Book Hero thinking about your next read

Rennie Parker’s life is plagued by domestic upheaval. Now his memories of the past 24 hours have been erased and he’s pursued by a bionic man in his dreams. Left with nightmares of misused children, a video of glowing hands, and part of a dead scientist’s lecture on immortality, can he free those caught in this dark world of forced experimentation?

For as long as Rennie Parker’s been alive, his parents have fought—about money, about life, but mostly about him being the biggest mistake of their lives. His half-brother, Blaine Colton, seems to have landed a sweet deal with his adoptive family, and Rennie can’t help being envious.

When a night of domestic turmoil lands his mother in hospital and his father a thread away from arrest, Rennie gets his wish of staying with his brother’s family—but that’s not before he witnesses a stranger with bionic powers unearthing a high-tech vault in his backyard.

Determined to discover the purpose of the stranger’s visit, he manages to secure the top-secret contents of the vault with inexplicable links to his brother. This lands him in a world of pain with a time gap he can’t explain, and an accusation of arson.

When the one person he trusts, Blaine, turns against him, Rennie has to figure things out on his own. Left with a video of glowing hands, part of a dead scientist’s lecture on immortality, terrifying dreams about misused children, and his fragmented memories, he must piece these clues together before—?

Immortal Mistake unravels Rennie’s mystery in a gripping tale of trust, betrayal, and the desperate quest to remember. If only he could remember.
