The Society by Dean Murray
Skye is part of the Society, the hi-tech, nanite-endowed group responsible for making sure that the millions of surviving people—grubbers—are confined to the ancient, decaying cities where they can be watched to ensure they aren't redeveloping the weapons technology that came so close to extinguishing life on the planet.
When the Society's monitoring programs pick up troubling developments in one of the grubber cities, Skye is ordered in to deal with the man responsible, but what—and who—she finds once she arrives will change everything.
Cerulean by Anna Kyss
Chey's ancestors moved into their ocean refuge to protect themselves; instead, the waters have slowly taken her people, one-by-one. Chey's attempts to survive ultimately lead to a forbidden encounter with a kind outsider, Jesse. The only problem? His existence shouldn’t be possible.
The McCall Initiative by Lisa Nowak
In 2063, climate change has devastated the US and forced the Pacific Northwest to secede. Now Cascadian citizens are disappearing as rich Americans buy their way past the closed border. When Piper’s family vanishes, she vows to save them—even if she has to start a revolution to do it.
Blemished by Sarah Dalton
Below average and imperfect in a world of stunning clones, Mina Hart is denied an education, a normal life, and a child — but when she meets a new friend's mysterious brother, she finds herself willing to share a dangerous secret...
Gone by Christine Kersey
When 16-year-old Morgan finds herself in a parallel world where it's illegal to be overweight, she struggles to find her way home before she becomes trapped there forever.
Romy by Nirina Stone
In the year 2250, life in Apex is built on classification systems. The rich Prospo live a lavish life in skyscrapers. Poor Citizens live underground and Soren terrorists are a threat that no one wants to contend with, least of all young, healthy women that are used solely for breeding. Women like Romy.
Escape by Inna Hardison
Meet Amelia, raised in the safety of a Replenisher compound, a protectorate for the few Alliance females who can bear children. In two months, she is supposed to choose a mate and begin her duties, except it doesn't happen that way.
Lush by S.L. Baum
Bluebell has spent the last twelve years of her life at Training Tech, the government-run boarding school all children are required to attend. Now she's 17, and fully prepared for Incorporation; a time when females & males are allowed to mingle again, for the first time since they were toddlers. It is also the day she must endure Citizen Branding - the mandatory searing of a mark into her flesh.
Tainted by Alexandra Moody
Elle Winters lives in a fallout shelter plagued by chilling secrets and mysterious disappearances. She would never dare to voice the forbidden questions that linger on her lips. But, when the wrong person is taken she will risk everything to uncover the truth.
Outside by Shalini Boland
A pulse-pounding dystopian tale set in post-apocalyptic Britain: Riley has always wondered what lies beyond the high-security perimeters of her community. But when tragedy forces her into the outside world, she can’t believe what awaits her.

Buyer beware
Every one of these books is the first book of a series. I read one before realizing it was just the beginning of a series. Then realized, by going to the end of each, they are all book 1s. What I read was decent, but I was of four but my discovery.

Fractured worlds review
A combination of futuristic views of first books in the series of 10 different stories. Some were absolutely believable and so well written I grabbed the next one in the series. Some were lacking a bit. I have individually reviewed each here.
The society by Dean Murray: honestly I had to reprogram my brain to read this or catch on to what was going on with this book. It’s definitely a futuristic setup and all. I actually enjoyed it once I got going. Apparently, it continues and it leaves it at an intriguing spot where I want to go and grab it but I will continue with the books in this series. Not much swearing, fairly clean. Well done.3.5
Cerulean by Anna Kyss: I LOVED this story. I really enjoyed this retelling of the little mermaid. It’s way more believable and incredible. I could totally see this story as a movie. I so want to read more but we’ll see. 4.5
The McCall initiative by Lisa Nowak: Again I had to adjust my brain to the futuristic stuff I was reading. It’s really good. Well written and I love the characters. I’m looking into the next book if that tells you how interested in it I am. 4.5
The blemished by Sarah Dalton: This one was really interesting. I love the abilities of the “tarnished” or unperfect people. It had an underlined feel of self- image within this story. It was a bit on the weird side but I really enjoyed it. 4
Gone by Christine Kersey: This was a fascinating story. I have often thought of parallel worlds and having a twin in it. I have even written a tween story with it. I was so into the book I hated the end. Yet I get it. My daughter was even mad she had been listening as well and was mad when it just ended. LOL! Well, the ploy worked because I just got the second book. 5
Romy by Nirina Stone: This book grabbed my attention fast! It was interesting and believable in a futuristic way. I like how it ended with hope. I like the having your eyes open to the wrongness of what is acceptable around us. I enjoyed it. 4.5
Escape by Inna Hardison: So far very confusing. I also do not like the language. So much language. Okay, thank goodness there was no “f” bombs just a lot of cussing from guards. Now, beyond that, the story had peaks but it was so slow my ears kind of went on auto. I sort of started following the story just before it ended. Will I go to the next book? No. 2.5
Lush by s.l. Baum: This is an interesting book 1 in this particular series. I now understand why as an author you need conflict. You cannot have a perfect book, perfect people, perfect looks etc. IT”S BORING! You're always wondering where the bad is lurking, or where the imperfection is. I almost skipped this book but I wanted, no I NEEDED conflict. Oh, I got, I could not put it down after the half to three-quarters of the story. Then the bombshell at the end (which I suspected but not to the degree) and immediately wanted the next. Is it a stand-alone story, NO! It is a series and leaves you wanting the next. 4
Tainted by Alexandra Moody: WOW! Hooked from the start. Absolutely riveting. I wanted more and knew it was going to end before I got answers. However, it was so well written, I want more and will grab the next book Talented. You know the phrase “Curiosity killed the cat?” Nope, it sends you somewhere new and exciting in search of the boy she only just discovered she loves before he’s taken. 5
Outside by Shalini Boland: Um interesting. I liked certain parts. Other parts seemed a bit of a messed up, confusing mess. did not like adults choices. Flipping from adults to kids was confusing. It would make sense for a while and then I’d have to start over what was going on and where it was and who it was. I will say it was sad but nice to know what happened to Skye. 2
I added all the numbers and divided by 10 to get an average of 3.95 so I gave it a 4 star

Reading and reviewing books
This collections of stories was fantastic to read. The only problem is I want them all to continue so I can finish each story all the way to the end.

Different point of view
I thought that the different type of dystopian worlds was interesting. Some of the stories were a little better than others. But all in all very good read.
