The Versions That Shouldn't Exist
They survived the tests. They escaped the levels. But the system never let go-it evolved. After barely making it out alive, Alyssa, Ezra, and Oliver crash into Level Four-an unstable, corrupted realm made of shattered simulations and discarded clones. Here, every room holds a memory that shouldn't exist, and every shadow could be another version of them... more broken, more dangerous, and more desperate to survive. When Alyssa comes face-to-face with a twisted version of herself-one who knows things she hasn't even begun to understand-she's forced to ask the question she's never dared to face: What if I'm not the original? As loyalties crack and reality begins to fold, they'll have to fight more than the system. They'll have to fight themselves. Because the most dangerous enemy isn't what's outside the door. It's what you see when you open it... and it looks just like you.Complete

"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.
