The Bourne Identity meets Divergent in this action-packed debut thriller with a Katniss-esque heroine fighting to regain her memories and stay alive, set against a dystopian hospital background.
Sarah finds herself in a battle for her life within the walls of her hospital-turned-prison. A procedure to eliminate her memory goes awry, and she starts to remember snatches of her past. Was she an urban terrorist or vigilante? Has the procedure been her salvation or her destruction? The answers lie trapped within her mind. To access them, she’ll need the help of the teen computer hacker who’s trying to bring the hospital down for his own reasons, and she’ll need to evade an army of mercenary soldiers poised to eliminate her for good. If only she knew why . . .
“[T]his is a very entertaining game for thriller fans…. Both Sarah and Pierce are layered and appealing characters who don’t get too caught up in their own drama — the mayhem around them is excitement enough.”
Publishers Weekly
“This never skips a beat of action or suspense, and … pulses with vivid, original details, engrossing readers and leaving them begging for a sequel.”
Booklist
“Non-stop action makes this a tempting, fast read for teens. A mixture of James Bond and Alex Rider, the bad guys are truly despicable and all the plot elements conveniently intertwine to tie up neatly at the end. Sarah and Thomas make a memorable and endearing couple, finding romance in the midst of destruction and death…. With a plot that reads like a movie script, even reluctant readers will be sucked in. This is a great thriller.”
