REVIEW:
This book was such a page turner and one of my favorite reads this year. I was immediately drawn into the unique world and Urban’s deep internal conflict. She felt so real and I could resonate so easily with her and all the other characters as well. I could feel their emotions alongside them and just wanted to wrap them all up in a blanket and hug them! If only…
I loved the style and pace of book so much. The unique world building elements kept me enthralled and needing more. Fast paced action scenes that hooked me immediately wouldn’t allow me to set the book down. And unexpected plot twists had me reading late into the night!
All in all I absolutely adored this book and didn’t want it to end! One of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Five stars from me, 100%!
WARNINGS:
Violence // Romantic Tension
TAKEAWAYS:
My favorite part about this book was the unique and fast pacing. The gripping action scenes really brought this book to life in new and exciting way. While this book wasn't explicitly Christian it was written by a Christian author and has similar themes. It is clean and all in all just a fun read.

The Blurb
Lee Urban is living a lie.
In a society where everyone's DNA determines their destiny, being a Natural means automatic relegation to the gritty and dangerous Outskirts. With the harnessed power of gene-editing, the ability to create a super-human race has transformed the world and offered the opportunity of a genetically enhanced life. But only to those who can afford it. Born a Natural, Lee Urban was adopted into the Enhanced high society of the Asian Federation and forced to conceal her genetic roots. When her dream of attending Peking University becomes a reality, she is determined to go despite a warning from a mysterious source. Targeted by a hacker bent on exposing her true DNA, Urban faces off with an Artificial Intelligence Game that puts her—and her lies—to the test. What was supposed to be a dream come true turns into a lethal gamble of hide-and-seek with her genetics. Can Urban continue the act, or will the cracks in her story expose her and endanger her family?
