"When 17-year-old Nola Kent discovers an outsider child, she must leave the domes that shield her people and venture into the poisoned wastelands beyond… But are the survivors who live outside still human?" and this same story of the YA girl outside the dome rescued by a guy has been done how many hundreds of times before? Yawn. How i dream fo fidning an original YA story without a dumabss romance and a love griangle between girl, sweet boy, and bad boy. The problem is, almost no female YA authors have a clue how to write such a story. I know this because if they did, we'd see such stories and we almost never do.

The Tethering by Megan O’Russell
The title alone should steer you well away from this one. "Gifted with supernatural abilities, Jacob only wants to use his powers to protect Emilia, the girl he’s loved for years." And fuck the rest of the world! "But with the world of magic teetering on the brink of war, he has to fight just to stay alive… A fantasy tale that will keep you glued to the pages." Mainly because the publisher actually put glue on the pages for this very purpose. Yawn. Another sad blurb that is evidently designed to turn a person off the book rather than onto it - assuming they even do get past that god-awful title.
