The life of Alexandra Collins, better known as Lexi, along with nineteen others changes drastically, not when time stops, but when it starts again.
After living the same day over and over for over twelve years, each day a mundane replication of the last, its hostages utterly oblivious to its repetition, Lexi's faced with an awakening in the most ironic form; she sleeps in.
Navigating a world that seemingly stayed on repeat without her wouldn't have been possible without those who suffered the same enlightenment as herself, the shocking truth of life greater than themselves and new found abilities that broke any boundaries physics had put in place, opening her eyes to a whole new world.
Hindered however by an invasion that nobody could have expected, fighting for their survival was the least of their worries, the world's fate now their sole responsibility.

Synthetic Eden
In a not-so-distant future where genius is currency and ambition can be weaponized, Synthetic Eden follows Kara Wynn, a brilliant university student whose mind is her greatest asset-and possibly her undoing. Driven by the need to prove herself in a world that values perfection over humanity, Kara juggles her rigorous academic life and her quiet grief with sharp intellect and stubborn will. But something is off beneath the surface of her carefully ordered life. Electronic glitches, a blinking red light hidden in her desk, and an increasing sense that she is being watched all point to something far more insidious. When whispers of a groundbreaking, elite program begin to circulate-one that promises to recognize the world's most exceptional minds-Kara doesn't suspect she's already on the list. As she and others are unknowingly drawn into what seems like a prestigious selection process, the truth unfolds with horrifying precision: it was never a competition. It was a culling. Humans and animals alike, taken under the guise of opportunity, are thrown into secret experimentation, each subject forced to evolve-or perish. Kara's only constant is Dr. Jun Seo, a stoic, enigmatic scientist whose fascination with her runs deeper than professional curiosity. Their growing connection becomes both sanctuary and danger, especially as Kara begins to piece together fragments of the truth. In the end, the greatest betrayal isn't the experiment itself-but the person orchestrating it. What if Eden wasn't paradise, but a controlled illusion? And what if the price of survival is the destruction of everything human?Complete
