Defects: A YA Dystopian Romance (Book 1)

★★★★★ "If you loved the Divergent or Hunger Games type of books then you will love this story too." ~ Rabid Reader

I'm Em, your not-so-typical Dream Traveler. Power? What power? The universe played a cruel joke on me, leaving me as a Dream Traveler with none of the perks. But don't think for a second that I'm sitting around feeling sorry for myself. No way. I'm on a quest, and it's not for the faint-hearted.

A world that's pristine on the surface but rotten underneath. That's my reality. Or at least, it was until the whole façade started crumbling. Now, I'm adrift in this chaotic sea, grasping for anything real.

It gets weirder. Digging through layers of deception, I stumble into the shadows and guess who I find? Rogue Vider. Yeah, the guy everyone thought was history, but here he is, alive and as cryptic as ever.

That's when the truth hits me like a freight train. It's wild, mind-bending stuff, the kind that makes you question everything. My reality shattered. Check. My perception of the world turned upside down. Double check.

Now, I'm stuck in this tangle of lies and betrayal. The choice is brutal: rebel against the dystopian society that's been spoon-feeding me lies, or abandon the people I hold dear.

So brace yourself for Defects, the first book of a dystopian saga that will mess with your head. It's a journey through a twisted world, where secrets lurk in every corner and nothing is as it seems. Follow me, Em, as I fight through the darkness, uncovering truths and battling to make my own mark in this upside-down world. Trust me, it's a ride you won't forget.

Welcome to my world, a dystopian mess where everything you know is just smoke and mirrors. Picture this...
