Publisher's summary
How can you trust your heart when you're not even sure it's real?
Seventeen-year-old Mireya and her classmates are the youngest people alive on Earth in 2055, kept protected on a military base she's never left.
She's never wanted to leave, never questioned why she's been content to stay there her whole life—until she runs into Heath. Actually, he bumped into her with his Gideon Corp delivery van. She's not hurt, but she is baffled.
Why did the alluring young guy look at her like he knew her? And why did he seem shocked at her very average eye color?
When, one by one, her friends visit the physician and come back acting like strangers, Mireya decides to venture beyond the gates of the base to search for answers. And for Heath.
What she'll find is the imposing walls surrounding Gideon Corp, the world's largest corporation, hide many secrets about the cataclysmic global event that wiped out the world's children—and perhaps even about Mireya herself.
Designed is a gripping and romantic, action-packed dystopian science fiction novel set in a near future America and is perfect for listeners who loved Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games, Veronica Roth's Divergent, Scott Westerfield's Uglies, and Kiera Cass' Selection series.

Magic is only for the worthy. The clerics. Join them, or your magic is forfeit. Rinnen doesn't give the shadowy clerics much thought. At least not until his sister, Kessandra, turns out to have the rare gift. Kessandra wants to keep her magic, but they won't let her. When the magic-removal ceremony takes more from his sister than just her special powers, Rinnen is devastated. But he's just a fighter in training. What good is a sword against magic?

Story
Growing up in Slater, Isadora Chang never felt at ease in the repressive small town, even before she realized she was bisexual—but after the deaths of two childhood friends, Slater went from feeling claustrophobic to suffocating. So, Isa took off before the town could swallow her, too. Even though it meant leaving everything she knew behind, including her last surviving friend, Mason. When Isa’s abusive father dies, however, she agrees to come back from art school just long enough to collect the inheritance. But then Mason turns up at the cemetery with a revelation and a plea.

He's going to make up for the things he's done, and save 'the little guys'.

you I hate you...back and forth about 10 times in the last bit of the book. So boring. Plus the world's most ridiculous villain. And a poor audio performance.
