Review
Evie is 17 years old and grieving for her Mum. She is living with her Aunt Miriam, her Mum’s twin sister, when strange things start happening to her body. Why is she suddenly so fast and strong?
Evie finds out that her DNA has been manipulated as a result of a decade old experiment that went wrong. She is now one of the ‘select’ and, whether she likes it or not, she has to fight to the end. In the midst of all this chaos there is Jamie, Evie’s first crush.
There is something for everyone in this book, mystery, science fiction, super natural, romance and a couple of great fight scenes as Evie struggles to contain her emotions.
Full of excitement and mystery from the very first chapter, this will suit anyone who enjoyed Divergent and I can’t wait for the next instalment, as I fell in love with these characters and couldn’t stop reading until the very last page.
I highly recommend this book for Year 9 & up.
