Deadly Design by Debra Dockter
The emotional power of If I Stay meets the survival story of Maze Runner
Genetically engineered identical
twins Kyle and Connor McAdams were born two years apart. Their parents
figured it was safer that way, to increase their odds of survival.
Connor was born first, paving an impossibly perfect path for Kyle to
follow. He was the best at everything—valedictorian, star quarterback
etc. Kyle never thought he’d be able to live up, so he didn’t even try.
But when Connor, 18, suddenly drops dead of a heart attack, and Kyle learns of other genetically modified kids who’ve also died on their eighteenth birthdays, he’s suddenly motivated—to save his own life. Like Connor and all the rest, Kyle was conceived at the Genesis Innovations Laboratory, where the mysterious Dr. Mueller conducted experiments on them. The clock’s ticking as Kyle searches for answers: who was Dr. Mueller really, and what did he do to cause their hearts to stop at eighteen? He must unravel the clues quickly, before, he too, becomes another perfect, blue-eyed corpse.

Siren's Fury, book 2 of the Storm Siren Trilogy by Mary Weber
“I
thrust my hand toward the sky as my voice begs the Elemental inside me
to waken and rise. But it’s no use. The curse I’ve spent my entire life
abhorring—the thing I trained so hard to control—no longer exists.”
Nym risked her life to save
Faelen, her homeland, from a losing war, only to discover that the
shapeshifter Draewulf has stolen everything she holds dear. But when the
repulsive monster robs Nym of her storm-summoning abilities as well,
the beautiful Elemental realizes her war is only just beginning. Now powerless to control the
elements that once emboldened her, Nym stows away on an airship
traveling to the metallic kingdom of Bron. She must stop Draewulf. But
the horrors he’s brought to life and the secrets of Bron are more than
Nym bargained for. Then the disturbing Lord Myles tempts her with new
powers that could destroy the monster, and Nym must decide whether she
can compromise in the name of good even if it costs her very soul.
As she navigates the stark
industrial cityscape of Bron, Nym is faced with an impossible choice:
change the future with one slice of a blade . . . or sacrifice the
entire kingdom for the one thing her heart just can’t let go.

not-too-distant future where dragon wars have reshaped society, the
battle between the dragon resistance and government forces escalates in

Finally free after spending three
months locked in a secret government facility, where she was forced to
torture and assassinate dragons for the popular television series Kissing Dragons,
all Melissa Callahan wants is a quiet recovery. Hiding in an Alaskan
cave with fellow escapee Allie (known as Talker 21), Melissa does her
best to stay out of the dragon politics. However, when a group of rebels

edge of their seats in this gritty and masterful reimagining of popular
