As a noose of prophecies draws tight, Red fights to unlock her dormant powers, gain the sympathy of an uncaring God and return a waylaid kirin foal to its homeland. ***** After escaping the shyfters who abducted her as a child, Red is suddenly confronted by the fact that she has no idea who or what she is. She's the first person to have received the Sun Goddess's Blessing in over a century, but Rya refuses to answer her prayers, and the Night Goddess's army grows ever larger, fell agents stalking their every step. And then there's Sebastian: her rogue wolf, her saviour, and the bane of her existence. Red can sense he's holding something back, but what? She can't help but wonder why one of Nya's Chosen has fallen so far from Grace-and what he's willing to do to get it back.

Clare Peterson is rich, confident and beautiful, but even she knows money can't rescue her from her loneliness. As an unremarkable year draws to an end, she is shipped off to a ski trip in the company of strangers; her father's idea of love, but torture in her mind. But strangers are the least of Clare's problems as an accident on route leaves many dead and a few injured, leaving Clare with little choice but to endure the company of three other survivors: a mute, a joker, and a guy-next-door whose advances are anything but subtle. Will Clare come out of this ordeal unscathed, or will she find that perhaps there is a cure for her loneliness yet or even love? After all, survival in a cold, snowy mountain with three handsome men can't be that difficult, can it?

But when she resurfaces her classmates have been replaced by girls in retro swimsuits and bathing caps and guys in thigh-baring briefs with cigarettes tucked behind their ears. When Pete Harrison, an unfamiliar face who seems somewhat familiar with hers, offers a dizzy and confused Vanessa a towel and a ride home, she discovers her house and family missing.

In the year 2499, only a small part of the world is inhabited after a great war. This inhabited part, Pretoria, is securely surrounded by a concrete wall to keep out the rubble and remnants from the war, and to seclude dangerous prisoners. Joan, the daughter of such a 'dangerous' prisoner, one day escapes the prison. When she enters the big bad world behind the wall, she finds out the worlds is indeed as bad as she predicted. A world controlled by money and power, and served by androids that look awfully real. Joshua Smith, a handsome and mysterious inhabitant of the capitalistic world, crosses paths with the escaped 18-year-old and takes her in. Despite being standoffish and cold-hearted, Joan makes Joshua's heart warm. Well, maybe. What she definitely does, is turn his eyes yellow. The 21 is a harmonious mix of sci-fi, mystery, romance and fantasy. The story revolves around four very different characters, whose lives will blend, leading to surprising and shocking revelations about their Perfect World. I hope you get absorbed in the story and will enjoy it! Warning: Not recommended under 12 due to coarse language and violence.
