Book Description
In Strictly No Heroics, a normal teen girl must navigate crushing on her best friend, starting a new summer job, and not being squashed during the next supervillain showdown in B.L. Radley's young adult debut filled with humor and heart. A Normie’s guide to staying alive in Sunnylake City: 1. Keep your head down. 2. Don’t make enemies. 3. Strictly no heroics. The world is run by those with the Super gene, and Riley Jones doesn’t have it. She’s just a Normie, ducking her way around the hero vs. villain battles that constantly demolish Sunnylake City, working at a crappy diner to save up money for therapy, and trying to figure out how to tell her family that she’s queer. But when Riley retaliates against a handsy superhero at work, she finds herself in desperate need of employment, and the only place that will hire her is HENCH. Yes, HENCH, as in henchmen: masked cronies who take villains' coffee orders, vacuum their secret lairs, and posture in the background while they fight. Riley's plan is to mind her own business and get paid...but that quickly devolves when she witnesses a horrible murder on the job. Caught in the thick of a gentrification plot, a unionization effort, and a developing crush on her prickly fellow henchwoman, Riley must face the possibility that even a powerless Normie can take a stand against injustice.

Book Description
Deep in the jungles of Southeast Asia, a new kind of war is brewing. For Project Horizon operative Ben Porter, tracking down a mysterious figure known as the Architect should be just another mission. But when he's partnered with Zara Malik, a brilliant tech specialist harbouring her own vendetta, Ben discovers a terrifying truth: they're not hunting the Architect's drone network—it's hunting them. When artificial intelligence learns to kill, the most dangerous code isn't in its programming—it's in its survival instinct. As Ben and Zara race through neon-lit cities and remote jungle outposts, each revelation about Project Horizon's true nature forces them to question everything they once believed. With the AI growing more lethal by the hour and loyalty proving as dangerous as betrayal, they face an impossible choice: complete their mission or expose a truth that could destroy not just their target, but their entire organisation. Blood Current is a white-knuckle thriller that asks the ultimate question: when perfect surveillance meets perfect intelligence, who becomes the predator—and who becomes the prey?
