From the author of the Eve trilogy comes
the breathless story of a girl racing to figure out who she is—and how to stay
alive. When a nameless girl wakes up on the subway tracks, she knows only one
thing for sure: people want her dead. Can she find them before they track her
down? This pulse-pounding contemporary thriller is perfect for fans of The
Maze Runner, The Darkest Minds, and Legend.
Things I Know Are True:
I am in Los Angeles
I woke up on the train tracks at the
Vermont/Sunset station
I am a teenage girl
I have long black hair
I have a bird tattoo on the inside of my
right wrist with the letters and numbers FNV02198
People are trying to kill me
My Review: This is one of those books that I've had on my shelves for longer than I should admit, but finally got it and it well it wasn't what I expected.
I LOVED Anna's Eve series so I had to get these books but it's definitely different from the writing style of her other series and I didn't hate it but I wasn't as invested. You have a random girl waking up on the train tracks. Just laying there with no clue about anything, including who she is. She pretty much gets up and runs from the station. Forget help or anything, she needs to get away, but to where? She doesn't know how she got where she is, a tattoo she has no memory of and well the only thing she does know is that people are after her.
The 2nd person POV takes some getting used and the world
building is there but it's a slow build for me. Once the story finally picked
up and started to grab me it was pretty much over. She gave herself the name
Sunny, she met a boy who has been helping her, some murders were involved and
it just ended on a cliffhanger that I couldn't get over. I am hoping to dive
into the next book soon and hopefully it picks up where it left off.
