Specimen by C. Quince
Specimen by C. Quince was so much fun! David, who's been experimented on, joins Sonny, another super soldier, as part of a secret division of British Intelligence.
I fell in love with the cover art, which reminded me of Bucky, then with the actual characters of the novel. The plot is sci-fi sprinkled with urban fantasy. I can't wait for Book 2, but the author has released unrelated novellas instead (they're on my to-read list anyway ^^).
ETA: Jingle Jingle Kill is actually set in the same 'verse with some of the same supporting cast.
David is bisexual and half-Mexican, half-White. Sonny is gay and half-Iranian, half-White. The other agents include an enby, a woman using a wheelchair and many POC.
