Echoes Beneath The Ashes by Amnesise

The world is dying. The infection doesn't just take lives-it warps them, turning people into something unrecognizable. Something monstrous. Survivors hide, whispering of those lost to the sickness, but the infected are not the only danger. Amias refuses to believe all hope is gone. He clings to the idea that some can still be saved. Eclipse knows better. She has seen what mercy costs, and she won't make that mistake again. Survival is the only rule. Forced together in a land where the infected aren't the only predators, they must fight to stay ahead of the growing darkness. Something watches from the trees, waiting. Hunting. And in a world where humanity is slipping away, one truth remains: They never let go.

Displaced (Book One) by cloudsriser

Chevelle Donahue thought going into work would be just like any other boring day at the mall. Sure, there was her annoying co-worker Wicken Sanders, and a promotional visit from teen heartthrob Timber Hudson, to watch and keep her entertained. But who was she kidding? Working retail was lame no matter what happened. A terrorist attack changes everything - an attack from aliens of all things. The patrons are given two options: comply or else. Complying means giving in to a new set of rules and changing her entire life. "Or else" means she has no chance of going home again. She must figure out the truth behind why the aliens are holding everyone hostage. In doing so, she risks her chance at freedom - but by the time she learns what's really happening, she might not want it.

Thrive - Remastered by Jonathan-Yanez

Mankind's fate will not be one of simplicity and luxury. Instead it will be an unprecedented experiment of survival played on a communal level. Only those in power will know the truth. Everyone else will be manipulated through a façade of rule and order. Jordan Shepherd has been given the opportunity of a lifetime. This opportunity will allow her to assume a position of leadership within her city. However, the more she learns, the more questions she will have. The city's policy of releasing agitators to the unknown beyond the Wall is a false front. It is nothing more than an opportunity to silence the voices seeking to penetrate the veil of lies. Soon Jordan finds her own voice counted among these and she will be forced to make a decision to stand for truth or bend to lies. Humanity will be led toward division and chaos through influence and control. Jordan's peers, blinded by deception, will desire nothing more than compliance. Freedom in truth is what she will bring them.

Snow by jule009

After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore. Nobody knows the month, the day of the week...and the only way to tell time is by the slight change in the color of the sky from grey to black every twenty-four hours. If a day even is twenty-four hours anymore. The planet is dead. The people are dead. Snow falls down upon piles of bodies like the ash of a volcanic eruption. Except, the snow doesn't stop. It never does. It continues to fall and fall until you wonder if it is even possible for another flake to come down and land silently in your hair. But it does. They do. There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's Shortlisted

The Island by AmyJohnson895

"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing. Highest Ranking: #45 in Science Fiction **2nd Place Winner of the 2017 Rose Awards** **Featured as a Wattpad Pick on 11/8/19**
