Loveless

There are three things that eighteen-year-old Laney knows for sure: One, love does not exist anymore. Two, hate still exists. Three, her people need love to survive.

Laney was only five when hate destroyed the world. She was five when her mother was killed for stepping in a field of wildflowers. And she was five when she was taken here, to the Dome, a world where smiles and laughter and tears and touch have never been, and will never be.

With one final desperate attempt, Laney and seven others are sent to the world above to find love again and to bring it back before it’s too late. But the past–her mother’s death in field of wildflowers, the world being scraped to ash, the woman Laney saw with eyes brighter than the sun–is a place Laney is not sure she even wants to see.

There are 97 people left. 97 tight-lipped, gray-eyed, blank-faced people that just ARE. They go about each mirror-image day without feeling because this is the way to survive–hate is dangerous, and love is dangerous, so they live somewhere in between. But when Laney discovers that one of their own has learned how to hate, the 97 remaining realize one simple, terrifying thing: love must be vital to humanity’s survival. But love was lost a long time ago, and now, it’s not even a memory.

Set just 50 years in the future, Loveless turns the contemporary love story upside-down with an all-too-real story of a world once destroyed by hate trying desperately to put itself back together again, with love as the final piece.

Fearless

People say fear is only an illusion—a trick of the mind, the product of our own making. But to eighteen-year-old Laney, fear is the only thing that stands in the way of everything she has ever wanted.

Time is running out. There is no Dome anymore. No gray, underground world that was governed by a man who taught people that love was just a story from the past. There are only the stairs, the door, and the world they escaped to. There are trees, and canyon walls, and wind, and color—so much color. There are people, eighty-eight of them, who need to learn to love if they are going to survive.

And there is him. 

He is just like the rest of them—gray eyes, tight skin wrapped around white bones—with one difference: He’s changed. Hate reached inside of him and wrapped itself around his heart, and he let it. But he’s so good at putting on an act, so good at pretending to be who he used to be, that even she doesn’t notice. And when people start disappearing, one by one, there is only one thing Laney knows is as real as the world around her:

fear.

Fearless is the thrilling second book in the Loveless series, a young adult phenomenon that blurs the line between this world and the world in the book. 

Pointless

THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN TWO WORLDS: THE ONE INSIDE THE DOME, AND THE ONE OUTSIDE THE DOOR.

Ever since she was five, Laney has wanted the world outside the door. She thought it was finally theirs, had clutched the trees and the sun and the air with her own two hands and held on with everything.

But it slipped.

Now she’s back in the Dome, the silence and gray so stifling she almost can’t concentrate on Mr. Dabir’s most disturbing game yet. A game that brings back moments of her past and tears them apart. A game that makes her second guess who her friends are, and who are only players.

As everything falls into place—Branch and the others still tightly shut out, and the shell of who Nash once was tightly shut in—Mr. Dabir prepares for the Dome to be his forever.

But information escapes, something that slips through the cracks in the cold stone walls and makes Laney question everything she thought she knew about love:

Mr. Dabir’s past might not be loveless after all.

Suddenly the line between the two worlds is blurred and it’s hard to tell where the game stops and reality starts. Laney was given the rules, she knows the prize.

But is winning everything she thought it was?

Pointless is the startling final book in the Loveless series, a young adult phenomenon that blurs the line between this world and the world in the book.
