Born a bastard of Echo, a haven occupied by savage conquerors, the Vrai, sixteen-year-old Hain is haunted by both the coward living within him, and the guilt of having spilled innocent blood. Loathed by his kin for his dark hair and mismatched eyes, Hain finds his purpose ranging beyond the haven walls as a spy for the human resistance. But when Vrai collaborators within the haven work to reignite tensions with Echo's oldest enemy, Hain must escape not only to stop a war that could end humanity, but to save the person he loves as well.

Set in post-apocalyptic America, a witch orphaned from her deceased family seeks refuge at a whorehouse in order to escape starvation. ***** Ivy Tate has her whole life ahead of her but nothing to live for. The earth has been spewing its guts for years and her clan didn't survive it. The only upside? She's a witch. But contrary to popular opinion, magic can't always save lives. With the threat of a slow, hungry death hanging over her head, she falls into strange company; a band of misfits who have found their own way to survive. Ivy is offered clean clothes, a real bed, and food that doesn't run away. But she quickly realizes the price for luxuries is high, like sell-your-soul high, and she must decide if survival is worth the trade. BLOOMER [Book 1] is an off-the-beaten path tale about a young woman coming of age in a world that is falling apart. Mixing magical realism with speculative fiction and spicing it up with romance, BLOOMER will appeal to readers who like to root for unlikely heroes as they earn their stripes.

When convicted for murder, Charlie is given a choice: public execution or the Red Zone. Despite the Red Zone being known for providing a slow and painful death, she opts for the chance to fight for her life instead of facing public execution and it becomes clear quickly that her only chance of survival rests in the hands of others. However, when she develops relationships with the others in her new home, she learns there's more to be afraid of than the flesh eating monsters outside.

"Don't touch me, your hands are cold." Maddy Wesley was your typical 17-year-old high school student, a wallflower with excellent grades, a good taste for vanilla ice cream and a normal, somewhat dull life. Until a virus broke out. A virus that brought winter back in the heart of London. And there she is now, stuck in detention for the first time in her entire life because she was late to school on the very day the students were supposed to get vaccinated. Yes, vaccinated. But there's something menacing about the way the school nurse shoves the pointy syringe in each student's skin, something that makes Maddy's hair stand on edge. Something that tells her to run. "Run."

**CURRENTLY A FEATURED STORY** highest ranking: #11 in Science fiction ❝true happiness is only achieved without freedom. There is a girl who wakes to a world that she was supposed to protect. Instead, she fights it. There is a man who is cursed with the ability to dream. A glass city is their cage, a city filled to the brim with unanimity and order, a paradise on an earth laid to waste by an artificial snowstorm. Sunlight filters through the glass buildings and through glass walls, pierces glass floors. It illuminates the city square when it is strongest at noon, surrounded by a huddled mass of citizens, all as perfect as the city they inhabit. And they all think: everything is as it should be. And it is. Or, it was. -- long live perfection.❞ (c)sarahgaier2016 #diverselit | #LoveEqualsLove | #helpfightcliches | #freethelgbtq | #badassreads check out my Science Fiction novella, Sector-33, here! https://www.wattpad.com/story/62174094-sector-33

The Fly Boys are an elite group of males chosen each year from the top military school's senior class. They tend to be the best looking and most athletic boys in school, but that is not why they are chosen. They are chosen because they achieved the highest scores in the Arcane Simulator. Once chosen, the eight Fly Boys are allowed one week to choose a female partner to accompany them to Special Ops, where they will continue their Arcane training. Luckily for River, she doesn't have to worry about the overly sexist selection process. She is new to Braxton Hall, so nobody knows her. She is also younger than the rest of the seniors, having skipped two grades, an achievement almost unheard of at the elite military academy. In a time when the deadly X Virus has wiped out more than half the world's population, three quarters of which were females, the Fly Boys will be trained to protect the Northern Region and it's new number one commodity - the precious few remaining females.
