Man created superheroes, and now they hunt them. A terror attack on London kills Britain's top geneticist and destroys life as  nineteen year old Eva Saunders knows it. Soon she is at the center of a political conspiracy, and dragged into a dangerous game of the strong vs. the weak and man vs. god . . .
    
The explosion sixty years ago separated the population into three categories: 
    
Humans - a score of 0% on the genetics scale. They have no superpower. 
    
Voids - a score of 50%. They have the potential.
    
Or the worst: Pariahs - a score of 100%. They have the power. 
    
Eva has tested as Void all her life, missing the complete Pariah gene that would grant her superpowers at a moment's notice. But people with the gene are exiled, sent to the Badlands --  known as Zone-B -- in newly imprisoned Wales as punishment for their abilities.
    
 And they're fighting back.
    
The only one to survive a Pariah attack on the British Headquarters for Genetics Screening she's recruited by the Prime Minister to work for the Humans. Tasked in aiding the secretive Detective Thomas Kingsley of the Metropolitan police in his race to catch the killers, the stakes rise and more than just a politician is on the line. 

Except Eva has her own problems, secrets hidden in her DNA, and it will push her to the very edge of the law. 

The fight for power has hit London. And it's spreading . . .

"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder. Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..." BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss... In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense. Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice.

She survived the end. But it's only the beginning. Ever escaped Earth before life, as she knows it, was wiped from the planet. She lost everything: her parents and sister. Forced to leave behind her best friend, and the two boys she loves; their fate is unknown. She's headed to a new planet, where her brother, whom she thought was dead, waits patiently for her arrival. But this new world is not what it seems and her sister's final words weigh heavily at the forefront of her mind: "your friends may be your foes and your foes may be your only chance for survival." She doesn't know who to trust, including herself. Memory reimaging has scrambled her brain, making it difficult to decipher fact from fiction. To make matters worse, as a genetically modified human and the sole woman with the ability to procreate, Ever finds herself in a unique and terrifying position. The evil corporation, Environettix wants to exploit her, and she's not the only one they are after. The other Mods from Earth have been brought to the new planet, but not for the reasons they believe. Things are spiraling out of control. Environettix is getting desperate and desperation makes people do unimaginable things. As Ever navigates her way through a labyrinth of lies, she discovers one truth to be absolute: They shouldn't be here. This planet does not belong to them, and things that don't belong, have a way of being...extinguished. *This is Book 2 in The Dissonance Series

But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end. • 4-Year Age Gap • Dual POV • Morally Grey Billionaire x sunshine Spy Reviews: Book so good made me question my past life and past choices of books -thesaphireeyez I am blown away.

Rewind: Book 1 - The Third Son by AlleyB255
24 parts Complete
In a not-so-distant future, three-quarters of the world's population have evolved into superior beings called "the dominants", endowed with extraordinary abilities such as telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, and more. However, these advanced humans are incapable of killing others. Should they attempt to do so, their highly developed nervous systems release a hormone that induces paralyzing pain throughout their bodies. The remaining quarter of the population, possessing no supernatural powers and no such killing barrier, are derogatorily referred to as "the recessives". One of the few jobs available to "the recessives" is that of executioner, as they can end lives without suffering any repercussions. They are not only scorned for their lack of physical prowess but also feared for their unrestrained capacity for murder. In the prestigious Lanes family, the father is a powerful politician, the mother a successful businesswoman, the eldest son a reliable doctor, the second son a popular police officer, and the youngest daughter a famous, talented idol. For years, no one knew they had a third son. He is Gabriel Lanes, the only "recessive" in the family. After seven years in prison for committing murder, Gabriel is determined to start anew in an unwelcoming world with a huge disadvantage. Can Gabriel catch a break, or will his dark past catch up with him? - Updates weekly on Fridays.

THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK OF A SERIES AND IT GETS PROGRESSIVELY DARKER 😈 Disclaimer : My story is inspired from Jennifer Armentrout's series Lux (basically, credits to her because this wouldn't exist otherwise). There are many differences but also several similarities. The plot isn't centered the same, either way. I just have fun writing and twisting up my favorite elements.
