I had a very long car ride to the beach by myself after school on Friday. So I downloaded an audiobook from Sora, our new overdrive app, and was able to drive and read at the same time. Due to horrendous traffic on the way home, I was able to listen to the entire book in one weekend. I loved the alternating narrative setup of this novel. The tension and irony of knowing things that both of the narrators do not know, made the action taking place even more dramatic. I look forward to the second and third audio books…whenever I can have the time to listen to them!

Born into an elite family in one of the Republic’s wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic’s highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country’s most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths – until the day June’s brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family’s survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias’s death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.
