The Story...
In Hex, we meet two siblings called Wraith and Raven, not their real names. They are the product of living in the 23rd century somewhere in the States. However, the States is not where the story takes place, the stage of the story is London. Perhaps now is the time to tell you a little about the title... what is the Hex? Imagine having a Hex gene... a mutant gene that allows you incredible control of computers, and I don't just mean giving you quick fingers on the Keyboard, no, More...

The only reason I picked up this book was because the author's last name was Lassiter, like the most amazing police officer on TV (from the show Psych, which is an amazing show, go watch it).
I was definitely impressed. The plot and setting were AMAZING. If the 23rd and 24th centuries are going to be like this, technology wise, I want to go live there now. I would love to have my own flitter, and live in the heights of one of those tall sky-scrapers. And of course, I would want to be a Hex. More...

Raven has mutant Hex-genes that enable her to be perfectly in tune with any computer. She's better, faster and more efficient than the best hacker, making her illegal, and very dangerous. She's helping her brother White to find their sister, Rachel, and that means going to the place of certain death, the CPS's lab. The CPS had the legal right to dispose of anyone suspected of having the Hex gene. That means if she get's caught, White will not lose just one but even two younger sisters. On their

An incredibly solid book for not only a first book, but also from such a young author.
Quite enjoyable though it took me half the book to be convinced that it really might end up enjoyable. The characters tend toward the two dimensional which makes them a bit harder to like. But they are all anti-heroes anyway so the liking doesn't really happen until much later in the book.
Decent quick sci-fi with quite a few female lead rolls. Always a bonus.

Ripping action and great characters. I suspect the YA genre is full of unique snowflake loners and a short description of Raven places her firmly in the black-clad, loud music listening, crotchety loner camp but she's more than that, intriguing and capable and and hard, able to learn - human skills as well as technical skills - and not simply a soft inside protected by a hard shell. Keen to get my hands on the next book.

I picked Hex up at the library when I was searching for another book entirely. The cover caught my attention, and after I read the back of the book I thought I would give it a try. I'm glad I did! I can't believe the author was only seventeen when she wrote this! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

One of the best teenage books. The voice takes you away from the reality of our mundane lives and transports us to another time, place, and perception. The evidence of how wondrous the writing became has developed two more sequels. Fill your demons with faith and pick up a copy.

I was just walking through the library, in search of a book, when I desided to take a chance: I grabed the first book that stood out to me. They say don't judge a book by its cover, but I a, sure glad I did :)

Interesting premise of people that are able to communicate with technology. I will hold final judgement until the end of the trilogy.

I don't remember much about this book, but I do know that I liked it, and that I wanted to read the sequels.

This trilogy is just great. I've read all three books several times now, and am in the middle of another read-through. Compelling characters, government-conspiracy element, political themes of eugenics/disability, thrilling action with adept pacing. And written when the author was 17, no less. A fast, enjoyable read. On a virgo note, the number of typos in the paperback editions of all three books in the trilogy drives me NUTS--there are easily over ten in each book-- Get a competent proof-reade

So Raven's a bit of a Mary Sue. So what? This is a totally thrilling adventure that sweeps you away. The worldbuilding is great, the characters aren't that flat, and the writing's a lot better than Christopher Paolini's (who happens to be in his twenties now, while this book was written when the author was 17).

This book was awsome! I loved the plot and the charecters. It was perfect: Raven's attitude and ability, Wraith's planning, and the setting: 24th century London.

These books aren't so much dystopias as set in a vaguely depressing future. Which is basically the same thing. Not really, though.
