In the near future, two teens are swept up in the battle for the internet. A fast-paced thriller about the consequences of the choices we make. Jonah Delacroix can't stand the real world - so he lives most of his life inside a global computer-based virtual world called the Metasphere, where everyone is represented by an avatar. When he discovers the avatar of his dead father, and assumes his online identity, he meets Samantha Kavanaugh, a deadly stranger fighting to keep the Metasphere free. Together, they race across the real world with a secret society to protect the freedom of all mankind. This is the first of a four books series that is published in paperback around the world by Hachette. If you like fast-paced thrillers like The Hunger Games, Ready Player One, and The Maze Runner, I think you'll love METAWARS. I'd really appreciate your feedback, and if you get pulled into Jonah & Sam's adventures, please find the sequels (there are 3!) in good bookshops or online, published by Hachette. Oh, and don't forget to vote!

Living a double life is really hard, as you could probably already tell. You have to be two people at different times of the day and maybe even at the same time. And this puts pressure on people who have a second life; one person being Nyella. Nyella Hudsyn is what you'd think to be your average sixteen year-old school girl. She has very few friends as she is classed as a nerd and she sometimes gets bullied by her tormentors. At home she lives with her twin brother and parents, who are surprisingly not divorced, and her four pet mantids. You would expect Nyella's life to be pretty ordinary, right? Well that's where you're wrong. Like I said before Nyella has a double life. Nyella's life as a whole is very complicated, however nobody knows it. Her second life consists of herself being a famous YouTuber and as well as being a well known street dancer and fighter. She is known as Scorpian for all of this. This; the life she lives as a rebel. Where she is who she truly is and who she wants to be. She is her own person. Although the thing is that nobody, not even her own family, knows that she is Scorpian. Sure everyone knows who Scorpian is, but they just don't know that Nyella is Scorpian. They're same people. Different personalities. But they're the same inside. What happens when her main bully, Flynn Evans, finds out about her secret? Finds out about her being Scorpian? Will Merryn be able to keep the nerd act up? Or will she have to forget about that, and chose to show everyone who she really is? Copyrighted © All Rights Reserved
