Praise for Unleashed

"Discovering who you are requires courage, and taking a chance on love risks more than just your heart. In Unleashed, Amber Kirkpatrick has crafted a superhero novel with romance, humor, tears, and (of course) Fen's ever-present coffee. More Fen and Sara, please?"

-CATHY McCRUMB, bestselling author of The Children of the Consortium series

"Unleashed is a fun, action-packed adventure story, about love lost and rekindled, hackers, killers, hidden powers, and discovering the power of true love to change even the coldest of hearts. Unleashed will have you fall in love with Sara and Fenris and rooting for them every step of the way, and Kirkpatrick's delightful cast of characters will stay with you long after you close the book!"

-CANDACE KADE, bestselling author of Enhanced

"Unleashed is a powerful novel penned with memorable prose and witty banter. With scenes of humor and heartbreak, Kirkpatrick delivers a story with relatable characters you'll want to remember for years to come."

-V. ROMAS BURTON, award-winning, bestselling author of the Heartmaker Trilogy

"I laughed so hard I snorted in parts. Then I nearly sobbed in others. For readers who love all the swoon, the super-human element, the heartbreak, the high stakes, the coffee, and echoes of heroism from a lost age, Unleashed delivers."

-AJ SKELLY, bestselling author of The Wolves of Rock Falls series, and Of Flame and Frost.

"With the perfect blend of snark and swoon, Kirkpatrick's take on the superhuman genre is refreshingly funny with a whopping shot of save-the-world and my goodness, never have sparks between characters been so seriously real. The off-the-charts romantic chemistry is beyond perfect, while realistic stakes in a near-future world seriously imagine the daunting impact of mutant abilities and how those with powers carve out their lives and protect each other. With a dose of dark roast sarcasm and signature notes of love that defies all the odds, Fen & Co. deserve their own coffee company and need to give desperate readers like me a sequel, like yesterday."

-BRITTANY EDEN, bestselling author of Wishes and Hearts
