The Story
Twenty-three year old Dani Taylor
has a job, an apartment, and bills. She’s single. She loves pizza, ice cream,
and hanging out with her two best friends. At the end of the week, she likes to
go out with them both to unwind and have a night of fun at their favorite dance club.
She has a typical, normal life.
That’s about to change.
What starts as a headache becomes
an image burning in her mind that she discovers is no figment of her
imagination. It’s a repressed memory. And there’s a reason why it’s suddenly been
recalled.
What do you do when a repressed
memory isn’t all that’s come back? When there’s a deadly Haragan alien hunting
for you, and a mysterious, shadowy organization also wants you dead?
When you’re
Earth’s only hope for survival, do you hide who you are? Or do you choose to
fight, to embrace your true self…
And be the superhero the world needs you to be?
Breaking the Superhero Mold
She doesn't wear a cape or costume. She doesn't have a mansion or millions of dollars. She doesn't change her hair style, put on fake glasses, or change her voice. The traditional comic book superheroes do that. This isn't a comic book, and Dani's not your traditional superhero.

“I can smell your fear, Aetherian,” Mithista growled, baring
razor sharp teeth as Dani backed away and moved onto the dance floor. Mithista
followed, flexing her clawed fingers with anticipation, and then charged forward
faster than Dani thought possible.
Mithista hit her with such force that Dani was knocked backwards
across the entire length of the dance floor. She cried out in pain as she
struck a support pillar with a bone-jarring crunch that sent bits of plaster
raining down around her.Before Dani could recover, Mithista charged forward again and grabbed one of her legs. Spinning around, she sent Dani sailing through the air once more, sneering with pleasure when she cried out again as she slammed up against the bar and then fell to the floor on her hands and knees.
Dani’s entire body felt as if it were on fire, the pain running through it was so intense. Gasping for breath, she attempted to stand as Mithista changed back into the human form she had taken and walked casually across the dance floor.
“How many others from your world are here with you, Aetherian?” Mithista asked as she stepped up to the bar and put her hand around Dani’s throat, lifting her up as though she weighed nothing.
“Dozens,” she gasped, fighting to breathe as the Haragan squeezed her throat with an iron grip. “The others will be here any minute.”
Mithista’s eyes narrowed angrily. Leaning forward until her face was a hair’s width away from Dani’s, she inhaled another deep breath in through her nose - and then laughed.
“You’re a terrible liar. There aren’t any other Aetherians on this world. You’re all alone here.”
“I may be the only Aetherian,” Dani choked out. “But I’m not alone.”
With all the strength she could muster, Dani flapped her
wings as forcefully as she could. Not expecting the sudden move, Mithista
quickly loosened her grip around her throat.
But Dani was quicker. She grabbed Mithista by the wrist as
she shot up into the air and then spun, whirling around several times before
letting go.
Mithista screamed with
unbridled fury as she went careening through a large mirror on the wall to the
left of the bar and into the security room that was hidden behind it.
Every light in the club went dark and the pulse-pounding
music stopped abruptly as Mithista crashed into the club’s main electrical box.
Dani fell back down onto the floor on one knee, clutching
her stomach and biting back the excruciating pain that was ripping throughout
her entire body.
After a minute, she slowly got back to her feet and on shaky
legs, started to make her way toward the front doors of the club. In the
distance, she could hear sirens coming closer with every passing second.
As she neared the doors, Mithista came out of the darkness
in her natural form once again and hurled into her from behind. Dani barely had
time to throw her arms up in front of her eyes before she flew through one of
the doors, shattering the glass and sending razor sharp shards everywhere.
She cried out as the glass cut into her arms and legs and
then hit the hard, unforgiving pavement of the parking lot and rolled like a
tumbleweed for several yards before stopping.

There's plenty of action, unexpected twists, humor, and some language (no F-bombs).
And of course, a kickass female in the leading role. Welcome to Angel City.
