Description
Leah, the daughter of a corporate executive, lives a privileged life in a hive-like city created after nearly all of humanity is wiped out by climate disasters, plague and war. The corporation manages all of society with flawless efficiency, and once Leah opts-in to the terms of service, she'll be one of the lucky ones enjoying the fruit of other-people's labor, just as her parents planned.
But Leah is, instead, hoping to spend more time with Abel, the son of the Chief Operating Officer. Leah's feelings for Abel have grown stronger. Unfortunately, the corporation has different plans for the two teenagers.
When the corporate security team brutally kills innocent bystanders, Leah is awakened to the corporation's ruthlessness. Now she wants nothing to do with her parents' world.
Leah and Abel can only be together if they escape the city and make their way to the rumored settlements beyond the corporation's reach. Escape won't be easy: the corporation's artificial intelligence tracks all movement throughout the city, searching for suspicious activity.
Their only hope is to connect with The Collective, the resistance group trying to overthrow the corporation and restore civil liberties.
All they have to do is pull it off to find a new life.
(Book 1 in the HIVE series.)

I found this book to be quite heavy to read. Interesting but heavy.
It's about a future dystopian society and you have the choice to opt in or opt out.
If you opt in you agree to the terms of the society and be monitored twenty four hours a day by an artificial intelligence that interprets all the data. It also allows more freedom as it provides stability, growth and supposed happiness. These people are called the incorporated.
If you opt out you are known as the unincorporated who live in urban communities and struggle daily.
This book is about a young couple finding out about the negative side to opting in. They set out on a journey to find the resistance of sorts.
It's an intriguing read. About one possible future of society. It's well written and describes life really well. But as I said earlier it's heavy going. Enjoy!

This was an interesting read. The opt-in, out-out choice made for a different story then most dystopian books I have read. I look forward to book 2.

This book was a quick read and a different take on a dystopian type future. While the world is now controlled mostly by AI and you have to agree to the terms of service, not everyone wants to. Following Leah and Abel as they go through what they need to for survival, love, and family was a ride. I do wish we understood a bit more about the different groups and Viktoria but I'm hoping we get more on that in the next novel.
