.° Kill or be killed₊˚ || The Outsiders by Vamp1rexxxx

[Discontented, but I'm writing another book.] The 1960's was called "The decade of Culture", but In Tulsa, Oklahoma, it was basically a whole different world, more boring than anything else. There were two different groups of folks in Tulsa, a poor Greaser who lived in the slums on the east side of town where their territory is, or the rich wealthy Socs who ruled the West side of town. But there was another way smaller group of teens who lived on The Southside, which was probably the most closed off teen of girls. They were called the Southside Country girls, and were probably some of the most sought after girls in Tulsa. Most boys had a crush on one of those girls, but due to their other protective older sister who is their Guardian, all 7 girls are unattainable from the knowledge, of their oldest sister. But behind their older sisters back, they all began to rebel against their older sister, talking to boys, sneaking out, and partying. But one day you start hanging out with a Greaser boy, and you have to go through a small time period in your life where you and your sister and cousins have to come to and understanding that Country Kids, Greasers, and Socs aren't all that different, and everyone has struggles with something. How can you survive being one of these girls?

Gods Under The Dome by OctaviaLocke

[Editors' Choice 2020] In a near-future, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world burn. Order, suppression and lies, or chaos, truth and freedom? Whatever is chosen, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. ***** Every year, the Federated United Americas tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of three Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking government jobs and militia commandos, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the FUA has to offer: The Council. Beckett Blake is known in the Facility as Ten, and she alongside six others branded 'Liars', have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the FUA. When a terrorist group breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. Required to become a drug runner in the mega-city known as Neon Brights, Ten must decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Ten choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she carve out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction? Cover by @eosophobias
