hendrax at her friend Hannah's new castle there, and then take the war to the Raithaduine before they can destroy planet earth. What can possibly go wrong? Penny Dreadful is a new vampire of the Gemini tribe, specifically the Gothic faction. She has no memories of her past life, which is part of the deal. She must deal with the usual teenage dramas, plus a small but vocal group of humans who want to kill all vampires. Then there's the Glam, the other faction of vampires that are trying to set her up, so it looks like she attacked them...

R to L (Japanese Style) Boasting furious action, switchback plotting, magnetic characters and dazzling art, Dogs tells the story of four individuals struggling to survive a dystopian urban future by gun and sword and courage and luck. Haine, the “Stray Dog”: a cipher of a young man with a mysterious metal collar bolted to his neck and a disturbing talent for mayhem. Badou: a hired gun for petty jobs legal and non, whose reckless façade hides a serious intent. Naoto: a preternaturally skilled swordswoman searching for the assassin who cut down her family and mentor. Mihai: a middle-aged former hitman, trying live a quiet life but haunted by the deaths of his lover and protégé. Driven by their ghosts—both dead and alive—and a desire for truth, all are inexorably drawn to the “Underground,” the dark and dangerous sector below the city that holds all the secrets—but secrets that can only be had for a price.

They're sixteen, and they are . . . fine. Scarlett comes home and finds a mom she barely recognizes, and doesn't really recognize the person she's supposed to be, either. But she thinks she remembers Lucas. Lucas remembers Scarlett, too, except they're entirely unable to recall where they've been or what happened to them. Neither of them remember the sixth victim, Max--the only one who hasn't come back. Which leaves Max's sister, Avery, wanting answers. She wants to find her brother--dead or alive--and isn't buying this whole memory-loss story. But as details of the disappearance begin to unfold, no one is prepared for the truth. This unforgettable novel--with its rich characters, high stakes, and plot twists--will leave readers breathless.
