A gripping and absorbing read. The voice of the main character is incredibly strong. If you like dystopian, you'll enjoy this one.

message 4: by Vicky

Vicky Oh, that'd be perfect!
Me and one of my blogger friends are hosting an event next month: our aim is to read as many of our review books as we can. It runs from 1-31 March and we're going to host mini-challenges as well, so we're looking for authors who would like to appear on our blogs with a giveaway.

I'd love to review it for you but I'm taking a break from ebooks at the moment so I accept paperbacks only.


Savita Kalhan Lovely to meet you too!
By the way, thanks for adding my book to your to-be-read list. I won't bug you, but if you're interested in hosting a giveway on your blog with a review/interview then I would be happy to oblige. If not, then enjoy the book anyway - watch the video for an idea of how scary it might be for you...
