Onslaught 1 by Dele Andersen
Some Vitrian children have been identified as children with special gifts and this has brought about the wrath of an evil force that is determined to wipe the gift and prophecy away.
Onslaught 1 explains the saga around the children and Wanda Troms’ life when the thriller and mystery started almost fifteen years ago. It is a prequel to The Healing Méndez, and it recaps the mayhem around the paranormal and love-stricken life that Wanda Troms and a lot of the Vitrian children had to face. They have been identified as children who have the gift of The Chosen and now their parents must do all in their power to protect them. But can anyone protect them from the evil that is about to be unleashed on them.
Onslaught 1 describes the ordeal that the Vitrian children and their parents had to go through just so they can ensure the children survived. Who would survive and how far would a mother or father go to save their child?
Webs by Lily Stuart
Webs opens with teenager, LILY, facing a gun just before it is fired at her. The story then picks up with her attacker’s account of the events leading on from this and LILY’S diary recounting events leading up to it, starting three months earlier. The two narratives gradually converge.
Alongside her own life and problems – her best friend MELEZZ, and her unreliability, her arch-rival for heartthrob, MATT’S, attentions – JAS, and her bitchery, and school with its academic impossibilities and ridiculous characters, Lily’s irreverent teenager’s diary tells of her mother’s foray into the world of internet dating and how it leads LILY to uncover a murderer. Told in turn by LILY and the anonymous murderer – her attacker from the opening scene, their combined story examines different perceptions of love, obsession and relationships, and between them they tell the story of The Russian roulette murder.
