Description
It’s the year 2125, and the gritty metropolis of Los Angeles is more divided than ever.
South of Sunset, Oleander Briggs exists in a drab reality of the Seventh Industrial Revolution and the demise of social media, where his monotonous life consists of working the factory assembly line for Fleur Industries—a mysterious company that sells flowers preserved in gold. His future, like so many of his generation, is bleak, but Oleander dreams of more.
When he unexpectedly catches the attention of Mr. Fleur—Fleur Industries’ elusive owner—his luck changes as he’s offered a job to work directly with the Fleur family at their palatial estate, North of Sunset. There, he encounters eccentric characters, extravagant wealth, and youthful beauty the likes of which he has never seen. The Fleur family may be his ticket to a better life—but at what cost?
North of Sunset asks how we exist in a world where one is forced to choose between living in luxury or the luxury of living.

I was completely captivated by the story telling in this novel. The way the author brought the characters to life and created such a vivid world was truly remarkable. The character development was awesome which is rare to find in a science fiction book. A must read for all ages. Definitely recommending for my next book club.
Kathryn M, Reviewer
Haley Ahern wrote this perfectly and enjoyed the scifi element to this book, it uses the future element in a unique way and worked with the metropolis element that I was looking for. The overall concept was what I wanted and was engaged with the characters and their world. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and thought it was a overall great plot for them. I can't wait to read more from Haley Ahern as this was really well done.
