*Watty's Shortlist!* Asher didn't know what he expected when he woke up in the desert, but it certainly wasn't to be shot at. It's 2056 and Asher-along with a group of twenty-one boys who can't remember a thing-is left reeling after barely surviving the battle that marked the beginning of his only memories. Dropped in the West Bank with nothing aside from the clothes on their backs and chains at their necks, the group scours the land, desperate to solve the mystery of their arrival. As Asher discovers the truth, he realizes that the fate of humanity may as well rest in his hands. Cover credit: @TheLittleMissShadow

Now, his left it all to Allah to find the 'one' but what happens when the one Allah chose for him is totally different than he imagined. Reviews: "The concept behind this story really intrigued me, since I don't really know a lot about the Muslim religion. The novel gives a great representation and explanation to the religion, even to those who aren't necessarily a part of it.'' ''I found it hard to put down, the characters were very realistic to read about and resembled real people I felt I could root for throughout the entire story. My overall favourite had to be Muhammad because of all the depth and devotion you placed into his character. '' ''Grammatically, I didn't really find any errors, which is both an impressive feat and something you should be proud of. I have to complain to a lot of authors for dialogue that seems like it's forced and unnatural, but your story's dialogue made me feel like I was right there as your characters were talking. Overall, a wonderful work that definitely deserved first place at The Dreamer Awards." First published on Saturday 17/6/17 / 7 PM Last published on Saturday 18/11/17 / 3:59 PM

(Highest ranking #254 in Sci-fi) Michael Livingstone is a literal intellectual prodigy born at an unfortunate time when artificial intelligence has replaced the human workforce, with the only exceptions of art, humanities, and AI development industries. Trust is deteriorating in society with the increasing frequencies of assaults, deception, and terrorism by and against the globalized national government. Michael always relies on his intellectual talent with space and perception along with some of his dauntless risk-taking spirit to escape danger in this society. However, Michael soon finds out that this situation involves way more players, variables, and conflicts of interests than he could calculate. This situation is so much more complex than a protest against unemployment, in fact it is a life-and-death matter -- the survival of humanity's civilization.

If someone were to tell Nathan Daniels that he will one day fall in love, he would have laughed at that person's face - after blowing smoke (from the cigarette in his mouth) in their face first of course. Especially if the girl he falls in love with happens to be the same girl who threatened his life. And his business he and his friend worked hard to establish too. Cierra Sanchez may like the color pink but she's far from your average girly girl. She works hard to bring justice and avenge someone dear to her by exposing the illegal establishment, 'Relief Grove'. Unfortunately, she's illegitimate and could get in serious trouble by the agency (and her mom) if they find out the wrong way (not going according to her brilliant plan). The only person who happens to know is Nathan, the same guy whom she threatened. Unfortunately (again), she's not in his good graces at the moment but he can't say a thing or else he goes down with her. Now imagine if after blackmailing each other and having to be forced to keep each others' secret, Nathan happens to actually have feelings for Cierra and Cierra might be having the same for him. Talk about unforeseen circumstances! Ranking: #683 in Paranormal? - 07/25/17 ○ ♡ ● Extra long summary and super cheesy ending. Hope you enjoy!
