Dystopian hive, rise up! WE’RE SO BACK!!!

Set in a futuristic world in the aftermath of a biotoxin that has divided society in two; you’re either a Prime, immune to the toxin, or Modified, enhanced by the toxin and gifted with powerful psychic gifts.

If you couldn’t already tell, I have never grown out of the 2010s dystopian phase, and this book gave me everything I needed to make me feel like that again.

When one careless mistake lands Wren Darlington in custody, she is offered an ultimatum; prison or join Silver Block, the most elite arm of the Continent’s military. There she is recruited by the Uprising and Wren begins to walk a dangerous line, concealing her own psychic powers and feeding information to the Uprising, all whilst right under the nose of the son of the Continent’s cruel general, Cross Redden. The chemistry between the two is INCREDIBLE. You want yearning back? Read👏this👏book.

This book was so full of subterfuge, sizzling romance, spying, deception and deceit. It has very distinct Divergent vibes, for an older audience, which may be controversial because I know some people had very strong opinions on that series back in the day. For me personally, it was a cornerstone of the literature I devoured growing up, and anything that gives me that sense of nostalgia, that illicitly reading under the covers late into night and between lessons at school, is a guaranteed good time. I now officially have a hangover from this book. Nothing else I’ve read since hits and that’s truly the highest compliment.

Thank you to @netgalley and @delrey for the ARC! 🙏
