SILVER EYES (GXG)
[2024 WATTYS WINNER] Data predicts they will fail. Their hearts say otherwise. In a world sliced in two by a violent, massive wall, there are only two choices: struggle for survival in the dead lands of the Other Side, or surrender your identity to the data-driven Reg Society. When Grace Hayes and her brother Michael decide to cross the wall into the Reg Society, they have no idea an explosion will tear their world apart, leaving Michael stranded on the Other Side. Grace, now alone in a high-tech "paradise", is assigned as a Naval Officer. Her mission? Protect the wall. Her reality? A cold, blue-eyed superior, Heather Anderson, the woman who closed the gates the day of the attack and left her brother behind. Getting close to Heather might be the only way to uncover the truth and bring Michael back. But in a society where memories can be bought, altered, or erased, trust is a dangerous game, and falling for the enemy was never part of the plan.

OVERDIVE
Chris is a young man trapped in a cruel, fragmented loop of his own past. The time-space continuum he inhabits is frozen in an endless replay of the worst day of his life: the day all his friends perished during a devastating war. Haunted by their absence and his inability to protect them, Chris is burdened with an extraordinary goal-to alter the course of events and save his friends from their tragic fates. However, the universe has placed a steep price on his mission. Each time he fails to change the outcome, he is forced to relive the day from its beginning. The monotony and despair of the loop gnaw at his spirit, but Chris refuses to give up. Driven by a mix of guilt, love, and hope, he dives into each reset with the determination to make things right. Complicating his journey are the monstrous entities that lurk within the cracks of this warped reality. Alien-like beings, formed from the chaos of the disrupted timeline, roam the remnants of his world. Their sole purpose seems to be to hinder Chris, slowing his progress and testing his resolve at every turn. These creatures embody his fears, regrets, and unresolved grief, forcing him to confront not only his mission but also himself. Chris's path is fraught with danger, heartbreak, and the weight of countless failures. Yet, with each attempt, he uncovers fragments of the truth-about the war, the origins of the monsters, and his own role in the events that led to this nightmare. As time pushes back against him, Chris must decide how far he's willing to go and what sacrifices he's prepared to make to rewrite the past and secure a future for those he holds dear. Every step forward is a battle against time, the monsters, and his own doubts, but Chris knows that even the smallest victory could be the key to breaking free from the loop-and saving the people he loves most.Complete

It is a slow burn, but worth it. ~ After a devastating alien invasion leaves Earth in ruins, humanity struggles to survive in isolated zones, clinging to life behind barriers of failing technology. Lena, a skilled engineer with fierce determination, dedicates her life to maintaining what little remains of this protective technology-especially the light posts that keep the Xyvarians at bay. But when a search for medicine pulls her outside the safe zone, she encounters a certain alien. Towering, muscular, and adorned with sharp, curving horns, this alien is a calculated hunter, though his interest in Lena is anything but logical. Drawn to her, he pursues her in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, one that blurs the line between predator and prey. As Lena fights to evade capture, the tension between them ignites into a charged, forbidden attraction that neither can fully understand. He is unlike any alien she's ever faced-Machiavellian, dangerous, unyielding, yet inexplicably captivated by her. Lena, wary and unwilling to surrender, finds herself both repelled and fascinated by the Xyvarian who watches her with a gaze that burns with something far more primal. As she grapples with confusing desires and the disturbing revelation of a breeding program, Lena is forced to question everything-her survival, her humanity, and her heart. ~ (The artwork featured in my cover photo was sourced from Pinterest.
