Love; it either builds a person or breaks a person. Being broken and resented by love Siana was trying to move on and accept her obnoxious past which changed her whole life until one day she discovers that her 21 years of life was just an illusion and her human life is coming to an end now. She discovers she is not just a human; she is something else, something invincible.

Nonetheless, she accepted the harsh truth and tried to dwell in the present and maintain the balance in her life  but little did she know LOVE was not done with her yet and this time it will bring DEATH with it; which makes her something she never was; a ruthless monster.

All Bridget has ever wanted is to find out about her parents. All her aunt and uncle want to do is protect her from her past and they would do anything to do that, even moving across the country.

With the demon that killed her parents still out there and the Prince and Princess in hiding until the Princess's phoenix powers manifest when they turn 16, can she find the answers she's looking for?

They were so excited to have a child. Except...Someone was watching from the shadows. Someone that would end their fairytale. Or would they?

I do not own anything. All credit goes to It's original makers and writers.

I came up with the idea for this story when Superman Returns (2006) hit theatres. This film was so bad that I had to create my own story. I was (am) an avid fan of DC comics, the Superman franchise and the CW hit television show Smallville (staring Tom Welling).

My book, Element of Surprise, does take ideas from all of the above and wraps them all neatly in my own original plot.

What makes my story different and original is a brand new spin on things. For the first time, fans get to enter this world through the eyes and mind of Lex Luthor as he tells the story. The entire story is taken from his POV.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

All characters (names & places) are originally the creation of DC Comics and Warner Bros. Studios.  Superman/Clark Kent was from the creation of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

In Chapter Ten: Revivify, Martha Kent quote "Every world needs its heroes, Clark. They inspire us to be better than we are.  And they protect us from the darkness that's just around the corner" is taken directly from the WB television show 'Smallville' season six.  Other quotes that may be similar to previous works are not taken directly and added for humor.

The Element of Surprise and main plot are all original from the author,                 - Holas Riordan

Dedication:

I dedicate this book (the first novel I ever completed) to my 6th grade teacher, Mrs. DiMeo, who counted me out, who stopped teaching me, who failed to inspire me, who did her very best to keep me back and keep me down. She failed to fail me!
