It's really intense and mature, you wont find any dreaded love triangles or instant love here Lauren, just action and incredible world building.

Gritty, sassy and you'll fall in love with a talking cactus that is the heroines inner voice of reason.<br /><br />I can't wait to see what you think of it Paula. I might even reread that one soon too.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-10374362439695764992014-12-03T03:22:17.587+11:002014-12-03T03:22:17.587+11:00I found the same Jeann, but it was actually Harris...I found the same Jeann, but it was actually Harrison who intrigued me most.

I've never read that one, but might hunt down a copy. The third person narrative lets you see the bigger picture of what's going on and it's frightening. You can see with governments trying to implement blocking websites and seeing what we're looking at, we're not far off it at all are we.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-76420780536921221762014-12-03T03:16:01.442+11:002014-12-03T03:16:01.442+11:00If you enjoy the darker side of YA Sarah, you'...If you enjoy the darker side of YA Sarah, you'll love this one.

It kind of reminds me of The Handmaid's Tale (what with the Pop Con regulating who's born and who isn't) and I'm sort of glad that its written in third person instead of just Benson Mack's view. I bet it really shows how society operates in these sort of times (which aren't far off from our own futures). By the way, is the giveaway US only or international?mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16251168623940451456noreply@blogger.com
