Sixteen-year-old Riley is fortunate to have been born on the right side of the fence. But her life of privilege comes crashing down when someone breaks through the Perimeter and murders her sister. She forsakes her own safety to go in search of the killer. Luc decides to go with her otherwise she’ll be dead before she’s past the security gate. But what awaits her outside is more unbelievable than she ever expected.

Cut to the present day where Eleanor's world is falling apart. This time next year, civilisation won't be quite so civilised . . .

Mina keeps a dangerous secret which she never thought she could share until she meets Angela on her first day at St Jude's School. But their friendship is soon complicated by Angela’s adoptive brother Daniel. Mina finds herself drawn to his mysterious powers and impulsive nature.

Allusive Aftershock — Susan Griscom

What happens when a major earthquake changes life as you know it and the boy you thought you hated ends up saving you? Three times!

Courtland Reese is the guy everyone hates and makes fun of because … well, he is weird. He communicates with animals. Strange or interesting, seventeen-year-old Adela Castielle can’t quite figure out, but when he saves her from being trampled by her own horse, she begins to understand him a little better and wants to learn more about him.

But, Max—her best friend/dream guy/someday-to-be-her-husband-only-he-doesn’t-know-it-yet—hates Courtland with a passion. Adela wants to know why, except neither boy is talking.

When Max leaves her stranded in his parents' wine cave with his worst enemy, Courtland, after what the experts are calling a “megathrust” earthquake, Adela starts to question her loyalty to Max as steamy kisses in a dark damp cellar only fuel her emotions with more conflict.

But does she really have time to worry about that when fire, destruction and mayhem surround her?

We Are The Few — Miranda Stork

Freda is a survivor.

But so is everyone out in the wastes. When the Illness and the Big Hit came, millions perished. Only those strong enough to fight can continue to live.

Travelling through a broken Yorkshire, Freda finds other lost souls like herself. A dying woman searching for answers. And a man still making up for his parents’ deaths.

But her journey only has one destination. And this time, she might not survive.

Heaven — Julie Elizabeth Powell


There was nothing left.

I looked at the landscape, unable to miss its barren coldness; one that had been caused by the insatiable appetites of those in power.

Walking along the white stretch of road, white due to the continual fall of snow, I saw no-one, as usual.

Not that I expected to see anyone. For I’d been walking for what felt like forever, and as yet found not another soul.

Was I the only one left?

And really, what was the point if I were?

And why had I survived?

Nightwind's Shadow — Cherime MacFarlane

People must band together to survive a world of mutant predators. Her people herd cattle and migrate. His have reclaimed an old cliff dwelling.

Nightwind's family and JoJo's have chosen far different paths. The rules and ideologies are incompatible. Her people are prospering, which has created a problem for Nightwind's tribe. He must range farther to hunt.

JoJo is on foot and running for her life. Her partner left her defenseless for the rats. The solitary hunter and his dog, Mouse, have a shelter. There isn't room enough for three. He knows where they can take cover. If Nightwind lets her see his find, she can never go home. The rats are coming. He can't let her die; JoJo must become his shadow.

The Tube Riders: Underground — Chris Ward

Marta Banks is a girl with an identity. She is a Tube Rider, a girl who risks death every day in the abandoned underground stations of London.

It doesn’t matter that her parents are dead. It doesn’t matter that her beloved brother has disappeared. It doesn’t matter that in the dystopian chaos of London in 2075, in the shadow of the towering perimeter walls, she has no future.

She has her friends.

Together, the Tube Riders are a family, united against the brutality of their lives, but when they discover a dark government secret that could bring war to Britain and end decades of oppression, everything they hold dear is threatened.
Now they are running for their lives, hunted by genetically engineered killing machines that will stop at nothing to catch them.

The Huntsmen are coming….

Christmas Past — Julie Elizabeth Powell

What was Christmas? How did it start? And why was it now banned? Why had the Elders decided it would only cause trouble, that its roots were based on something that only caused wars...those that had destroyed the Old Earth?

The Tin of Honey — Holly Barbo

Life is tough for Zoe in the new world. As a small child, her voice can never be heard and she may as well be invisible.

Except as a slave.

Remotely Unplugged — Andrea Perno

Technology is all around us. Humanity is becoming hopelessly bound by it. What if a society were built exclusively with dependence on technology? An existence where all the information you need is literally plugged into your head? Sarah finds herself within this world, craving for change, but all she sees is a mindless compliance to the technology around her. Her unwillingness to follow the status quo has landed her in trouble and there are those who have had enough of her meddling. In an effort to correct Sarah’s mal-compliance issues, she is taken to a remote facility to be “unplugged.” “Reset” in an effort to make her conform to the world around her. But hers is not a simple reset and what she discovers once she arrives will not only put her in mortal danger, but will also unravel a truth far beyond her expectations.

I Hope You Find Me — Trish Marie Dawson

Life for Riley ends when her young children die in her arms, victims of a global viral outbreak that claims the lives of everyone she’s ever known. Left to fend for herself with only a dog as her companion, she sets out on a journey to find others, leaving notes everywhere she goes, hoping that one day someone will come looking for her.

When Riley meets the handsome yet mysterious Connor on the streets of Downtown San Diego, they form a bond unlike either has experienced before. When the things that go bump in the night turn out to be more than nightmares, the trio sets off for the mountains in search of an isolated resort where they can hunker down, away from the ominous shadows of the dead city streets.
The peace and tranquility of the woods isn’t enough to keep the darkness away for long though, and soon Riley and Connor are forced to accept that the world, and the few people left alive in it, will never be the same. The shadows of their past may haunt them forever, threatening to destroy what little dreams they have left of a future, unless they fight to stay in the light and never lose their hope.
