This dystopian novella is definitely an eye opener. I enjoy Lila Felix’s stories and this
one was no different. It instantly captured my attention.
Petra is forced to live in horrible
conditions, starved and is acting like her peers. Little does the United
Nations know that her lobotomy didn’t take, every day she goes through the
motions and focuses in surviving.
Lawson sees Petra and instantly knows
she is different. It is his job to help citizens like her. He is a bounty
hunter after all. When he brings her to his camp, she is fed and is able to
bathe.
“I missed human contact. Sometimes, I’d
go to sleep with Mildred, just to be near someone.” It sounded downright
pitiful coming out of my mouth. I regretted it immediately. I looked to his
brown eyes to find reprimand but instead found compassion.
He pulled me closer and kissed kissed
the side of my head.
Their friendship quickly blossoms as
does their attraction towards each other. When Petra runs into someone from her
past, he makes it clear that she and her past need to remain unknown for her
protection.
Together, Petra and Lawson and their
group struggle to survive and stay hidden and fight to help those who are like
them.
Lawson will do anything for Petra and
to make matters worse, he has no idea who she really is and how much of a
target they have both become.
She popped a blueberry in her mouth and
sat on an upside down barrel we used for rain collecting. The joy on her face
was priceless. I knew without a doubt I’d do just about anything to give her
that joy as often as I could. There was just something about her that made me
want to be better—she made me regret who I’d been.
Petra is a survivor and though a bit
marred, she is beautiful, smart and strong. Lawson is handsome and determined
and has this pull towards Petra to protect her.
Lila Felix created a not so far fetched
world. The characters are fantastic. I absolutely adore both Petra and Law...
Law *sighs* I am already in love with him. He definitely makes a new book
boyfriend for this New Year!
A job well done! I can’t wait to see
where Petra and Law end up!
