Happy Release Week to Breakout by A.M. Rose from Entangled Teen!
by A.M. Rose
Genre: YA Sci-fi
Release Date: June 3rd 2019
Entangled Teen
Summary:
Six days.
That’s the amount of time until Lezah’s execution.
She’ll die never knowing what got her locked up in that godforsaken prison in the first place. Her only chance of survival is to escape. Except the monitoring bracelet that digs into her wrist, the roaming AI, and the implant in her neck make freedom close to impossible.
Her best chance is to team up with the four other inmates who are determined to break out, even if one of them is beyond gorgeous, annoying—oh, and in for murder. But he has a secret of his own. One that could break Lezah if she finds out, but could also set him free.
Figuring out how to work with him and the rest of this mismatched group of criminals is the only way Lezah will survive to see the outside world again.
But nothing in this prison is as it seems. And no one.

Teaser
Heavy
footsteps echo through the hall. From the corner of my eye, two AIRS appear,
bigger than the humans they were built to resemble. Artificial Intelligent
Roaming Security marching our way means only one thing. Someone’s
time is up, and I just pray it isn’t mine. They’re all hard steel where a soft
mesh “skin” should be, with inhuman faces that are cold and unforgiving. As if
it couldn’t get any worse, these two are larger than any I’ve seen. Something
about their mechanical forms appears more menacing than ever. AIRS are the only
model of WALTER I’ve ever been afraid of. A drop of sweat slides down my
temple, but I know better than to brush it away.
My
chin trembles with the rumble in the floor from their heavy frames. They stop
at my right, in front of Twelve and Thirty-three, the girls who share the room
next to mine. Twelve’s knees shake so hard her bright red hair vibrates. A
puddle forms around Thirty-three’s feet.
No
one moves.
Or
blinks.
Or
breathes.
An
eternity later, they grab Twelve and spin her around. With a loud crack, her cheek slams into cold
concrete; red swells against her pale skin. Tears pour from her blue eyes and
slide down her freckled cheeks. She looks as scared as I feel, but I have no
right to. She’s the one with blood pooling at the corner of her mouth, with
big, scary AIRS assaulting her.
“No!”
someone down the line yells.
“Don’t.
Stop. You’re hurting me,” Twelve begs, but the AIRS don’t respond. One digs
their hand into her pocket and yanks out a fork.
Someone
gasps and jerks back, then pays the price for it with an electrical shock from
their metal wristband.
“That’s
not mine. I swear. I didn’t take it.” Twelve’s voice cuts through me like
broken glass. That’s basically what she is now. That’s what they’ll do to
her—break her into a thousand shards. She’s already as good as dead. It doesn’t
matter what number is on her bracelet, or however many days of her sentence she
had left, her expiration date is now.
