Dystopian Sci-Fi
Blurb
Ashleigh and Aiden are thirteen-year-old twins who promise to always look out for each other. Aiden is more dedicated to the task than Ashleigh, but when it comes to matters of life and death, they both exhibit a fierce protectiveness that will change the course of their lives.
‘We’ve been worried about Aiden too, Ash,’ said Mum. ‘He’s always been such a … predictable child. You’re not the only one to have noticed the changes.’
Ash and Aiden Delatour are identical twins, living a privileged lifestyle with loving parents. In a world that has fallen apart at the seams, they want for nothing. All they have to do is be there for each other, no matter what.
But after Aiden suffers a terrible injury, he isn’t the same brother Ash always relied on. Something has changed, and it will lead to a discovery that will turn their whole world upside down.
Book Review
This book is my favourite novel that isn’t part of a series. If you aren’t reading a book, READ THIS! If you are reading a book, drop it and READ THIS! I love this book completely; this is a must-read book for anyone who loves good books. Set in a future where climate change has spiraled out of control, this story takes an unexpected view on what Earth would be like in the future. A constant mystery that evolves and deepens throughout the book always keeps you in suspense and the high stakes and risks, described beautifully by Barry Jonsberg, make the experience all the better. The characters have complex traits and personality that assist to the intricate plot and emotion .
I highly recommend this novel over anything else. This story will stay with you long after you finish it. Definitely read it.
