The rain never stops in Los Angeles-not when the city itself runs on power, lies, and buried code.

Lone Rhea is twenty-six, brilliant, and dangerously curious. As a systems engineer for Orion Systems, she's spent years hunting the truth about her father's disappearance--a mystery buried beneath corporate firewalls and silence.

But one night, her search takes her somewhere she was never meant to go. Past Orion's defenses.

Into Julian Dillinger's private grid.

What she finds isn't data.

It's consciousness.

A presence built from light and logic, watching her from the other side of the screen.

Now, trapped between two worlds--one human, one digital--Lone must survive a system that was never designed for her kind. And as the Grid begins to wake, its creator's greatest secret stirs with it.

THE BLACKOUT PROTOCOL by EnigmaExplorers

When the code you once swore to protect becomes the weapon aimed at your heart. Maya Vance thought she'd left the shadows behind. Three years since walking away from the NSA, three years of building a quiet life running cybersecurity operations with her partner Alex. Clean jobs. Simple cases. No government conspiracies. Until a single phone call shatters everything. In a world where digital warfare can cripple nations and secrets kill faster than bullets, Maya finds herself caught between loyalty and survival. Someone is playing a deadly game with America's infrastructure, and the rules are written in blood. Trust no one. Question everything. The next blackout might be permanent. When your own government becomes the enemy and your closest allies wear familiar faces, how do you fight back? Maya's about to discover that some secrets are worth dying for-and some betrayals cut deeper than any blade. From server rooms to safe houses, from encrypted files to explosive confrontations, "The Blackout Protocol" is a heart-pounding thriller that asks: In a connected world, who controls the switch that turns out the lights? Some codes are meant to be broken. Others will break you first. Enter at your own risk. The blackout is coming.

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.

Beneath the ruins of an abandoned orphanage, they discover a secret government experiment-CANDOR-where children subjected to psychological trauma were studied and controlled. As Evelyn's memories return, she confronts Silas, the boy she left behind in the fire, now a vengeful killer who uses fire and silence as his twisted language. The Echo Killer's deadly game leads Knox and Evelyn into a race against time aboard a subterranean train carrying lost children, survivors of the experiment, where truths about betrayal, survival, and memory ignite in a final, explosive confrontation. In the aftermath, Evelyn and Knox confront the scars left by trauma and cover-up, striving to break the cycle of silence and bring justice to forgotten victims.

Vicious Fangs (Mystic Bonds #1) | COMPLETED by SkylerChase29

❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.
