Brightness Falls
Summary
Brightness Falls isn't just the name of the TV show that womanizing man-child Andrew Ware has been painstakingly creating for the last couple years, it's also his hometown. A town that he loves as much as he hates. By request of no one, Andrew returns home to help his sister separate from her husband, only to become sidetracked by a beautiful woman. A few drinks and few compliments later the woman is dead, killed in a tragic oral sex accident. In which Andrew would have lost his own life if it weren’t for the dapperly dressed, antler-headed, human skeleton named Doug. Who loves Andrew’s work, but escaped The Other Side to warn Andrew of a self-proclaimed god with desires to return to Brightness Falls. Wow, that is a lot to take in. That above paragraph is jammed packed with a lot of crap. Thou the oral sex accident sounds interesting, doesn't it? Let's take the whole thing down a notch. Let's try it again, please... With the town’s annual festival, Brightfest, which commemorates the deadly day it's population collectively walked to the bottom of the lake, only days away, and the threat of an inadvertently bloodthirsty, self-proclaimed god returning to reenact the event, Andrew is sent scrambling to save his sister, friends, lovers, and the town he’s loathed in, before the god is able to complete his predestined experiment to bringing his wife back. If Andrew can get out of his own way to unravel the towns dark secrets, as well as his own, maybe he’ll come out of it with a new TV show idea. Oh and save the town. Well f--k, that wasn't much better. Still, a lot going on in that paragraph, too. Here let me try... This is the story of a man who loves women, hates his home town, and has to goes through a shit tone of shit for both of them. Oh and someone dies during oral sex, can't leave that out. Boom nailed it! Best book description ever - Your Mom

The Axe
Summary
Time doesn’t work the way you think it does. The year 2018: After a successful social-justice hack and a sexy night of celebrating, Micah arrives home to a gift left outside his apartment door. An axe that when touched causes Micah to lose time and allow other people to use his body. After one such event, Micah returns to his body, covered in blood and holding the axe, with police knocking on the door. Micah has to use his hacker skills to evade the police and a corporation hellbent on controlling the axe, all while unraveling the secrets of the gift. The year 1810: In the woods of Western Canada, something is stalking and devouring people. Entire settlements have been abandoned, the residents missing. The people refer to the monsters as demons. Mehall, a demon-hunting nomad, has returned home, leaving a trail of dead demons behind her. By her hands and her tomahawk, she continues killing the creatures even as she begins having visions from the future. The year 3015: The Circle, an oppressive governing religion, is trying to insight an AI genocide while also releasing a plague on the universe to control its people. Life is as normal as it can be for Miko, a social outcast and data broker. While on a routine data delivery gone bad, Miko is chased to the galaxies edge, where she is confronted by a mysterious ship that leads Miko on a mission to stop the Circle itself. All three lives are more interconnected than they know. One thing wants them all dead: the Infection. One thing binds them all together: the axe.
