Everyone knows about the monsters.  The ones who lurk beneath the surface of the Earth, in the darkest corners and the darkest crevices, leaking into the daylight to snatch the hearts of their victims.
These are the monsters eighteen-year-old Crew has signed up to kill.  By joining the Heartless, the most vicious military sect in the nation, he's agreed to go underground, into the miles-long tunnels and caves, to hunt the monsters that few people have truly ever seen.
Monsters like seventeen-year-old Britta.  Roaming the caves below ground, hiding from the Heartless and doing what she can to survive.  Because if she can't find a way to steal a human heart by her eighteenth birthday, her life will end.
But when Crew and Britta cross paths their lives are suddenly thrown upside down as they unwittingly stumble right into the arms of their enemies.  Each with their own secret that could break their worlds; a secret that could kill Crew's career, and a secret that could snap their fragile trust.  That Crew, a member of the Heartless, has never had the guts to kill.  And that Britta, slowly winning the heart of the only human she's ever known, has taken more lives than he could possibly imagine.All Rights Reserved

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.

The Secrets of the Outpost by StefanodeSiena

Get away! Get help! Her brain was shouting at her. After a moment, she activated the opening command. She couldn't leave him there alone. She couldn't... The doors opened again. Blue eyes stared at her from the impenetrable darkness. In the deafening silence, she finally began to scream. In a research base on an inhospitable planet, thirty people live and work in dire conditions. They all have ambition, dreams, and secret they brought along from distant Earth. The facility will close in one month. One of the scientists is found dead under suspicious circumstances and in five days a spaceship will come carrying a rescue team to evacuate all personnel. But five days is a long time. Shynar, the base commander, launches an investigation that will lead her to a mysterious killer. Someone isn't who they claim to be, and between clues and false leads, Shynar and her team--hunted by a dark, unsettling shadow--will need all their capabilities in a race against the clock to find out the truth and the secrets of the outpost. Five days to survive or be killed...

Tempris by StephieFisher

[Watty's Shortlist & WATTPAD PICKS -- Up and Coming List 06.07.2018] Now Available on Amazon!!! His hands moved down to cradle her neck. "I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.

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
