From Book 1:
“This book has it all—love story, good vs evil, drama, and suspense. Definitely a book you can’t put down!” – Midwest Book Review
"I've seen it compared to The Hunger Games and I'd have to agree. I can already see the movie version becoming a hit!" Amazon Reviewer
2015 Readers Favorite Gold Medal Award for best YA Dystopian
Deep inside a mountain in what used to be North America dwells the last of humanity. Welcome to the Biodome, where steel, rock and armed guards separate the privileged from the slaves.
Born and raised a slave in the Pit, Sunny O’Donnell has always accepted that she'll spend her life working to keep the Dome running and, if she lives long enough, willingly meet her end in the annual Cull when she reaches the age of thirty-five. This was the price her ancestors paid for their place inside the Biodome, the only safe haven from the global nuclear war of 2024. But when Sunny’s mother is killed in the Cull, the hopeless reality of her future becomes painfully clear.
Bereft and disillusioned, she heads down a reckless path that sets off a deadly riot in the Pit and leaves her accused of treason. Her only way of escaping public execution is to make a truce with her prison mate, who happens to be the heir to the dictatorship and hated enemy of the Pit. Now caught between two worlds on the brink of war, Sunny must weigh her own survival against risking everything to save the Pit.
S.M. McEachern delivers the action and adventure of The Hunger Games, the intrigue of The City of Ember, and the romantic notes of Les Misérables in her debut novel set in a future that is disturbingly plausible.
G Rating: no foul language, no
explicit sex, some mild violence.

Worlds Collide
(Sunset Rising Book 2)
Water washed over my face, choking me. Desperately, I
rolled onto my stomach in an attempt to keep afloat. I tried to find Jack, but
all I could see was the river ending.
How could it just end?
As I was hurled over the edge, my body dropped like a
stone. Water rained down on me as I went. I screamed, but the roar of the
waterfall overpowered my voice. Then I was plunged back into the cold, silent,
watery world.
I expected to bob to the surface, like I did the first
time I hit the water, but the current swirled around me, holding me down. I
opened my eyes and searched the murky depths for a ray of light to tell me the
direction of the surface. I wasn’t sure
which way was up, but it must be above me. That would make sense. Kicking
my legs and moving my arms, I tried to get to the surface.
The urge to breathe was overwhelming. Too late, I
realized that my screaming on the way down had pushed most of the air out of my
lungs.
I raised my arms and flapped again, propelling myself
forward. What little oxygen was left in my lungs escaped. I pulled
through the water again, my arms feeling like they had weights attached.
Reflexively, I breathed in.
Water burned its way down my throat and into my lungs. My
brain told my legs to move, to keep heading toward the surface, but all of
my muscles felt weak. Relaxed. They didn’t want to
move. I didn’t have control over my body
anymore.
With a jolt, I realized I was dying.
Regret pressed in on me heavier than the water filling my
lungs. I wasn’t ready to go yet.
The Pit still needed me… and I still needed Jack. An image of his face popped
into my head. I willed my limbs to move, to find the surface, but they wouldn’t cooperate.
A strange peacefulness came over me as I floated in my
weightless world, the image of Jack becoming a happy memory.
I closed my eyes.
