Kadota (Love Trilogy) by Lisa_Evette

In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.

But we have managed to survive and persevere despite everything that has happened. The year 2147 was a year of hope for us, with the arrival of the Golik, an alien race, who were kind and wanted nothing more than to help us. Alongside the Golik, we had five years of peace and prosperity with them, both races gaining knowledge from the other and building to create a wonderful relationship with the other.

Follow Percy and his team as they go from a simple mission of investigating an abandoned power plant to trying to save an already fractured Earth, from a maniacal man chasing after the powers of a fallen star.

DREA (GxG) by xJadesx

Mrs Julia Robinson, the wife of American figure skating Olympian Adrian Robinson, is nervous about finally meeting her husband's family. After two years of marriage living in Amsterdam, they've decided it's time to move back to Virginia and give Julia the opportunity to meet the rest of her husband's family. The most important of them all is his close sister and best friend, Adreanna Jones. The flight to Virginia was long, but the car ride to Adreanna's house was short. Despite the short distance, the couple never made it there. Julia wakes up in a hospital, broken and alone. She learnt that they'd been in an accident that claimed her husband's life and sent her into a coma for 12 days. Heartbroken, depressed and disabled, she found herself stranded in a foreign country with no one to lean on. Or so she thought. Adreanna loved her brother more than anyone in the world. He was her father, mother, and best friend. He was her everything. Then he was gone. Julia was the closest thing left to her brother. Adreanna's intentions were to just get to know the woman her brother married, look after her on his behalf until she could look after herself again and eventually return home. But life wiped out those plans before they even cemented as the two women, in a time of hurt and grief, seeking closure, companionship and love, formed a bond they didn't even realise was growing until it was too late. Now they're stuck at a crossroads, having to decide between love and ethics. The sequel to Drea is out now. It is called Mrs Jones. You can find it on my profile. <3

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2021 Shortlister. Standalone sequel (Rocks Can Dance) coming in 2023. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know!

On the outskirts of the Neomerica capital, Nova City, is a rural forest region called Wormward, which harbours the infamous UOAA owned, Wormward Asylum. An all female institution for the criminally and mentally insane, or so the inmates are lead to believe. When South Wormward youth, Poem Presley, is sent to the asylum after a fight turns deadly, she quickly discovers along with five other inmates that the asylum is run by diabolical nurses, twisted robots and UOAA soldiers. After enduring weeks of violent attacks, psychological torture and trauma, Poem decides enough is enough and the group follow her lead in an attempt to escape. Through hallways full of blood, death and traps, the question remains. Can anybody make it out of Wormward Asylum alive?
