Our Thoughts On:
In a
future that has come over the world, there are many secrets that stay in
families. There is something rare and dangerous in this future today, where a
twin may be something more than flesh and bone. Imogene Howson breaks out into
YA this year with her release Linked, the story of two girls who
share something amazing and dangerous that has been kept hidden and secret.
This may cost them not only their connectivity but also their lives.
Elissa
has suffered from something all of her life, and her nightmares are bleeding
into her reality and also her body more now than ever. When her latest trip to
the doctor reveals to Elissa that these episodes may be more than meets the
eye, and she creeps out one night from her home to discover the most disturbing
secret, or most unnerving truth. Her dreams may be more real than they seem.
If
an operation could allow you to feel like a normal person, would you choose
this path, even if it meant that you would be losing something vital of
yourself? Elissa is torn between wanting to feel normal, but also in
discovering what this connection to this other person in her mind means. As she
discovers a terrible secret in her family and really her society, Elissa is
tortured in her decisions and must overcome her fears to save a part of herself
she never really understood the implications of before.
Steeped
in intrigue and danger Linked will captivate readers with
this strong pair of lead female characters trying to save each other from the
world. Elissa has been sheltered in her family and society, while Lin has been
a tested experiment recently broken free. With twists and turns that keep
readers caught up in the plight of these two characters this dystopian page
turner will leave one desperate for more. With a fabulous blend of futuristic
developments and societal suppression on its citizens the developing plot will
capture attention with details that pull readers heartstrings on what happens
when some people value others as being less than human. Lin and Elissa make a
powerhouse team of teens that only want a future that includes both of them,
even if it may cost them their lives.
