Synopsis from Goodreads:
An un-putdownable thriller for fans
of Uglies.
When a crash kills their father and leaves them orphaned, Zel knows she needs to protect her sister, Dyl. But before Zel has a plan, Dyl is taken by strangers using bizarre sensory weapons, and Zel finds herself in a safe house for teens who aren’t like any she’s ever seen before—teens who shouldn't even exist. Using broken-down technology, her new friends’ peculiar gifts, and her own grit, Zel must find a way to get her sister back from the kidnappers who think a powerful secret is encoded in Dyl’s DNA.
A spiraling, intense, romantic story set in 2150—in a world of automatic cars, nightclubs with auditory ecstasy drugs, and guys with four arms—this is about the human genetic “mistakes” that society wants to forget, and the way that outcasts can turn out to be heroes.
Why I'm Waiting:
This sounds like a creepy science
fiction. My cup of tea. The cover is really cool looking too. I love books
about altered DNA and lots of sciency things (I was once a chemistry major...)
like Partials by Dan Wells
so this one is sure to please. Plus it's a girl going after her sister. I
relate. I have two sisters and I am super protective of them both. If anybody
messes with them, they must answer to me so I already know I will likely relate
to this main character.

ReplyDeleteI know! I feel like there's kind of a lack of science fiction in YA. There's lots of dystopians and paranormal stuff, but it's hard to come by scifi. I can't wait!
