After Janie's parents die, she's sent to live with the Rochester family in San Francisco. Excessive wealth can't mask the many disturbances in the family, and Janie exposes new secrets at every turn. Financial corruption, mental illness, crime, and a misunderstood ghost contribute to this Jane Eyre retelling that is rich in details borrowed from Brontë but is never as subtle or emotionally taut.

Noa finds herself on the run after she wakes up alone on an operating table. Desperate for cash, she agrees to help Peter, a fellow computer "hacktivist," research the shady organization that's threatening his family and uncovers a conspiracy that could destroy them both. Fast-paced and full of slow-building tension, this tech-thriller is a solid entry in the genre.
