Sea Change by Susan Fletcher

Sea Change by Susan Fletcher

This is a coming of age story in the age of genetic manipulation.  Turtle was born differently by illegal genetic manipulation by her parents.   She is part of a community of different young people who have been  abandoned by their parents. The story deals with her attempted reintegration with her family.

Turtle meets Kai in a diving accident when both are scavenging.  The scene is set in a future where global warming is inundating low islands and coastlines.  Turtle has many longings, some for family and some for love.

You meet her friends and frenemies. Some are born differently, and some are normal.  The parental urge to provide their children a step above the competition leads to illegal genetic manipulations and some sad results.

The book has some romance but nothing graphic so it is suitable for younger readers.

I enjoyed it and recommend it.

This is an interesting look at our future.

Fleet Landing by Wendy Gee

First of all, Fleet Landing is a neighborhood.  It sounds like a military thing but it is about firefighters, criminal urbanization, greed, street gangs, racism, and injustice.

Sydney Quinn, an on-air, intrepid television reporter, finds an unexpected ally in ATF Agent Cooper Bellamy. Together, Coop and Sydney tackle the incessant fires in Fleet Landing, only to discover that layers of deceit and corruption are fueling the fires.

There is plenty of action and some romance in this book.

The Face of Greed by James L'Etoile #1

This mystery remains a mystery throughout the story.  That may seem to be self-evident, but many mysteries are easily solvable well before the conclusion of the story. Emily and Javier are assigned a murder that, at first, seemed explainable.  As the investigation continued, the complexity ballooned.

A major, behind-the-scenes, financial influencer is found dead, and the political wagons are circling.  The victim’s socialite wife, with a serious attitude, calls upon her bosom buddy, the mayor, to circumvent the investigation. 

Emily and Javier chase down the leads and discover perfidy, treachery, and serial infidelity.  

The book has loads of action and is an exciting read.

I recommend it.
