A wall divides the country in half. The prosperous Metropolis sits to the west and the Wastelands falls to despair in the east. For the medically enhanced, twenty-year-old girl called Blue, climbing over the wall is an easy task. She drops into the Wastelands to start a new life while attempting to forget the harsh parts of her past that bring her to the edge of losing control.

After escaping the Metropolis, she searches for Frank Gibson, a man who can help her understand her new abilities. He offers insight about the Hospital-the demented facility that created her-but is unable to help her control the monster growing in her mind. It doesn't take long for him to see how quickly she loses control, especially when facing the worst parts of life in the Wastelands. Blue reaches a breaking point when she witnesses an auction for slaves and feels a sudden urge to free the people. She vows to use her uncontrollable abilities to end the slavery in hopes that doing right by them will diminish the turmoil constantly brewing behind her eyes.

While Blue is busy becoming a legend in the Wastelands, her family slowly suffers in the Metropolis. They live under President Whiley's harsh ruling and nearly lose everything. Their hope for a brighter future fades as months without their daughter speed by in a blur and the struggle becomes harder to handle. They are forced to give up nearly everything in order to stay together and find it easy to blame their missing daughter for their hardships. Little do they know of the secrets behind her disappearance and what she had done for them.

Sentilia by ChristineParentBooks

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

Turing Test by chicavara

In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part series

Just Monsters [Completed] by JAJA9154

¤¤¤¤ You'll never know what could possibly happen here in our world. You'll never know what can attack you in the darkness. Even simple myths can be real. Some believe in them, some do not. I'm Jammie Blue Lee, a sixteen year old girl that believes in monsters. They all call me "Blue". ¤¤¤¤ The moment I settled my eyes on her, I knew she was the one for me. Not the cliché kinda thing but what can I do? Her soft skin, brown wavy long hair, brown eyes, small pink lips, long smooth legs and curvy body is enough to make me think dirty things that I'll do with her once I settle my fingers on her. And let's not forget about her strong aura. The feeling you are in grave danger once you look at her, is what I feel when she looks at me. I'm Jeydon Red Sai. The only guy that Blue will have for the rest of her eternity. ▪▪▪▪▪▪ Alright peeps! Second shitty ass freaking Book. XD This story involves mature contexts and swearing.
