Cloud Nine

Perfect high-tension sci-fi romance for fans of The 100
Most kids dream of being accepted into the Clean Air Development program. The chance to live on the government's teen-only Cloud Nine colony means ditching the protective gear and experiencing real sunlight, and that's just for starters.

Only Ally Ramsey isn't like other kids. She loves Ground Level. She intends to stay there below the blackened clouds, making a difference where it matters. Too bad the government doesn't care about her plans. Before she can say, "I didn't even apply," she's shipped off to Cloud Nine to research ways to fix the environment below.
Ally thinks something is wrong up there in the sky. She has no idea how wrong it actually is, or that she's wedged herself into the center of danger even her self-defense training and scientific mind may not be able to get her out of. If she fails to expose what's really happening and stop it, those closest to her could die.
