S.D. Grimm
The day to open the centuries-old Dome gates and reintegrate genetically engineered people back into normal society has arrived. There's one caveat—their powers must remain suppressed.
Amidst this Project Integration Initiative, hacker Ryleigh Stevens has her whole life planned out. The plan? Prevent a second Universal Tech War in two simple steps. First, help Project Integration Phase One succeed—but not for the reason she pretends. Next, infiltrate the rebellion and sabotage Phase Two—the part that would grant people unbridled access to their superhuman abilities.
Too bad the one person who can make her plan reality is her sworn enemy. He’s dangerous. He’s Powered. And he’s the reason her brother is dead. Faced with an impossible choice, Ryleigh must decide how to do what’s right for the good of all humanity, even if it means sacrificing everything she holds dear—again.

Critic reviews
"A complex, emotionally fraught kickoff driven by moral principles and developing romance."
“Author S.D. Grimm weaves a tight web of government secrets and plot twists in her fast-paced young adult sci-fi novel Beneath False Stars.”
"S. D. Grimm’s new coming-of-age story is compelling science fiction, taking readers into a fascinating yet troubled world."
This story moves swiftly and there are enough twists and plot developments to make your head spin at times. Just when things are going to plan for the heroine, a new piece of information about the government's dark plans throws a spanner into the works.
Overall it's an enjoyable listen and the narrator does a very good job of maintaining the drama and differentiating the characters. It comes from a Christian publisher, so the romance is clean, there is no bad language nor excessive violence, but there is no Christian content either.
It is book 1 of a series so unfortunately the novel ends with a cliffhanger, leaving the listener with more questions than answers.
