A century after acid rain drove humanity into the mountains, Lexi’s relationship with Aron is under strain. As they struggle to mend it, her teenage sweetheart, Marcus returns, bringing Mae, the bully who made Lexi’s childhood a misery. Seeing them together feels like a betrayal, especially as Lexi’s feelings for him still burn beneath the surface.

Becoming a ranger has always been Lexi’s dream, but Aron believes it’s too dangerous. Now, she must decide whether to follow her heart or obey his wishes and risk losing him.

Marcus claims he still loves her. But how can he when he remains loyal to Mae?

As the rangers prepare to face the enemy beyond the mountain, Lexi finds herself torn between love, rivalry, and survival. Can her heart survive this fractured world?

    Toxic (Kindle Edition)
    by Karen J. Mossman
    An apocalyptic fiction romance, that has a unique premise. Containing some elements of H. G. Wells the Time Machine. This book shows some advance in the lore. That the idea that we polluted our environment beyond human compacity is interesting. That natures response is a plant of phenomenal properties is hopeful. The resilience of humanity shows that division even affect this dark future.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love in A Dystopian Society
    Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2019

    Electric Eclectic Books offers a unique collection of novelettes and I have read many of them. Their latest offerings are the same story by two of their authors, one is an adult version and the other a romantic version. The less graphic version of Toxic: An Electric Eclectic Book by author Karen Mossman takes a softer look at a dystopian society where humans, now known as Maloks, have been forced to live inside a mountain called Mt. Elta. Due to extreme carelessness, Earth has been reduced to a polluted ruin.
    Lexi lives in a world of rules designed to keep the Maloks safe. However, there are some who have disobeyed those rules, Outcasts, and become addicted to a substance called Dozax made from a plant called Terra. Once caught they were sent away by the governing committee to the Outlands. The plant has amazing healing properties, but the “outcasts” use it for recreational purposes, eventually becoming hooked on it. Despite the dangers of the world outside the mountain Lexi loves to venture out.
    Lexi is a medic, but she wants a more adventurous role as a ranger. However, her boyfriend Aron doesn’t believe she is strong enough to fulfill the duties of a ranger. Aron is a ranger himself, and while he loves Lexi, he treats her like a child. Their relationship is unsatisfying for Lexi. She hungers for passion, but Aron is a boring lover. She dreams of a friend from her youth, Marcus, who has gone to live elsewhere. Though they only shared one kiss, he excited her. Lexi regrets not telling Marcus how she felt.
    Lexi is also different from other Maloks. Born with blue eyes, doctors predicted she would go blind. However, an operation saved her sight. Lexi is also a sensitive; she is often aware of things others aren’t. Because of her differences, she is bullied by a girl named Mae when she is a child. Marcus encourages her to be brave and confident.
    When Lexi enters the Ranger training program surprises begin. Marcus is back as a Commander and he is assisted by her old nemesis, Mae. Heartbroken to see them as a couple Lexi resigns herself to the loss of her past relationship.
    When the Maloks locate the hiding place of the Outcasts a battle ensues. This is the most exciting part of the book. During the fighting, Lexi learns how strong she is. She finds out that things are not always what they appear at first glance and people can change.
    This is a sweet love story wrapped in the tragic consequences of a world population that ignored the warning signs of disaster. I’d love to see a sequel to this story.

    Very well written novelette of romance and survival in another time. I always marvel how some authors can bring to life characters and surroundings is a world that exists only in their mind. A recommended read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Butterfly Bridge Reviews. A amazing story
    Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2019
    This is a very gripping book of past and present love, betrayal, struggles and victories.
    What one woman does to show to her partner and friends let a lone herself what she is truly made of.
    She has suffered mental abuse but is stronger then they think.

    It shows you things can change, so can people and that not everything as it may appear at first glance. So don't be to hasty in your choices you make because you could be making a dreadful mistake.

    I recommend this short story. it truly is worth the read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good Dystopian Novella
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019
    A very well written dystopian novella with a good storyline. The strong willed Lexi tries to join the Ranger Program. She has to deal with the struggles of love and betrayal. The best part of the story is the battle with the Outcasts. An enjoyable short read that I would highly recommend.
