Surprised how quickly I managed to finish this one, its the final week for this semester it’s been quite busy, but this is one of those books that you can’t really put down. Even though I’ve never heard of this author, the cover caught my eye and its been a great read, so here we go!
With enhanced eyesight and an uncanny ability to know the future, Tia is not your average 17 year old girl. But neither is Teig: Genetically altered to look the role, he is sent from one school to the next in search of the perfect recruits for his company. Discovering Tia creates a dilemma for Teig – report her to the company and she might be destroyed, or risk the same fate happened to him if he doesn’t. Will Tia’s premonitions let her see the future in time to change it?
I was surprised when this random book that I picked up off the shelf was very interesting, even from the first page. The fact that its almost 50 years in the future captures you’re attention, and gets you wondering as to what the author envisioned society would be like at that time. I thought the touch contract thing was a very possible idea as well as the schools and how they watch the games, it was all very realistic and made the story more interesting.
One thing that I didn’t like at points was how it switched from Teig and Tia’s point of views, but it was always in the same time frame for both of those chapters, and reading through the same dialogue I’d read through Tia’s eyes was not very fun the second time around, I had to fight the urge to skip past parts of it.
FINALLY at the ending they revealed everything and explained the things you’ve been waiting for the entire book, though it did keep me intrigued and reading more i wasn’t bored very often. After I was finished the book though, I did have an sort of unsatisfied feeling, this may have been that I wanted the romance to develop a bit further, or that Bel’Harold left so much open to happen after she finished the novel. I was unsatisfied with the ending, something was just off about it.
Either way, I enjoyed this very much so I’ll give it a 3/5. If you would like to visit the author’s website here it is http://www.avivabelharold.com/ she has 4 other books i believe. Hopefully a second one will come out for this one, there are a lot of things that could happen next.
that’s all for now, until next book -
