The Apex Agenda by Tracy Todd

"Goodness in Purity. Goodness in Life. Report Difference!"

In a world where the Diversity Commission imprisons anyone deemed genetically 'defective,' 15-year-old Cam narrowly escapes capture, finding sanctuary with a secret organisation who dispute the Commission's oppressive Purity Laws. There, she meets Tom, a fellow escapee, and begins to understand why the Commission hunts down anyone considered 'different'.

'Defective' is only one way of describing her genes.

Supernatural is another.

But with her new allies harbouring dangerous secrets, Cam struggles to determine who she can trust...
