Eye of the Sh*t Storm Jackson Ford (detective books to read txt) 📖

want to think what Amira would do if she found out. Explode, probably. Because if there’s someone under me and I hit them from above, it’s not just a broken ankle I’m looking at.

Time seems frozen. I flick my eyes towards the Level 5 catwalk rushing towards me.

It’s empty. Not a person in sight, not even further along. I pull my legs up, lift my arms and brace for the landing.

Contact. The noise returns, a bang that snaps my head back even as I’m rolling forwards. On instinct, I twist sideways, so the impact can travel across, rather than up, my spine. My right hand hits the ground, the sharp edges of the steel bevelling scraping my palm, and I push upwards, arching my back so my pack can fit into the roll.

Then I’m up and running, heading for the dark catwalk exit on the far side. I can hear the Lieren reach the catwalk above. They’ve spotted me, but I can tell by their angry howls that it’s too late. There’s no way they’re making that jump. To get to where I am, they’ll have to fight their way through the stairwells on the far side. By then, I’ll be long gone.

“Never try to outrun a Devil Dancer, boys,” I mutter between breaths.

Praise for The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mind

“Furious, frenetic, fun, and ‘f**k you’: All equally valid descriptions of this book and its punk rock chef / psychic warrior protagonist. It’s like the X-Men, if everybody was sick of each other’s sh*t, they had to work manual labor to pay rent, and Professor X was a sociopathic government stooge. A drunken back-alley brawler of a book.”

—Robert Brockway, author of The Unnoticeables

“Like Alias meets X-Men. I loved it.”

—Maria Lewis

“Ford’s debut holds nothing back, delivering a sense of absurd fun and high-speed thrills that more than lives up to that amazing title.”

—B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

“Teagan is a frank and funny narrator for this wild ride, which starts off with our heroine falling from the 82nd floor of a skyscraper and pretty much never slows down.… A fast-paced, high-adrenaline tale that manages to get into some dark themes without losing its sense of fun.”

—Kirkus

“Ford’s breakneck pace keeps the tension high, and the thrills coming the whole way through.”

“A fantastic follow-up.… Readers who enjoyed Teagan’s first brush with disaster will be thrilled to see her pushed beyond her limits in this winning sequel.”

—Publishers Weekly

“This second book about psychokinetic superspy Teagan is even more suspenseful than The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mind (2019). The stakes couldn’t be higher.… The suspense, the danger, and the rocket-fueled pace are all turned up to 11 in this more-than-satisfying sequel.”

—Kirkus

“This smart, action-packed novel is tighter than its predecessor, and Ford injects just enough exposition that new readers will be able to pick up here. Readers will be back for the next entry.”
