From Goodreads: What would you be willing to sacrifice for a perfect life?
We had lost everything. We were desperate and all looked to our officials to help us, to save us from ourselves.
The Supremacy stepped in, seemingly coming out of nowhere. They were a government constructed task force set up to rebuild life and prosperity. They gave us homes, they gave us food, but they wanted something priceless in return.
We were the beginning, the first batch. We were the testers.
This book captured my interest from basically page one. And the twists and turns were kind of amazing. Like, totally not what I expected amazing. I feel like after reading a ton of YA Dystopia, truly unexpected plot twists are rare finds for me lately, but Megan White managed to twist the hell out of that plot, in a really good way. I can’t say much without giving stuff away, but wow. I was seriously blown away by some of the twists she created, and I really loved the main character Erin (Rin).
Basically, there was only one thing keeping me from giving this a complete five stars: The Love Interest. I will try to be vague, but this is just one of those things that didn’t make sense to me. I kind of saw it coming, but I assumed it would take much longer, for a lot of reasons that you need to read the book to understand. But for it all to happen so quickly, without a real, gripping reason for it to simply didn’t jibe with me.
Overall, this was an awesome story, one that I cannot wait to get more of! I will be waiting rather impatiently for the sequel.
