Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.  runtimeregan | Jun 12, 2019 |   ^^ When a deadly virus takes over, Brooklyn and her high school friends are transported to a camp for safety. There they stay until one day, a couple of years later, they discover news that could mean things are very different on the outside world than they were lead to believe. Lies. Experiments. Government cover-ups. There's all sort s of conspiracies flying around. ^^ Together they hatch a plan to escape, but it's not as easy as they think. Especially when Porter, Brooklyn's boyfriend, turns out to have more to do with the Operation than at first it would seem. ^^ The main character and her friends are strong, likeable people and very easy to root for. Especially when you discover how they've been treated, their betrayal and how deep the Operation's conspiracies go. If I'd one niggle, it would be, could I forgive my boyfriend so easily for what he's done? At the risk of spoiling the plot, I'll say no more and let you decide. ^^ I do think that Gabriel, should have been called Gabrielle, to make it clear she is a girl. (Unless of course there is a reason for this, in later books - like she's bisexual?). Even so, their close relationship made it (wrongly or rightly) easy to automatically assume Gabriel was a boy, so it got a bit confusing when too many "shes" were mentioned at the beginning, when we are first being introduced to who's who. ^^ Despite this, Gabriel is actually one of my favourite characters. Previously a blonde high school cheerleader type, now with a passion for violence and the strength to match. Such a diverse character. I love her role in this book. In fact, all of these characters are pretty good, and well fleshed out. ^^ The author has a really good writing style, which makes for a fun, fast read. I must also add how much I love the three covers of this series. ^^ The romance between Brooke and Porter is also a big part of this story, so much so, I feel it can be classified as a romantic sci-fi adventure for young adults. Overall: This is an intriguing young adult story, with lots of action and adventure. I really like the the premise and I'm looking forward to finishing the rest of the series. I'm practically finished book two, and the third and final (as far as I know) book is als o in my TBR pile, and soon to be published. I received this book via Xpresso Book Tours with no obligation to review. (  ) SassyBrit | Nov 27, 2018 | sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Read on my blog.
All I knew about this book going in was that it had a bisexual MC, and there’s maybe a female love interest. In reality, the four core characters in this book are all bisexual (two guys and two girls), and they are involved with each other in all kinds of combinations – so, the bisexual female MC has both a female and a male love interest who are both bisexual themselves. (Edit: According to the author, one of the guys is actually panromantic demisexual.)
While there are no central nonbinary characters, there is a small acknowledgment that bisexuality isn’t only about being attracted to the binary genders, so that was nice. As I said, Brooklyn is both into Gabriel (female) and Porter (male) and Gabriel is dating Dawson (male) who Porter is also into, but I’d hesitate to call it real polyamory – although that might be where the series is heading. I’m curious to see how these relationships evolve in the next book(s).
As for the plot… honestly, I don’t have much to say that wasn’t already in the blurb. Half the big secrets were already revealed in the first chapter, which felt a little soon, I would have preferred more time in the camp maybe. Then something happened to my favourite character around halfway in that just made me stop caring about the book, and if not for the last chapter, I probably wouldn’t have rated it above 2 stars.
All in all, this was an okay read and I certainly appreciate the amount of queer representation, but it felt very much like the beginning of something, like an introduction, and I don’t think it’s particularly enjoyable without the rest of the series. (
