Rogue Assassin
by Julie Embleton
Find this book at these online bookstores, OR buy straight from the author’s website.
She knew the real him, the real Joe, not Dr Richard Krieger’s son, not Mutant Brain, or Spawn of Dr Mutant, just Joe…
The opening chapters introduce the two main characters, Joe and Leven, six years prior to the present-day storyline. Joe and Leven might be teenagers, but they are far from average. Joe, a Supernatural Breed (SB), hides his status behind a human façade. Leven—or to be more precise, eleven-oh-one-seventeen—is an SBA: a Supernatural Breed Assassin designed in a lab to hunt and kill SBs. She is kept behind a locked door at Newlands house, a facility where Joe’s father, a doctor, is involved with creating SBAs.
Themes played out over the course of this book include: living (surviving) in a bigoted society, genetic-engineering ethics, discovering self-worth, deep friendships, and love.

A broken heart and a bit of booze make “sinning” that much easier.
