Scars - YA Science Fiction
Charlie Dodd thought she knew what being a teenager in small-town Minnesota was about. But when she stumbles upon the strange, secretive lives of new students Seth and Hillary Feynman, her curiosity catapults her into a world of government secrets and dangerous tech that blurs the line between humanity and machine. As Charlie’s unlikely friendship with the siblings deepens, she uncovers that the very forces keeping them hidden are also working on a sinister experiment, one that may spell disaster for anyone who gets too close. Trying to protect her friends as they evade a shadowy agency with no intention of letting them escape, Charlie’s own life becomes a pawn in the high-stakes game. Set in a landscape of suspense, betrayal, and tech-fueled intrigue, Scarred is a thriller where trust is as dangerous as technology, and the only way out is through a web of secrets.
