Synopsis: 
In this conclusion to The Similars duology, Emma must figure out who she really is, decide between two boys with the same face, and stop a dangerous plan based on revenge.

Emma is still reeling from the events of her junior year at Darkwood. Not only is her best friend, Oliver, shockingly alive, but the boy she loves—his Similar, Levi—is still on the island where he grew up, stranded with his deranged creator.

More importantly, she is grappling with who she really is. Emma can't accept the hard truths she learned last year and refuses to share her secrets with anyone, isolating herself from her friends and Ollie.

But when more of the Similars' creator's plot is revealed, Emma and her friends will have to try to stop him from putting a plan into motion that could destroy everyone she loves. 


My Review:
I didn't get a copy of this until after it was published, even though I had it listed as not being published till January, it actually was released in December. So sorry this review is a bit late!  This conclusion the story was really good.  There were lots of twists and turns, some hinted at in the end of book one.  Without giving much away, it turns out that the plot is even more terrifying than was believed in the first book, and what happens at the school, and out in the world itself is more than Emma and the other Similars expect to have to deal with.  This story had a lot of action and edge of your seat moments.  It was a page-turner and I finished it very quickly once I picked it up, because I had to know where each turn was taking us, and how it would all end.  Definitely a great conclusion to a debut author's first duology.

When Ella Karman debuts on the Social Stock Exchange, she finds out life as a high profile “Influencer” isn’t what she expected. Everyone around her is consumed by their rankings, in creating the smoke and mirrors that make them the envy of the world.

But then Ella’s best friend betrays her, her rankings tank, and she loses—everything.

Leaving her old life behind, she joins Keystone, a secret school for thieves, where students are trained to seal everything analog and original because something—or someone—is changing history to suit their needs.

Excerpt:

Crawling out of the lake, I sprawl on the beach, sucking in precious air for as long as I dare. Still breathless, I limp into the woods. My temples throb and I long to return to the house and climb into bed, to huddle under the blankets until the shivering stops. Last chance to keep my old life. I could come out of this a survivor. My parents would be so proud… Once the story hit the Networks, my Influencer status would be reinstated—especially now that everyone who knew my family’s secret is…dead.

Isn’t that convenient?

I don’t dwell on who’s behind the explosion. Maybe part of me already knows the truth, but I’m not ready for it. Instead, the final fleeting glimpse I had of my best friend, Deena, her blond hair whipping across her face right before the blast, assaults me.

Doubling over, I swallow the sickness rising my throat, shutting my eyes against her. We weren’t speaking, but she didn’t deserve this. None of them did. Tears bubble down my cheeks. Dropping to my knees, I stare up at the starry sky, an irrevocable ache seeping through me. How can I be in this world without them? Wherever they are, can they see me? The universe is endless, and the stars shine down without even a wink.

A voice arrives on the breeze from the lake, its nearness sobering me. For the plan to work, the world needs to believe I’m dead. But if I stick to the plan I can never go back. That truth should terrify me, but I’m already overwhelmed. Besides, there’s nothing left to go back to. Not without Adam. He was the only one who made me feel like I mattered. Breathing deep, I heave myself to my feet and drag myself deeper into the woods. I have no home. I have to keep going.

The old me would have ordered a car to drive me from Lake Tahoe to the Sequoia National Forest, but the Disconnects offered me refuge on the condition I wouldn’t be tracked. Starting now, I’m invisible. They were supposed to send a guide, but he never showed up, and it’s pure luck I stumble upon the bikes, sneakers, and hooded sweatshirt hidden behind a tree. Taking it as a sign I’ve made the right decision, I yelp. Choking back the cry, I tug the sweatshirt over my dress with shaking hands. In the pocket I find a tube of glittery, gold paint and draw a haphazard zigzag over half my face to disguise my identity from facial-recognition cameras. The mark of a Disconnect.

My Review: 

This one really intrigued me from the idea being similar to the only episode of Black Mirror that I have watched.  Because that's what I was relating it to as I started the book, at first I was a bit disappointed that the story didn't start out with us spending time with Ella in this world of being an Influencer.  However, as we got further along, the way those days were brought in with her journaling to try to get past what she was feeling guilty about, it definitely hit hard how things had been and just how far she had gone, or what she had let trying to stay relevant keep her from doing even when she knew what was right and what was wrong.  It was hard to wonder though, if the boy from her past, Adam, was really someone as bad as she thought at one point, or if he was someone she should have trusted. And in the end, we learn something else new about him, something I had kind of had a tiny bit of wondering about earlier on.  Now, while this isn't listed as part of a series, I sure hope that there is a sequel!  It was definitely left off at the end in a way that there is so much more we could do, and I want to know it.  I want all the other heists that they could go on, and even though they may have stopped the whole Smart Brain takeover as they tried, it sounds like there is still more that could be done and more to save.  

 I really enjoyed this book, and it kept me turning pages late into the night, so I was very glad it was during my holiday break from school when I got to read it.  I'll be putting this one in my school library for my students to read for sure!

YA Science Fiction Review: The Hive by Barry Lyga, Morgan Baden, Jennifer Beals, and Tom Jacobsen

Book info:

Title:  The Hive
Author:  Barry Lyga, Morgan Baden, Jennifer Beals, and Tom Jacobsen
Genre:  YA science fiction
Release Date:  September 3rd, 2019
Publisher:  KCP Loft
Source:  Finished copy received from publisher which did not influence my opinion
My rating:  5 stars

Synopsis:
Cassie McKinney has always believed in the Hive.

Social media used to be out of control, after all. People were torn apart by trolls and doxxers. Even hackers - like Cassie's dad - were powerless against it.

But then the Hive came. A better way to sanction people for what they do online. Cause trouble, get too many "condemns," and a crowd can come after you, teach you a lesson in real life. It's safer, fairer and perfectly legal.

Entering her senior year of high school, filled with grief over an unexpected loss, Cassie is primed to lash out. Egged on by new friends, she makes an edgy joke online. Cassie doubts anyone will notice.

But the Hive notices everything. And as her viral comment whips an entire country into a frenzy, the Hive demands retribution.

One moment Cassie is anonymous; the next, she's infamous. And running for her life.

With nowhere to turn, she must learn to rely on herself - and a group of Hive outcasts who may not be reliable - as she slowly uncovers the truth about the machine behind the Hive.

New York Times bestselling authors Barry Lyga and Morgan Baden have teamed up for the first time to create a novel that's gripping, terrifying and more relevant every day, based on a story proposal by Jennifer Beals and Tom Jacobson.


My Review:
This book was so good.  So much of it relates to what is going on today, our President, our social media issues, society, mob mentality, all of it.  It was really scary and had me gasping even at certain parts.  It definitely reminded me of one episode of the show Black Mirror that starred Bryce Dallas Howard, where everyone rated everyone else when they saw them, and how you could take away the little perks and even just ease of every day life by down-voting people.  I've also been told there is another episode of the same show where someone is able to control mechanical bees to kill people that have done something on social media.  I will have to watch that one.  But anyway, the main character Cassie lost her father and had to move to a new school where she doesn't really want to fit in.  Her father was a well-known/infamous hacker and her mother is a professor of classics.  She doesn't get along with her mother, but misses her father a lot.  She finally tries to fit in with a group of girls who are kind of the top of the popular kids.  The girls goad her into posting something about the President's grandchild and her tasteless joke backfires in that everyone gets up in arms and all of a sudden she is the one the Hive is after and she runs.  We get a lot of the hacker group story in this, which is very interesting, although maybe a little high-techy at times.  There's definitely a lot of adventure and suspense and back doors and twists and turns.  There are things that the President in the book does or says that totally are like you'd think our actual current President in real life would do.

My only complaint was with the third person type of narration, it was somewhat omniscient in that we got both Cassie and her mother Rachel's thoughts and actions, and sometimes it was confusing because it was within the same page without any separation to tell us we'd changed points of view.  Other than that this was such a real book to how things are and how easy it is for people to go so intense over the smallest thing, such as what a person has said. 
 

ARC Review: Girls With Sharp Sticks by Suzanne Young

Book info:

Title:  Girls with Sharp Sticks

Series:  Girls with Sharp Sticks #1
Genre:  YA science fiction
Release Date:  March 19th, 2019
Publisher:  Simon Pulse
Source:  ARC received from publisher which did not influence my opinion
My rating:  5 stars

Synopsis:
The Girls of Innovations Academy are beautiful and well-behaved—it says so on their report cards. Under the watchful gaze of their Guardians, the all-girl boarding school offers an array of studies and activities, from “Growing a Beautiful and Prosperous Garden” to “Art Appreciation” and “Interior Design.” The girls learn to be the best society has to offer. Absent is the difficult math coursework, or the unnecessary sciences or current events. They are obedient young ladies, free from arrogance or defiance. Until Mena starts to realize that their carefully controlled existence may not be quite as it appears.

As Mena and her friends begin to uncover the dark secrets of what’s actually happening there—and who they really are—the girls of Innovations will find out what they are truly capable of. Because some of the prettiest flowers have the sharpest thorns.

My Review:
It only took one time of picking up and I was hooked! This story was so unique, and there was a lot details left to fall out as part of the plot in such a seamless manner, but also in a way that kept the suspense going the whole time.  We got introduced to characters that seemed like they might be the good guys, the ones out to help these girls who may not have understood what really they were being subjected to.  Even with those helpful things they did, there was always the niggling sensation in the back of my mind about what exactly were the motivations behind the supposedly good guys' actions.  Were they entirely selfless?  Or as we learn with at least one of them, there might have been some selfishness in the reasons.  

When finally we get into some of the science behind what is going on, it made me think of lobotomies, yet I couldn't imagine how in the world that worked with what was going on while they performed the procedure.  The ending fit the title of the book so perfectly, but also left you hanging a bit.  While some things, for our main characters really, might have been solved or somewhat fixed, overall, there are still a few loose ends left at the conclusion.  Ones that may leave this open for a sequel.  And that sequel could have more to do with our original cast, but I am going to guess the ones who still need help will be in that story as well.  

This is only my 2nd book by this author, but it only makes me more determined to read The Program series!  I will definitely be purchasing this for the students in my school library to read as well with my next budget money for next school year, as it has some great tie-ins to things going on in the world today.  And the acknowledgement by the author at the end is really perfect.

ARC Review: The Last 8 by Laura Pohl

Genre:  YA Science Fiction

My rating:  4.5 Stars

Synopsis:
A high-stakes survival story about eight teenagers who outlive an alien attack—perfect for fans of The 5th Wave

Clover Martinez has always been a survivor, which is the only reason she isn't among the dead when aliens invade and destroy Earth as she knows it.

When Clover hears an inexplicable radio message, she's shocked to learn there are other survivors—and that they're all at the former Area 51. When she arrives, she's greeted by a band of misfits who call themselves The Last Teenagers on Earth.

Only they aren't the ragtag group of heroes Clover was expecting. The group seems more interested in hiding than fighting back, and Clover starts to wonder if she was better off alone. But then she finds a hidden spaceship, and she doesn't know what to believe…or who to trust.


My Review:
This was a really good science fiction story that I'm happy to see is going to have a sequel.  It left off in a way that we need it!  Although it definitely led up to the very end as if it cold be a standalone, the ending left us hanging, not knowing what would happen!  You get a lot of how it starts from the synopsis above.  But the way the aliens destroy humans is really pretty terrifying, and then how that in turn affects any humans that they don't kill is scary on its own!  We're left wondering why in the world the aliens don't seem to see Clover, why she is left alive.  And while Clover wonders that herself, she feels like being alone, not having been able to save her friend or family, maybe she doesn't want to go on.  Until she catches by accident a message on the radio calling any survivors to meet up at Area 51.  Only once she gets there, it seems as if the other teens there don't trust her or want to give her a chance.  At first.  They have a leader, who doesn't like that Clover comes in telling the others living there what is going on out in the world.  They've basically been hiding there, living on the things that are still stockpiled because of where it is.  

But finding other people makes Clover realize there might even be more of them out there.  And either way, life is worth going on, and fighting.  It takes the death of one of their own for them to finally decide to try to do something, fight back, take back Earth.  As you might expect though, there are all kinds of secrets and hidden things at Area 51.  Spaceships?  Got them.  Alien life form?  Got it.  You just won't believe where they are, and who knows about them, and what all they know.

Definitely pick this up for a page-turning science fiction adventure. 
 

L-L-L-Little Reviews: 3 YA ARCs

Other than an audiobook that I finished yesterday, and an e-galley that I'm part of a tour to review on Thursday, I'll be complete with all my reviews of 2018 reads after this post. 

The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White:

Release Date: September 25th, 2018
Genre:  YA Retelling
Publisher:  Delacorte Press
Source:  Received ARC from publisher at ALA convention which did not effect my opinion 
My rating:  4 stars

I didn't get this read when I wanted to, too many blog tour review books to get done.  I got this from ALA last summer, and it was one of my unicorn ARCs.  I loved The Conqueror's Saga by this author, her retelling of Vlad the Impaler, and so I had high hopes for this retelling of the Frankenstein story.   I wasn't disappointed.  Once I got the chance to pick it up, I was hooked, and loved trying to fit what I remembered of the original story in with how the author was retelling it.  It was a great account at looking how Victor wasn't really just a good guy gone bad, how he was a bad guy in this one.  On a side note, I loved that one of the character's last names was my mother's maiden name, even if it is probably more common in Europe.  Great retelling, and I'm reading another good one by the author right now, Slayer, and enjoying it as well.

Here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Elizabeth Lavenza hasn't had a proper meal in weeks. Her thin arms are covered with bruises from her "caregiver," and she is on the verge of being thrown into the streets . . . until she is brought to the home of Victor Frankenstein, an unsmiling, solitary boy who has everything--except a friend.

Victor is her escape from misery. Elizabeth does everything she can to make herself indispensable--and it works. She is taken in by the Frankenstein family and rewarded with a warm bed, delicious food, and dresses of the finest silk. Soon she and Victor are inseparable.

But her new life comes at a price. As the years pass, Elizabeth's survival depends on managing Victor's dangerous temper and entertaining his every whim, no matter how depraved. Behind her blue eyes and sweet smile lies the calculating heart of a girl determined to stay alive no matter the cost . . . as the world she knows is consumed by darkness.  


The Similars by Rebecca Hanover:

Release Date: January 1st, 2019
Genre:  YA Science Fiction
Publisher:  Sourcebooks Fire
Source:  Received ARC from publisher which did not effect my opinion 
My rating:  5 stars

This one grabbed me from the start, and I couldn't put it down.  I loved the idea behind these clones, and so much about them fit in with how the world is today with other types of discrimination.  But when I would think one thing, something happened and it went another way, and I loved all the twists and turns that kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat.  Even though I wanted to be done with it by the weekend before Christmas, I also had wished I'd been on Christmas break already so that I could have stayed up and finished it one night, it was that good.  I'm happy to see that it is supposed to be a series, or at least have a sequel, because the ending left it so that we need to know more!  

Here is the blurb from Goodreads:

When six clones join Emmaline’s prestigious boarding school, she must confront the heartbreak of seeing her dead best friend’s face each day in class.

The Similars are all anyone can talk about at the elite Darkwood Academy. Who are these six clones? What are the odds that all of them would be Darkwood students? Who is the madman who broke the law to create them? Emma couldn't care less. Her best friend, Oliver, died over the summer and all she can think about is how to get through her junior year without him. Then she comes face-to-heartbreaking-face with Levi—Oliver's exact DNA replica and one of the Similars.

Emma wants nothing to do with the Similars, but she keeps getting pulled deeper and deeper into their clique, uncovering dark truths about the clones and her prestigious school along the way. But no one can be trusted…not even the boy she is falling for who has Oliver's face.


A Blade So Black by L.L. McKinney:

Release Date: September 25th, 2018
Genre:  YA Fantasy/paranormal
Publisher:  Imprint Reads/Macmillan
Source:  Borrowed ARC from a student 
My rating:  3.5 stars

So, while this one had a really good story, I had a few issues with it.  I loved so much of the Buffy aspects of the story.  I loved the Alice in Wonderland aspects as well.  However, there was just so much to read. So many details and so much that I actually skipped over to just get the story.  The author did a lot of great descriptions and great back story, but I am a little embarrassed to admit that I may have skimmed a lot of it, just because I was more about getting the main story and not worrying as much about all the extra.  As I said first though, the story was really good, and I'm definitely going to need a sequel to find out what happens next.  There was a lot of tragedy, just like in the BTVS series, and also humor, just like the series.  

A kind of neat note about this book, the author graduated from the high school where I am a librarian.  A little bit before my time, but still, very exciting!  Hoping to get her to come and talk to the students about writing.  

Here is the blurb from Goodreads:
The first time the Nightmares came, it nearly cost Alice her life. Now she's trained to battle monstrous creatures in the dark dream realm known as Wonderland with magic weapons and hardcore fighting skills. Yet even warriors have a curfew.

Life in real-world Atlanta isn't always so simple, as Alice juggles an overprotective mom, a high-maintenance best friend, and a slipping GPA. Keeping the Nightmares at bay is turning into a full-time job. But when Alice's handsome and mysterious mentor is poisoned, she has to find the antidote by venturing deeper into Wonderland than she’s ever gone before. And she'll need to use everything she's learned in both worlds to keep from losing her head . . . literally.   

ARC Review: The Darkest Star (Origin #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Book info:

Title:  The Darkest Star
Author:  Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series:  Origin #1
Genre:  YA/NA science fiction, romance
Release Date: October 30th, 2018
Publisher:  Tor Teen
Source:  ARC picked up from publisher at ALA convention, which did not influence my opinion
My rating:  5 stars

Synopsis:
When seventeen-year-old Evie Dasher is caught up in a raid at a notorious club known as one of the few places where humans and the surviving Luxen can mingle freely, she meets Luc, an unnaturally beautiful guy she initially assumes is a Luxen...but he is in fact something much more powerful. Her growing attraction for Luc will lead her deeper and deeper into a world she'd only heard about, a world where everything she thought she knew will be turned on its head...

#1 New York Times, USA Today, and internationally bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns to the universe of the Lux in this brand new series, featuring beloved characters both new and old.

My Review:
Daemon Black is one of my all time favorite, #1 book boyfriends.  This book continues in his world that we read about and loved in the Lux series.  It was nice to have Daemon pop in a few times to this story, but it was also great getting to really know some of the smaller characters from that earlier series, and seeing them get their own stories.  As it has been a bit since I finished those books though, I was still left a little bit guessing at just who Evie really was, and where she'd been as part of the original series.  But all of that was filled in as I read, in perfect moments, with still enough left to surprise me and keep me on my toes wondering what was around the next corner, as I turned each page.  

There is so much  more to learn about those like Luc, just what all are they able to do?  And then there is Evie, who we find out is even more than might be originally thought when she learns who she really is from before.  I am so glad this means there will be more books in this series, and more to read and learn about these characters.  I liked visiting the world after the big Luxen invasion.  There was so much to the story that even fits in with current events in the real world.  I loved how JLA wove our favorite characters from the past throughout the story in seamless arcs, adding both comedic relief at times it was needed, as well as drama and suspense in other situations.

If you've read any of my reviews of this author's books, I'm pretty sure I say something about how mad I am at myself for taking so long to read this book.  This time I'm trying to make myself remember next time I get one of her books, especially an advanced copy, to not wait until close to the publishing date, to go ahead and start it right away, because I know I won't be able to put it down.  I mean I want to kick myself for waiting clear from June until now to read it!  Once again Jennifer L. Armentrout has blown me away with how addictive her writing is, and how lovable her characters are.

My Review:
This is my first Pintip Dunn book, and I can understand why I've heard such great things!  Star-Crossed has all the expected parts of a YA science fiction story, with a very unique and surprising ending.  I was very intrigued by the story from the very beginning.  We got a pretty clear run-down of what had happened to the people on this spaceship when they landed earlier than planned, and had no way to make all the food to feed all the people they had brought with them.  However it wasn't bogged down as much as some science fiction can be.  The author gave just enough background info to make it clear why things had to be the way they were, in order to get the story going.  More details were distilled as the story went on. 

As I began reading, I immediately thought the pills everyone had to take sounded pretty yucky, I guess partly from how they were made!  The story soon morphed into a bit of a competition, with our main character, Princess Vela, being expected to make the final call on who would be the person giving up their life to save the King.  By doing this, she would be showing the Council if she was the right person to take over the throne when her father died, or if her sister, who had always been a part of the running of the colony, should step up. 

Making the decision itself wasn't the only obstacle for Vela though.  There was her best friend's ever-growing sickness.  There was the fact that her best friend's brother, Carr, a boy she'd always looked at as if he was someone special, possibly being the best choice to sacrifice his life so her father could live.  But could she choose him as the Fittest, with her feelings, and either way, could she allow the competition to be run fairly? 

Competing with her sister, who had been given another task to complete to prove that she was the better successor to their father, opened up a story-line of possible sabotage.  So the competition was not just about which boy would have to sacrifice their lives, but if her sister would do something to make Vela's choice harder, or look as if she wasn't fit based on how she handled it.  And there was someone else it seemed messing with all the competitions.  But why were they doing the things they did, and who was it? 

I kind of guessed who it could be, once I realized that it might not be her sister.  But the way things took a turn at the very end, putting Carr's life on the line earlier than normal, along with the death of another major character, I didn't see the way the twist would go at the end. And I really liked it!  I feel like the story showed all the ways to be a great leader, and brought up so many moral dilemmas that would be hard to keep straight and still think of your own friends and family.

A great science-fiction read, with some really unique ideas and a plot to keep you on your toes until the very end!
