Want to see more bookish things from me? Check out my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfer...Davey Hamilton has the perfect life, so when she discovers she is a carrier for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome (HTS), she is more than surprised. Having HTS means that she will one day kill someone simply because of her genetic predisposition. Her life is completely flipped upside down when her friends and boyfriend desert her and she is uninvited from her fancy private school. That's whenFast-paced read that leaves you wanting to read the sequel--I appreciated that the voice of Davy was not too young, and not dumbed down to appear young. The action kept me on the edge, and it was difficult to put down. Major chemistry between Davy and Sean...And non-stop action scenes that keep the pages turning very quickly...will definitely read Unleashed ASAP!
This book. Is just. Its hard to form words because it is just so damn good. I am stunned. I was a little wary going into this because I had NOT enjoyed Jordans Firelight. Majas review did re-assure me to a certain degree and gave me the push I needed to finally read the book.Which I am really glad I did because otherwise I would have been missing out on a lot of awesome.The book reels you in right from the start. It has a powerful opening that makes you want to read more. You have the main

The thing is...I dont think this author is for me. She has a lovely enough writing (even though her favorite figure of speech seems to be repetition and that one never appealed to me) and this book sure was fast-paced but the charactersTHE CHARACTERS. I dont know how she managed to created something like 20+ characters but make them all weak in characterization and likeability. I mean, not to sound negative, but I HATED most of them: Tori, the phony boyfriend, Coco, Nathan, Jackson, Davys mom
"I ALWAYS KNEW I WAS DIFFERENT." I groaned out loud as I read the very first sentence of the narrative.Davy is the picture perfect spoiled, pampered princess who is firmly ensconced in her fluffy, warm cocoon of a life. It took no less than the jaws of life to knock her off the fucking pedestal on which she has planted her throne.This book suffers from two main things: one of the most unconvincing premises I have ever read in a book that aspires to be a dystopia, and a heroine with whom I
Uninvited by Sophie Jordan is a book that is a good possibility of what it would be like if we had a way to check for the "kill gene". Sure the debate between nature and nurture is going now but it would be out the window if we had the gene finder and people would be forced to be tested for it. This shows what happens to a few of these people and even if they weren't disposed to kill, the way they are treated some just might turn to killing for self defense. Great social commentary book.
