Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan. Kronos’ army approaches New York, but the Olympian gods are in a life-or-death battle against the monstrous Typhon, their most powerful enemy. Only Percy and his fellow half-bloods stand between Kronos and the hidden entrance to Olympus, and their most powerful fighters, the children of Ares, are out of action. Can Kronos’ evil plans be stopped, or will the Titan manage to destroy Olympus – and in so doing, bring about the fall of civilization?
Trail by Fire by J. A. Jance. They call Sister Anselm “the Angel of Death” for her tireless work helping unidentified patients. For the woman pulled naked and barely breathing from a fire set by a killer, she is an angel of mercy. But when the woman’s would-be killer discovers that Sister Anselm is trying to identify his barely-alive victim, Sister Anselm becomes his next target.
