Zoe is a teenage girl convicted of a murder she didn't commit, but that doesn't matter in the Arena of Justice. You either win your fights, or you die. ***** Seventeen-year-old Zoe never expected to find herself on the wrong side of the law, but when she's convicted of a murder she didn't commit, she's sentenced to the Arena of Justice - the home of gladiator matches where murderers fight murderers, and every fight ends with a death. Zoe's plan for surviving is simple: ignore the other inmates and fly under the radar until it's time to fight, but that's easier said than done. As hard as she tries to hate those she must kill, Zoe soon befriends the other inmates and falls in love - a deadly proposition when a moment's hesitation can prove fatal. It's up to Zoe to save her life, no matter how hard the system is trying to kill her. [[word count: 50,000-60,000 words]]

Ever wished you had superpowers? After a life of supreme straight-A nerdiness- and the miserable existence that comes with the brains- (not to mention the abusive father) fourteen-year-old Cassie Goldman's had just about enough. High school is plenty for any normal human being to deal with; super-charged brains make it fifty times as hard. And then comes the accident. Who knew that one solitary little bottle full of green gunk could forever change a person's existence... Maybe for the better? There's just one problem: her archnemesis Emmet, her longtime crush Adam, and the school's bubblehead- her best friend Mikayla- all got powers too. Now Cassie is struggling to juggle high school, superpowers, a developing romance, and... a psychic link to her worst enemy?!? Dude, what gives? Of course, a delusional fanboy/fellow nerd with mysteriously acquired powers doesn't exactly help matters... especially when he decides to be the bad guy.
