Can a werewolf who makes people disappear save his world -- and get the boy of his dreams?
HIDDEN POWERS
(Superordinary Society Series, Bk 1)
By Tara Lain
Blurb
Jazz Vanessen is weird—and not just because he’s a werewolf. For most of his life, he’s felt different from his alpha male brothers and friends. Since he’s adopted, he can’t even blame it on family.
Now eighteen, Jazz meets his idol, the social activist Lysandra Mason, and her breathtaking nephew, Dash Mercury. When Dash is around, even stranger things start to happen, including Jazz falling hopelessly in lust. Not only is Jazz having visions, making people disappear, and somehow turning invisible, but somebody’s following him and threatening to reveal his pack’s secrets to the world.
Together with Dash and Jazz’s equally amazing friends—Carla, BeBop, Khadija, and Fatima—they discover the danger is even more lethal than they thought, and Jazz’s weirdness may save all their lives.

Excerpt
Dash stared at Lys as she calmly reviewed her
emails and sipped champagne. Her limo was equipped with all the comforts. But
right now he was tempted to snatch some of that comfort from her hand to get
her to pay attention. “Lys, are you going to tell the Magicouncil?”
She looked up, curious. No, that wasn’t right.
Evasive, that’s what she looked. “What do you want me to tell them, Dash?”
“That we’ve experienced two unexplained surges
of power in this area in the last two days. And the second one was significant.
Hell, Lys, the hair on my arms is still standing on end.”
“They’ll then ask me where it came from.” She
drained the last inch of bubbly in her glass.
He raised his eyebrows. “And you’ll tell them
that you think it came from some unregistered and unexplained kid in a
backwater called Hartford, Connecticut.”
She gave him a wry smile. “Don’t forget, I come
from this backwater.”
“Only by accident.”
She set the empty glass in the side compartment
next to her seat. “What did you think of him?”
Dash inhaled. Strange, but he didn’t want to
tell her everything. “He’s powerful. Amazingly so. But—” He shrugged. “—he’s
different. I don’t think he knows anything. And there’s something really odd
about him. Like a power I don’t get.” He looked at her face and realized she
looked uncomfortable. “What did you think?”
“I’m not as impressed as you are.” She stared
at her computer screen. “You know that there are many humans who have skills
they’re unaware of.”
“You think that’s all it is? Seriously? All
that power?”
She turned and met his eyes. “I don’t think we
should go off half-cocked, getting the council all riled up and intruding on
this boy’s life until we know more. He comes from a very powerful human family,
Dash, one with money and influence. We can’t start harassing him without
consequence.” She glanced at her hands. “I wish we’d met more of his family.
That might explain something about his skills.”
“Well, you set up the perfect scenario to learn
more about him.”
She smiled slowly—and slyly. “You finally got
with the program.”
He barked a laugh. “You’re always a step ahead
of me, Mistress.”
“And don’t you forget it. By the way, I loved
your comment about absorbing experience from the cosmos. Very cute.”
He smiled to cover his hard swallow.
She gazed at him and sipped her champagne. “Think of this
assignment as a chance to further prove yourself. A step toward—well, let’s
just say big things, where you really can absorb teachings from the cosmos.”
