The sophomore novel in this exciting new series. What's not to like about this series. . I really like Alice and I think this is an interesting take on a dystopian world.

I am fond of this book as it really does give me something to look forward to being released. A real page Turner that kept me in anticipation.

The story continued on with Carter's journey outside the Community where he learned about people who had survived the Storms and the Industry, and he got to know his truth.

90 years earlier, Alice too slowly felt the change in the policies of the Industry and its Model Community. But it was only after her good friend was shot, Alice, pregnant and scared, plucked up her courage and made newer, startling discoveries

This is my second book by the author Ceri A Lowe, and I found this better than the first as I was well oriented with their world. The story still followed the lives of Alice and Carter, and I found myself eagerly waiting, longing for the two stories to connect. And it did!! With a shocking discovery!!

I thought I knew how the stories were going to connect, but this was unexpected. I found Alice both naive and intelligent. Her character seemed to be caught between the older and newer principles of wanting a better future. She was naive enough to still trust the wrong people till they betrayed her and took everything away from her...

Carter, on the other hand, grew mature, open minded, and adaptable to his newer situation. Reading their chapters alternatively went smoother in this book. I wanted to commend Carter for being a natural leader, as opposed to wanting to scream at Alice for seeing the blatant truth. The book sure incited my emotions.

The biggest niggle I had was when Alice was shown the truth by the head honchos of the Paradigm Industry, she said - I am Alice Davenport. I wanted to turn back and snap at her - So what??? This happened quite a few times.
Overall an enjoyable read on a Sunday afternoon.
2 timeliness that keep you gripped
2 characters that keep you hooked
One is present, escaping the past
The other is future, living the past
Till the story twists, as the plan flies faster
Alice and Carter make the book a roller-coaster

This is book two in a series, so book one should be read first.

Having enjoyed book one in this series I couldn’t wait to get stuck into this one. I was interested to see what more we would discover about where the two storylines were going and when they would eventually connect. Throughout this book more information is slowly unveiled and we get a much better understanding about what is going on and where everyone fits into things.

Carters journey continues with a bang and it made me like him even more than I did in the previous book.

The ending is where things got really exciting and it has me desperate for the final part. I cannot wait to see how everything ends.

Huge thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for providing a copy.
