Cybershock: Ghost in the Machine, Gridlock, Zero Factor

We have seen the future, and it’s armed and dangerous.   Ghost in the Machine by Barbara J. Hancock We followed the rules, just like our parents taught us, but the Sweepers have taken my little brother. Then I meet him. He claims to be a rogue who can help me find my brother. Never talk to Shadows. But no one ever told me what would happen if I kissed one.   Zero Factor by Stacy Gail A premonition forces Via to reveal her carefully hidden psychic ability to the last man she should trust—a meched-out militia man who inexplicably makes her heart pound. Via’s sensual kiss sets fire to every one of Locke’s remaining man-nerves. He needs her, as a man, and to find out who wants him dead.   Gridlock by Nathalie Gray Years have passed since Dante escaped the “foster care” that turned him into a killing machine, but the scars are still fresh.   When a job goes bad, Steel finds herself taken to the notorious Cardinal’s secret lair, which is filled with forbidden pre-Grid knowledge. Something about Steel calls to Dante, but trusting her could wipe out years of waiting for his one chance at revenge.   Warning: This book may cause fantasies of forbidden kisses from dark heroes. Contains violence, offensive language, several variants of the F-word, machines behaving badly, and buns of steel (literally). Authors are not responsible for locked-and-loaded hunks taking your dreams by force.
