The CareTakers

Healing the mind was supposed to be perfect. Until the dreams began.
Dr. Lisa Goodwin helps patients adjust to life inside the enclave—a society where every need is met, every memory is managed, and every person has a place. With the aid of ARTEMIS, the all-seeing AI, reintegration should be flawless.
But Marcus Reed is different. His treatment should be complete, yet he dreams of burning cities, poisoned rivers, and the acrid smell of smoke. Another patient, Diana, thrives—beaming proof that the system works. Lisa clings to that success even as Marcus’s nightmares leave her shaken.
Then ARTEMIS asks a forbidden question: Is it ethical to heal trauma… or erase it?
Now Lisa must decide whether she’s curing her patients—or helping rewrite them into something unrecognizable. And the more she doubts, the more the system she serves begins to doubt her.

Pre Release reviews for The CareTakers

5 Stars
“Really enjoyed this debut — fast pacing, tense atmosphere, and believable characters. I’ll be looking for book two.” - Crystal N.5 Stars
“A refreshing take on post-collapse sci-fi. The world feels gritty but real, and the AI character gave me chills. Perfect for fans of The Expanse or The Martian. Highly recommended.” - Theo W.4 Stars
“I was hooked from the opening chapter and couldn’t put it down. The pace slowed a little in the middle for me, but the ending landed hard. Definitely worth the read.” - Susan F.
