As the newest member to an established team of X-men-like
superheroes called the Ranger Corps, Dahlia "Ember" Perkins
is slowly acclimating to her new duties and powers. She
possesses a unique ability to manipulate fire, or more
specifically, the heat it gives off. However, honing her
powers has become a difficult task when the Meta War isn't
willing to wait on her.
Death takes precedence and the team's first freelance
assignment involves an uncanny case where two human husks
are discovered. Bones, blood and organs are nowhere to be
found. Only the skin is left. It's as if the victim's
insides simply dissolved. One of these bodies is a John Doe
while the other is identified as a janitor from
Weatherfield R&D, a scientific research and development
company. Interestingly enough, Dahlia has past
interests in this firm when she was a struggling newspaper
journalist. With renewed effort, Dahlia gets right down to
business with this investigation. Yet there seems to be
much more than meets the eye when another husk turns up and
a fellow team member is injured. This sense of urgency
pulls the plot forward, making the pages fly by so quickly!
Kelly Meding crafts an intricate plot that is sure to keep
you guessing. Just when you think you know what will
happen, Meding shocks you with a premeditated move you
didn't see coming. She managed to pull several twists on me
and I'm still reeling!
CHANGELING is an entertaining urban fantasy with an
interesting storyline, compelling characters and an
alluring world. If you're looking for a book that will take
you for a ride and shock you, then look no further.
CHANGELING is
it. I barely had a chance to catch my breath between
chapters.
After barely escaping a madman’s attempt to annihilate all
MetaHumans, Kelly Meding’s supernatural crime fighters have
banded together to take back the streets of war-ravaged Los
Angeles.Dahlia “Ember” Perkins still feels like an outsider
among her new Meta friends, despite everything she’s been
through since coming into her miraculous ability to absorb
heat and extinguish fires. But when the police need help
investigating human skins discarded like slipcovers on the
street, the Metas’ youngest team member quickly finds her
place.
Evidence points to a murderer the likes of which they have
never encountered but who inexplicably seems to be gunning
for Dahlia—and who may be neither human nor Meta. After a
bullet meant for her nearly kills one of her teammates,
Dahlia uncovers a connection to the crimes buried deep in
her past. As the danger escalates and her personal life
falls apart, Dahlia soon learns there’s no such thing as a
“normal” relationship when you’re a superhero. . . .
