In 2050 a war broke out that shuck the entire world, no one was safe from the war which ended promptly in 2080. Almost everything was destroyed and with a blank canvas, it was decided that a new world would be built. Super markets and shop chains no longer exist, replaced by family run businesses that are striving in the climate, and with cars being replaced by carts pulled by horses, its as if the world is turning back on itself. The rich prosper and live in large houses whist the poor do their best to earn money or end up on the streets, but the lowest of all are the Deviants. The war brought with it various chemicals and with them came side effects. With the chemicals no longer in the air, the mutations that it has caused have only just come to light. The Deviants are those that suffered at the hands of these chemicals that have resulted in them gaining certain 'powers'. Afraid of what might come from them, the Deviants became the social outcasts, left homeless and starving but most of all, feared by the rest of the world. In the small town of Sherwood the homeless are arrested and never seen again and when Leo himself is taken, Shay goes on a mission to find out what is happening, only, she never expected one of the rich students to follow her. When they find out what is truly going on, the students are determined to make sure everyone knows what happens inside the walls of the clinics, but they never expected the tables to turn and for them to become the outcasts. Will they be able to change the way the town views the Deviants before it is too late?

Emma, from an outward glance, always seems to have it all. She's gorgeous with a rocking body, confident and incredibly likable. She can be a bad-ass hardcore chick when she wants to, or a soft, passionate friend other times. She's envied by most because she's the ultimate female player. No one would dare call Emma a slut. But all that glitters is - unfortunately - not gold. If you take down the thick walls she's built around herself to block out any kind of emotions that could develop, you can see that beneath it all - she's just a vulnerable, scared girl. Apart from her closest friend, who has to deal with something similar and just as painful, nobody knows how fucked up her life actually is. Being a teenager is hard enough as it is, but even harder when you have to take care of your little sister, provide money for your parents drug and alcohol addiction and make sure that nobody ever finds out about your personal life. But what happens when an unexpected and incredibly sexy, bad-ass player comes into the scene? With her life turned upside down, things change for Emma - for better and worse. WARNING: This story may contain violence and a little strong language.

Having famous parents doesn't mean having an easy life. After their marriage breaks down, Cady gets the choice of leaving her home in the UK for New York. When more complications happen in the form of a secret romance, she can’t wait to start a new life in the states. But it seems that drama follows the bad apple even in the big apple... Some of this is set in Birmingham in England and some is set in NY, based on my one short visit there. I'm an English writer so I use English spelling and probably phrases. I don't know that much about America beyond research and my time there so feel free to point out any inaccuracies. Cover photograph is from dreamstime.com. Edited by me. Thanks for reading!
