Publisher's summary

When Deputy US Marshal Danielle "Danny" Martin was told she'd gotten a promotion, she expected to be leading her own fugitive retrieval team. Instead, she got transferred to Pontian, Florida, of all places, and assigned to a Superhero support detail for Focus, a seemingly immortal superhero who is also one of the most famous lesbian icons on the planet.

Bad enough she's got to spend every day working with a woman she's had a crush on since she was five years old, but when she arrives at her new post, things start getting weird. It turns out that Focus asked for her by name, and it quickly becomes apparent that Focus wants to be more than just coworkers, or even friends.

After Focus has a violent reaction to Danny getting hurt in the line of duty, she starts looking into why the Superhero might be so fixated on her. She begins to suspect that seeing the future might be one of Focus's powers, but when a mission leaves her stranded thirty years in the past, right at the start of Focus's superhero career, everything becomes clear, except why the Focus in the past can barely seem to tolerate her presence.

Beautiful Sci-Fi Romance

Loved every bit of this book. Especially like this narrator as well. Very inventive and good paced story line. Nothing I didn’t like about it.

A favorite for years, finally read aloud!

I already have Scatter on my bookshelf, but it’s a special treat to hear an amazing reader perform it. I love the voice they gave to Ayanda, and the accent they did for Eurion was priceless. Looking forward to hearing them do Transistor next!

Wonderfully Written

The story is good and well written. I really enjoyed the fact there is a story and not just Lesbian porn. I listened twice just to pick up the hints of the story from the end to the beginning.. Well worth the time to read and I'm looking forward to other books written by the Author

Whoa so different

Marvel Universe meets Men in Black only verrrrrry sapphic and queer in a way that made me as a cis woman consider my own views in role of anatomy in love

Loved

This isn't my 'normal' genre. That being said I ABSOLUTELY love it. The characters were fantastic and relatable. I loved the strong super hero women, the bad ass take no prisoners characters. The narrator was just ok, not a lot of range within her voice, and her accents kinda sucked. That being said, I still LOVED LOVED this one.

I need more!

Dear Audible,

Please for the love of all things holy, make the rest of Molly’s book into Audible books!

Everybody else:
100% worth a listen.

Beautiful Queer Romance with SciFi and Fantasy shenanigans

I loved how real the relationship between our protagonists felt, and how honest they were with each other. You don’t often see these couples taking steps to make a relationship stay healthy and thriving, but here they certainly do!
Add that to the rest of the fantastic cast of characters and some time travel and magic and you have a book I couldn’t put down

love

this is such a great story! my wife and I can't wait to hear the 2nd book and hoping it's on audible ASAP! We will be looking forward for more books! also the narrative was really great too!

Yes You Should

I fell in love with the book and was very excited to find it on audio. The story is cute, funny, and enchanting. I love the characters and fell in love with everybody and was sad when the story ended because I wanted more time with them all.
My only problem with this rendition or perhaps I should say with the narrator is the lack of voices for each character. I found that disappointing because I was so looking forward to hearing the narrator's take on how everyone sounded. Ms. Pickens voice has that sultry alto sound, however when you don't change it for each character I found that early in the book because of the lack of variety the sound became monotonous and my mind began to wander. I was able to stay the course and believe that has she got more into it her excitement and intensity became more pronounced while helped me to once again Immerse myself into the story.

Can’t wait for book 2 in the series, and wow, the narration is amazing.

This is a great story, can’t wait for the second one in the series. I also think that I have found a new favorite narrator.
