Justice #2
Brute Justice
The sequel to Invisible Justice. Clint, Lexi, Sam and Leesha continue searching for answers regarding their super powers and the doctor who created them. Clint's painful flashes are leaving him with brute strength. He's the fourth in the group to realize his powers. Sam's heightened senses, Lexi's invisibility and Leesha's telekinesis round out the team searching for the doctor who did this.
The burning fire and resulting abilities leave them with a number of questions only one man can answer. Dr. Carl Blevins is the evil genius behind their powers, but approaching him may be somewhat treacherous. They've already rescued a mother and daughter that Blevins ordered kidnapped, then watched him kill the bumbling kidnappers in cold blood. The fact that the man has reinvented himself with a new name, face and business leads them to believe he is not yet ready to be discovered.
While they search for more clues to their identity, they find Jade, another teenager just like them. She shares the same birthday, and has gone through the painful transformation process, but has no evidence of an ability. Just one more mystery the team will have to solve as they work their way towards the answers they seek.

About the author
Kim Jewell
7 books32 followersI'm a marketing executive and have worked in advertising, marketing and public relations for over fifteen years now - both at the corporate level and also in the agency arena. It has always been a goal of mine to take my writing skills from press releases and ad copy to another level - novel work. My first novel, Invisible Justice, was inspired by a dream in early 2009 and was completed that summer. Brute Justice is the second book in this YA series. Likened by readers to X-Men and Heroes, the Justice series is a contemporary take on teenage superheroes.
After a bit of prodding, I took a break from the Justice series to start a darker young adult novel entitled Misery's Fire, a storyline my husband dreamt one night and passed along to me. Misery's Fire is a crime thriller detailing the life and death of Grant Williams and his subsequent experience in Hell. When his demon caseworker, Angelo, couldn't break his spirit, he exacted his revenge by sending Grant back to the fiery pits of high school. He finds himself in a new - and much younger body - with nothing but a backpack and a school uniform. Grant must learn to survive not only life on his own, but also the horrors of high school - cliques and chicks included.
The storyline covers some heavy topics for teens - gangs, drugs, bullying, violence and death. While the topics are dark, the story is delivered with a sarcastic wit that creates a lighter tone and allows the reader to emotionally connect with the main character, despite his transgressions.
My day job... I am the Director of Development for a regional law firm in Indiana where I oversee the business development and marketing campaigns. My responsibilities include managing the public relations efforts, corporate identity, web site, advertising and external communications, client entertainment and special events, contributions and sponsorships, and market research for our firm's six offices.

It took me all of five minutes after reading book one, "Invisible Justice" to buy this sequel! While I was completely drawn into the first story, I found this installment even more compelling. We learn more about each character, meet some new, and experience great plot twists and turns. I envy the author the ability to manage such a large cast of characters and events without confusing or overwhelming the reader. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long for the next one!

I love my Kindle because it has allowed me to discover new authors. The sequel to Kim Jewell's Invisible Justice keeps up a decent pace as Lexi, Sam, Leesha, and Clint continue to seek answers regarding their super powers. These junior x-men continue to play a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Dr Carl Blevins. Just what does have doctor have in mind for our "super friends" ? Again, this is another quick read from Ms. Jewell that has a pretty tense end. Waiting for the third book to drop !

Just as great as the first one, but in my opinion even better. With a little romance added in, I kinda liked that these teens still had a realism to them, which I loved.
