Skylar is in a town that is very different . She has powers, and she is able to view secrets. Piper is her older sister. Her family is also the founding members of Garnerville. In this town, no one gets sick.

Through out the book we different memories  through the different 80's songs. Piper is also in love with her teacher. Piper is also in the reformatory. Skylar is taking pills to forget many things. She meets Foote who is a newbie to the town, and he is lucky. Skylar is attracted to him.

Through out the book , the wizard of OZ was brought up along with The Pied Piper. I won't go into detail because that would spoil the book. This book was a wild ride, and these topics though different melded together. I love that her books are crazy different. So far this author has been 2/2 for me liking her books.

Shane Bax has just gotten out of prison. He was in there for the past 5 years. He comes looking for his best friend Race, but he appears to have run off. He finds Dovie who is Race's sister. They are both trying to find out anything on him. They are both had had a rough life in the point.
Dovie is on her way to working with at risk kids. She is trying to make her life somewhat better. Bax only knows the life of stealing , and crime. They both have to work together to find her brother Race. I loved seeing Bax's brother.

They do have some sexy times. There is a lot of attraction between them both. Dovie can see Bax as both Shane & Bax. She also understands why he has the different sides. I adore this author and her sexy men. This isn't a nice world .

This is what happens after the door shuts. Allyson & Willem both catch up and we see what happens during the day. We also see their friends. Both of their quotes from both books do come up in this book.

I was glad to see what happened with them. I wanted some closure and I got it. I was glad to see Allyson and Willem reconnect after that big year.

This book was okay , but I didn't like the cheating or finding out about through the memories. Kelly's life wasn't perfect , and she did make some poor choices. But she becomes a stronger independent woman.

She is an odd duck who can hack , but isn't online. Her grandparents live with her family. She also has been hearing her tummy growl. Her school is more of a focus group for product placement. Her best friend wants a job through the One world corporation.

She goes out with her friend and meets Basil. She smells new scents and he tells her about a meeting. Her mom would like her to checked out. She learns that the area , food and connections at the meeting. She get put into patient treatment, and Basil breaks her out. Thaila eyes are opened to the Outer rings, and learns more about the control of One World.

This book was different dystopian . Thaila is hungry for connection, food, and knowledge. She questions authority and even her insta relationship with Basil. I liked Apple because she stirs the pot, and she got people talking about the issues plaguing the area. Also the Parentals  were smart, involved , and she had a good relationship with them. Basil had a tough life but he seemed to readily believe the adults in charge. Basil also seemed to normal with anger issues at his life and family.

Book Review= C+/B-

Amy grew and changed along with Matthew. I loved that parents were present for both of them. Amy's parent's sheltered her a bit much but you could see that they loved her. Matthew with his OCD , and how his brain worked was  pretty cool. I loved that they are friends before anything else. This book had hope, and friendship. I loved seeing the world in Amy's eyes. Seriously read this book.
