Linked (Linked #1) by Imogen Howson - Starting September 20th 2013

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Elissa used to have it all: looks, popularity, and a bright future. But for the last three years, she’s been struggling with terrifying visions, phantom pains, and mysterious bruises that appear out of nowhere.

Finally, she’s promised a cure: minor surgery to burn out the overactive area of her brain. But on the eve of the procedure, she discovers the shocking truth behind her hallucinations: she’s been seeing the world through another girl’s eyes.

Elissa follows her visions, and finds a battered, broken girl on the run. A girl—Lin—who looks exactly like Elissa, down to the matching bruises. The twin sister she never knew existed.

Now, Elissa and Lin are on the run from a government who will stop at nothing to reclaim Lin and protect the dangerous secrets she could expose—secrets that would shake the very foundation of their world.

Riveting, thought-provoking and utterly compelling, Linked will make you question what it really means to be human.

Abbie and I will be reading this on September 20th 2013. Everyone Welcome ☺

Shopping done, kitchen clean - I'm starting reading!!

[Abi]

Haha, i just finished doing the exact same.
Now i can (Hopefully) read for the rest of the day!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Fingers crossed!

6% (view spoiler)[ this doctor isn't making much sense, he's really interested in small details from her dreams, then tries to fob her off with some rubbish about it being an over active part of her brain, then tells her that her condition is escalating and they need to operate within the week? I mean make up your mind! if it's harmless, then surely it's up to her whether she even wants to have surgery or not! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I was thinking that too! I think he might have said it wasn't much to get her to tell him all about it, then saying it's serious so she goes ahead it with. He seems really dodgy to me. I think he might know about the "Other girl" thing. (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ it does seem quite obvious that he's thinking she's seeing what someone else is doing. otherwise why would he ask 'which way did you go?' (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

15% (view spoiler)[ all this top gun stuff is seriously boring. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Urgh, my kindle decided to freeze, and then have a software update.
Took 20 minutes. :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm a bit bored :(

25% (view spoiler)[ can't believe her mom called her a freak! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

31% (view spoiler)[ this is turning into (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

(view spoiler)[ I was thinking the same when it said "echo". Hopefully it isn't as bad! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

39% (view spoiler)[ thank heavens they finally gave her a name. This 'twin' thing was beginning to annoy me.
Why the hell would they think that one twin wasn't human anyway? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

~40% (view spoiler)[ the thing about Lin not caring if she killed people is a bit of a worrying one! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

~40% (view spoiler)[ I like how she's just suddenly realising that she knows nothing about this person and that she might actually be a sociopath! Why hasn't she wondered if she is telepyronic too? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

54% (view spoiler)[ so she's going to fly her off planet and then what? (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Seems a bit far fetched to me.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

60% (view spoiler)[ would some hair dye, and some fake tan really make them look that different? Surely Cadan - who knows Elissa, would recognise the similarities between them? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

87% (view spoiler)[ they've got a freaking spare in there powering the hyperdrive? didn't see that coming. that is barbaric. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

89% (view spoiler)[ he freaking loves her? where did that come from? (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

My plans of reading for the rest of day go hijacked. :(
I'm at 60%, has it got any better?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I've just finished. It was okay, but nothing special. It was boring in places, and the bit at the end was again far-fetched. Got no plans to read the next one. I think I'd say it was a low 3 stars, I think you'll probably give it 2. It was one of those books where it finishes and you think meh.

[Abi]

Aw. :( I was looking forward to this one aswell, but it seems too similar to with a bit of thrown in.

Won't be able to finish this one until Sunday now, so i'll see how it goes then. Might be a bit better after having a break from it.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's also a bit like - having a twin is illegal.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Let's hope is better! I need to finish next which was getting pretty good when I last put it down ☺

[Abi]

I'm really hoping Hemlock will be!
I'm starting to go into another bad book run. :(

Ooh, How was Darkest minds? It looks really good, but the beginning looks really sad!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Darkest minds was alright. it was pretty average all the way through, but then had a really good ending! Never fade is better so far ☺

[Abi]

Managed to read a bit this morning, but it's still really boring me.
I'm really tempted to DNF it..

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You wouldn't be missing much.
