  • ✓★ Match Point- Lyle Griffith is a veteran player in a virtual reality game popular among city youths.

  • ✓★ A Rose by One Name - Following a car accident, Rose awakens in a stasis tube in an unfamiliar doctor's office.

When the club grows impatient with his progress, they start using less friendly methods to steal the artifact.

Afraid to be discovered as an apparent murderer, he wishes that all evidence of the crime would be erased and, by some miracle, the body, blood, knife, and any evidence of the man's existence are gone. Now Reese tries to learn about his power, others like him with the same ability, and the beings who want to erase him.

  • Safe in Neverland - Dylan cares for little in this world, not school, not his parents, only his little sister Abby. One night while he's reading her the story of Peter Pan, a light from outside her window pulls the two siblings up towards the sky where they find a world that looks amazingly like Neverland. A fairy whom Dylan refers to as Peter tells them that he only brings the most miserable children to live in his paradise, but neglects to tell them about the evil lurking deep in the woods...

  • Passive Aggression - Ky was born on an island where teenage boys are made to fight each other for the adults' entertainment.

When he begs her to help take down the plant from the inside, she reluctantly agrees and begins to learn how far she would go to find a mate.

5. Fantasy Feral
