Clashing Obsessions by caffeineandcomputers

A tech-saavy cyborg with too much time on her hands. A quick-thinking detective with a fascinating new case. A mad scientist on the verge of a groundbreaking advancement. A young girl wants nothing more than to lead an interesting life, but is constantly faced with empty time and incessant boredom. When she turns to computers to pass the time, she quickly finds herself entangled in a world of less-than-legal programming, soon earning a reputation as an exceptional hacker. When she discovers someone else with a mind like hers, it doesn't take long for her to become preoccupied by the mystery of him, and she longs to find out his identity. Unfortunately, a clever international detective is a little too determined to track her down, and a scientist with a disregard for ethics has other plans for her, involving an experiment that he believes could revolutionize humanity, but at what cost? Three people, three stories, three obsessions, intertwined in this sci-fi tale set in a cyberpunk-inspired world in the year 2120. What do teenage hacker Kalix Raven, UNBI Agent Rachel Cassanova, and Dr. Rovart Blayne all have in common? They're all a little obsessed. (Book 1 of 3) [Watty's 2022 Shortlist]

Hybrid: The Awakening by DuNdUnDUN2006

Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.

Beneath the Shadowlanders by ManderRitzert

We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.

Out of the Fire by ejcou0

What would you do if you discovered the end of the world was really nigh? Which way out would you take if you were very wealthy and discovered there were two possible paths to avoiding the catastrophe? Would you choose a dangerous jump to the future or risk hiding in a sanctuary until the danger has passed? An adventure into a post apocalyptic Earth, where the future isn't a desert inhabited by weirdos and strange cars, one that is green and fertile, but still dangerous. Welcome to a future world where all isn't as it appears, one where all the preparation you could think of, may not be enough.

Under The Embers by AbbeyIsHere

Truth is a weapon when the world is built on lies. Juniper loves an excursion. She longs for the freedom, to taste fresh air on the tip of her tongue and feel the glow of moonlight over her skin. Juniper will do just about anything to be out of Mirim; even if it means killing somebody. Or, more accurately, something. Thirty seven years after the Baltic Fallout, an unplanned, unsanctioned extension goes awry. As a one-off, it's unusual but nothing more. Pistris II Caterva, however, know more than they're letting on. A fright in the medic wing of Mirim, a strange substance tested and the mad rantings of the target they were sent to dispose of, leave a group of young Tiros rightly suspicious. Their curiosity will set them on a new path, one where the future that lies just around the next corner, is a complete unknown. And as much as that scares Juniper Wolfe, she is determined to do the right thing. But sometimes, doing the right thing for the right reasons, simply isn't enough.

Diamond Wings by Ginovino13

The Agency - Operation Delta (Part II) by AnastasiaThomas089

Vanessa was conscripted into the Agency as a child, trained to fight rebels, protect civilians, and serve without question. But after years of sacrifice, loyalty begins to feel like a lie. Sent on a covert mission, Vanessa is tasked with uncovering a rebel plot to destabilise the nation. As she delves deeper, cracks in the Agency's facade begin to surface, revealing a system riddled with deception and betrayal. As a rising rebel faction fueled by faith challenges a world ruled by science, chaos erupts. Caught between two forces-an oppressive institution that shaped her and a rebellion hiding dangerous secrets-Vanessa must decide where her loyalties truly lie. In this gripping tale of loyalty and rebellion, faith and science collide, and the cost of truth may be more than Vanessa is willing to pay.

Parallel World by Mielai__

They were supposed to have a normal life. Instead they must save the world. Five teens are whisked off to a parallel world, Paravald, where they must rescue the Moon and restore the Sun. Five friends, each with a dark past, must learn the power of friendship and trust if they will ever have a hope of restoring peace. What they don't realize is that they are mere pawns in a dangerous game. This may not be a mission of finding the Sun and Moon, but also finding themselves. The teens soon learn that not everything is as it seems. They must reevaluate who they left behind that has betrayed them, and most importantly, who they brought with them. And they only have eleven days before their two worlds collide.
