Review :
"A wonderful, fast-paced tale. It has a fascinating premise: treat juvenile offenders humanely by removing all thoughts that caused their misbehavior; but at what cost does that humane treatment come? This could definitely continue as a series."--Library Media Connection "Building on an intriguing concept, this novel offers readers a chance to consider the power of memory and the inescapable influence of one's past. . . . [Kyla's] instincts and innate curiosity make for a refreshing change from the often overly naive heroines of recent YA science fiction, and readers will enjoy watching her learn to be crafty in the face of danger and adult deception. What truly makes this novel stand out from the dystopian pack, though, is the well-crafted suspense. Layers of mystery . . . the shifting blend of half-truths, misdirection, and obfuscation heightens the suspense. . . . Readers will anxiously await sequels to come."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Debut author Terry's . . . treatment of medically induced amnesia is intriguing."--Publishers Weekly "Terry's debut is a suspenseful page-turner with a highly sympathetic and strong female protagonist. A perverse sense of claustrophobic dread grows throughout the novel. . . . Will have readers waiting eagerly for a sequel."--Booklist Terry s world is remarkably like today s. . . . The romance and politics keep suspense ratcheted up. Intriguing readers will be on tenterhooks for the next one. Kirkus Reviews Terry s debut is a suspenseful page-turner with a highly sympathetic and strong female protagonist. A perverse sense of claustrophobic dread grows throughout the novel. . . .
