Sugar Coated

An unhealthy addiction to sugar cubes, a deep-seated fear of water, and universal luxury—they were the simple things that made up 18-year-old Brynn's Utopian existence. Why, then, was her perfect life also plagued with unanswered questions?
Like every other resident of the planet Halcyon, Brynn's home provided everything she needed, money was unheard of, and life was perfect. But unlike the rest of Seaside's residents, Brynn had questions. Why couldn't people leave the city? Why did the ocean fill everyone with terror? Who were the Workers? Not only was Brynn curious where others were compliant, but she suffered from chronic nightmares of an angelic woman torturing her for information she didn’t possess. These were more than just figments of her imagination, though; they were memories of things that never happened.
When Brynn meets Jonah, a brilliant, library-dwelling boy who shares her questions and her curiosity, they formulate a plan to find answers. Somewhere, the perfect veneer of Halcyon's instant gratification hid a city that only Brynn knows about—a city she and Jonah are determined to find. But will finding the city give them answers, or simply uncover the horrific truth behind the perfection?

Catching June
Pretty much anyone would agree that Lukas Leighton is a hot commodity. Well, anyone with a pulse that is. Not only does Lukas Leighton star in TV’s most popular crime drama Forensic Faculty, but he’s the most eligible bachelor in Hollywood. Granted, it is well known that his morals are not exactly up to par, but with a face like his who cares about morals right?
So what happens when June Laurie, a sixteen year old, Mormon, high school student from Simi Valley, California who looks like a walking, talking Silent Film star lands a role on Forensic Faculty and finally gets to meet the star of her dreams? Despite the warnings of her Grandmother/Agent and her best friend Joseph who just happens to be secretly in love with June, she dives head first into the world of Hollywood, hardly stopping to take a step back and assess if Lukas Leighton is really the type of boy she wants to be involved with. Ultimately it’s up to June to decide if her religious beliefs are more important than the acceptance of her new Hollywood circle of friends.

With The Squad pressing in on her and some major raids right around the corner what's a closet gamer to do?
