Temptation by jezxzica

He reaches into his collar with two fingers and tugs it away from his sweaty neck. I pry into his presence until I can't any longer. He understood every damn word I just said to him, so his terrified eyes are piercing into mine. "What on Earth are you doing Adira?" he struggles to ask me. The fight against this gift is similar to the fight against mind control, except you have to battle your own urge for relief as well. After all this time I've spent seducing him, he should know exactly what I am now. -------------------------- 2102 is quiet the leap in time. Intergalactic travel, aliens, and even powers are what the world becomes known for. There is still a normal, functioning society to account for though. One ruled by an unfair leader that most of the country detests. When Adira Stefano finally gets her long awaited gift, she fears being forced into hiding. However, when she discovers someone that has faith in her, she realizes that true change is her new daunting temptation.

The Knife Thrower by MarshmallowSky18

Poverty has plagued Australia for the last 200 years, turning the once prosperous land of opportunity into a hostile desert of severe oppression. When new laws are made to further suppress any uprising, the population are divided, fighting each other for what they believe is right. Can Kyra Avedel save her little brother and sister from a future as slaves, or are they all doomed? Kyra Avedel, a brave, head-strong girl who lives to provide for her family, is determined to finish school, on her terms. In her final year, when it seems that her wish of graduating will finally be granted, the law is made that Relang Citizenship will come at a cost. A cost too high for the poor. Together with Blake Anderson, a mysterious boy new to town who sees right through her tough-girl façade, and family who she's not sure she can trust, Kyra will unlock the secrets of her past to save everyone she holds dear. Haunted by fractions of memory and light: a teddy bear, a hospital room and a blue-eyed boy, she has to decide to trust what is real, to be cautious about appearances and to always watch her back. The future of everyone she loves lies on the shoulders of the girl with the messed up past and the ability to throw knives. Book 1 of The Knife Thrower. All rights reserved, copyright laws included.

In a world where the mega-corporation Nexus has seized control over every facet of society, the city of Cenopolis stands as the shining beacon of humanity's future-or so it seems. Behind the utopian facade lies a system built on manipulation, surveillance, and corruption, with the neural chip technology once hailed as the savior of mankind now acting as a tool for absolute control. Eli, Luke, and Sam, three unlikely allies from the underground resistance, know the truth about Nexus. Haunted by personal losses and driven by a desire to reclaim freedom, they embark on a dangerous mission to expose the sinister reality behind Cenopolis. But in a world where power is absolute and rebellion is a death sentence, their journey will test their loyalty, courage, and faith in one another. As they uncover Nexus's darkest secrets, they must confront the question: Can true freedom ever be achieved, or will power always rise from the ashes?
