“Until then, I had merely thought of myself as a pet project, but he was right. I was an unstable weapon. A pawn in everyone else’s game. Trapped in a vicious circle with no way out.”

About Vicious Circle

An entire society of mutants lives in plain sight. Every move they make is policed by a civilian organization, OMEGA, that has been trying to hack the mutant genome for decades.

Elizabeth Reid has been haunted by an infamous mutant for three years. Stranded on what was once her family’s homestead, she becomes a field test for a gene therapy that turns her into a manufactured Alpha –the strongest category of mutant.

Thrust into the middle of a brewing cold war between the underground society of mutants and OMEGA, she is forced to hide what she is while trying not to be the spark that sets the world ablaze.

Vicious Circle is a science fiction action thriller. If you like cerebral novels with a dynamic cast of narrating characters, and a rich world to explore then you’ll love this first installment of the Vicious Circle series by Rochele Rosa.
