From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Deadly
Genesis (Boomers, #2) . . .
X-men with some serious romance,
high impact action, richly involved plot, diabolical foray into the past to
correct the future. My first read of the series and I am beating myself up for
just hearing about this one. I love superheroes. I love superheroes with a real
life along with the save the world mentality. But this time I get me a hero
that has been damaged, Corkscrew, and another one, Soothsayer, must go in and
help manage the possible self-destruction going on inside.
Corkscrew was put through the
ultimate of experiments and more. To come out of it alive and still fighting to
regain a slither of what was had before was painful. The agony. The battle. The
confusion.
Soothsayer’s hand was full. Trying
to keep Corkscrew from damaging more than just those around but keep self-safe,
friends safe, and figuring out the enemy, while at the same time not falling in
love.
There was a perfect mix of sci-fi
and paranormal boosting this romance to a different place and time. Romance
lovers that love sci-fi and/or paranormal will get all they want and more here.
There was a solidly built world. That was filled with intrigue, suspense,
betrayal, captivity, and romance.
Stamp of approval. Where’s the next
installment?

Kidnapped and experimented on by
R.E.X. labs, Amanda's memories are foggy. She can't recognize friend from foe
and she strikes out with everything she has. Only one man penetrates the storms
surging in her mind, a soothing stranger with hypnotic eyes…
Simon Masters
Codename: Soothsayer
Abilities: telepath
Mission: save Corkscrew or terminate her
Cautious, methodical Simon has always
been careful to keep his innermost self, contained. Simon must confront his fears—and his deepest
secrets—to help the powerful mutant rein in her abilities in.
With new enemies closing in and dark
revelations unfolding, the Boomers face their greatest challenge yet and the
deeper into her psyche Simon pushes, the more her madness threatens them all…
Winning never felt so much like
losing. The team has recovered
Corkscrew, but she is lost to insanity. Simon, the most cautious of them all,
must risk everything to bring her back from the brink, but losing this gambit
could cost them Simon as well.

Simon Masters opened
the front door with a push of his hand and the house shuddered. Glass trickled
down from the chandelier hanging over the foyer in a tinkling shower of
shattering pieces. Plaster dust floated in the air like snowflakes. Doctor Ilsa
Blaine slid around the corner from the kitchen, blood trickling from a cut on
her forehead.
Every cell in his
body went on alert. He shut the door with a thump and strode across the
hallway, adjusting his balance for the next shattering quake shaking the room.
"What happened, Doctor?"
"The sedatives
aren't keeping her down anymore." Ilsa flinched as another shatter echoed
from the kitchen. Simon caught her arm, steadying her. Images flashed through
his mind in rapid succession, despite his gloves and her lab coat. Her anxiety
levels were too high to keep them out. He shored up his shields and tried to
sort through the massive influx of data.
Amanda Kincaid, also
known as Rory's teammate Corkscrew, was awake. They’d rescued her a month ago
from a research facility, but Ilsa's attempts to correct the damage done by a
faulty chip in her brain continued to fail. Winning never felt so much like
losing.
"Where are the
others?"
The house shook and a
splinter appeared in the doorframe. A shout of alarm echoed from upstairs.
Simon canted his head back. Sweeping the house, he identified five awake
minds—none Boomers or Rory's teammates. Fear seemed prevalent in the thoughts
of four—but the fifth remained apathetic. Downstairs, however, Amanda's
thoughts were a cyclone of pain, confusion, frustration, and rapidly escalating
fury.
"Rory called in.
She needed backup—” But Simon didn't hear the rest of the explanation. Amanda's
chaotic thoughts grew more agitated. Setting Ilsa against the door frame, he
gave her a quick glance.
Stay here. If the
wood splinters further, get out. He embedded the command in her mind and dodged
the falling debris in the kitchen. Since her rescue, Corkscrew's behavior grew
more and more erratic. She lashed out, attacking anyone she didn't know and,
unfortunately, even some she did. Rory could talk her down, Rex could contain
her and Drake could take her hits—but none of those three were present. Ilsa
had made the difficult decision to put her into a medically induced coma while
her brain healed.
But that didn't seem
to be working anymore.
The laboratory
downstairs contained the latest equipment, and they’d expanded it for Ilsa's
research. The Hamptons mansion doubled as their medical facility since Ilsa
joined their quest for answers. Her relationship with Garrett Fox and the peace
she brought him aside, she was an invaluable member. Her knowledge of
neuroscience and the workings of their bio-mechanical chips continued to
provide them with data crucial to the completion of their mission.
Saving the future.
