Centuries after 'Black Sunday' - the day solar storms ravaged the earth - the world lies divided: one half a Utopian prison, the other a ruthless military dictatorship.

Peppermint lives a shameless life brimming with hedonistic pleasures. When she discovers she's a psi with prophetic abilities, her world collapses. She's imprisoned and forced into endless, nightmarish sessions with a merciless scientist. Peppermint must learn to control her power... or risk becoming a slave to the elite.

In the harsh African savanna, life is a constant struggle for Jinx. But revenge fills this volatile soldier's mind. When the search for her mother's killer takes her into the center of a rival colony, Jinx is faced with a terrifying decision. Her choice reins in the truth about her past... and the depraved nightmare she's unwittingly plunged herself into. 

While both women struggle with their new realities, an archaic conspiracy threatens. Peppermint and Jinx must remain true to themselves battling for our most valued human right: freedom.

FEEL by AdanNoone
40 parts Complete Mature
This is a novel for the brokenhearted. For those who can't stand the state of the world: the division, the hate, the money-over-everything mentality, the relentless push for more, more, more. The story confronts harsh realities-our dying planet, oligarchy, struggles with suicidal thoughts. If these trigger you, proceed with care, but you might find unexpected solace in sharing this journey with others wrestling with the same awareness. Because while I write of darkness, I also write of love, friendship, and perseverance. We are all in this together... like it or not. I post 5 chapters every Friday. I look forward to your thoughts! Synopsis: In a world where compassion has become a liability, Dr. Noonie Reyes studies what remains of human connection from the sterile safety of her laboratory. In our near future of environmental chaos and societal collapse, the System-an oligarchy ruling through surveillance, manipulation, and the illusion of choice-has perfected humanity's slow emotional starvation amid the ruins of civilization. Beyond the walls lies the Waste: scorched landscapes, desperate survivors, and a truth the System cannot contain. When a mysterious contagion escapes from the lab, Noonie becomes patient zero for something unprecedented-the return of empathy. As the infection spreads, transforming a corporate politician in a public display that shocks the nation, the System's architects realize their control is threatened by something they never anticipated: feeling itself. While authorities scramble to quarantine compassion, Noonie's awakening draws her into an underground movement fighting for humanity's emotional resurrection. With each new connection, she uncovers the true price of isolation and the revolutionary power of remembering how to care. In this haunting debut that echoes Orwell and Atwood, one woman's contamination becomes an entire society's salvation, asking: What remains human in us when we've been engineered to feel nothing at all?
The Debt Collectors War by TessMackenzie
96 parts Complete
Ellie is a soldier in a world without governments. A generation ago, a series of financial crises caused most of the world’s governments to collapse, and left many of the people in those countries in terrible personal debt. Since then, the worst debtor nations have been under military occupation by the troops of the debt recovery corporations, and the worst debtor of all is Měi-guó, the old United States. Ellie is serving in the Afghan Police Action when she receives bad news from home. She is told the daughter she hasn’t seen in years is dead. She flies home from war, upset, to do what needs to be done, but once there she finds out all is not as it seems. Ellie’s daughter is alive and unhurt. She is being held by of one of the many debt-recovery corporations. Held, for leverage, to make Ellie do the corporation a favour. Ellie’s daughter will be returned unharmed if Ellie does as they wish. The son of a company director is lost somewhere in the wilderness of post-debt-restructuring America, and hasn't been seen for three days. The company wants Ellie to go and find the kid, and Ellie doesn't know if she can. The one rule she's stuck to all her working life is to never to go to America, but now she might have to. She will have to, if she wants to save the daughter she hasn't seen in years. This is fairly dark and gritty near-future dystopian SF. ----- Debt Collectors War is now on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QZG1RHI/ Also on iTunes and B&N and other places. Just if that's easier to read that way! But please don't feel obliged or anything, and thank you for looking -----

I became a villainess loved by all

36 parts Complete

Everyone loved the "pure and perfect" heroine-except me. I was just a reader who got sick of watching the tragic villainess twin be humiliated, heartbroken, and killed for daring to want love. So, I tossed the book in the trash... and woke up as her. With a sassy system, twisted fate, and a burning grudge, I'm done playing the role of the jealous loser. Now? The villain chases after me like a man starved. The male lead can't stop falling in love. And the heroine? She's not so beloved anymore. I'll rewrite this story-and this time, the villainess gets everything. Watch out, world. I'm not here to survive. I'm here SLAY
