The System
To survive you need people watching you, following your every move. That's the only currency now: being interesting, being liked . . . And, of course, you have to update every fifteen minutes. It means everyone knows where you are, what you're doing; it means that there are no secrets . . .
Everybody watches everyone else; nothing is hidden. And for those who fail to 'update' every fifteen minutes, the consequences are deadly. Evie and Raffy may have escaped the City but they still fear for their lives. Now the only person who can help them is Frankie, a total stranger, the most popular girl in the world, watched every second by millions of people. But Frankie has other ideas . . .
And all the time, Lucas is waiting desperately for word from Evie, word that she is coming back to him. The conclusion to Gemma Malley's terrifyingly dark vision of our near future will leave you gasping for air.

This series should be read in order.
Everyone accepted that people were different physically. But inside? Inside, they were different too. You just had to know how to tell, what to look for.
Evil has been eradicated. The City has been established. And citizens may only enter after having the Evil part of their brain removed. They are labelled on the System according to how Good they are. If they show signs of the evil emerging, they are labelled a 'K.'
But no one knows quite what that means. Only that they disappear, never to be seen again . . .
A thrilling dytopian series reminiscent of Veronica Roth's Divergent series, The Killables will engross teen readers and adults alike.
