Once you think you know something another twist comes diving in. It&#8217;s definitely a thriller. There&#8217;s a ton of fast-paced action and tension. The beginning is very mysterious, the inciting incident comes very quickly, and the ending has a definite mindblowing twist. I also like how Lee brought in a ticking time bomb element with the fact that with technology advancing it\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;\">harder for Progeny to keep hiding. Also the plot is very personal for the main character so she can\u2019t run away from this no matter how much she wants to.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Characters<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Emily\/Audra is an interesting protagonist. She&#8217;s had her memory erased so she slowly has to formulate who she is\/was throughout the book. Other people know her better than she knows herself which is a really perplexing concept. At times, Audra is afraid of who she was when she finds clues and tidbits about her past and she lives in constant fear of being found or worse her loved ones being found. I love how naturally Tosca writes her interior monologue since this is first-person present tense. The way she thinks and talks is really natural for an early twenties woman. The dialogue is just great for all the characters for that matter. They just seem like real genuine people.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">&#8220;My name is Audra Ellison. I am twenty-one years old. And I am prepared, once again, to protect those I love &#8230;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Whoever they are.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">I really like Audra\u2019s love interest Luka and Claudia is a fun character too. The villains of the book are definitely frightening. You don\u2019t know when they\u2019re going to show up and do something horrible.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Also, this is so painful but true and it made me laugh:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">&#8220;If you speak three languages, you&#8217;re trilingual.

I&#8217;ve always wanted to explore more of that part of the world even if it&#8217;s just through a book. I loved seeing lots about Croatia and Poland and ancient churches and monks!\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Then there&#8217;s the Progeny\/Utod world which is a whole other story where people have supernatural powers that can persuade people to do their wishes or take memories from the dying. It&#8217;s very unique.<\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">There are also a couple Easter eggs. I\u2019m not sure if Lee intended this but there is a character named Madge who owns a fly shop like Madge from the Hunger Games. There was a definite intentional Easter egg with Steven James\u2019 books mentioned when someone is reading one on a flight haha.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Epic Things<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">This wasn\u2019t epic per se but it was really sweet. At one point Audra invites a younger girl character who just had a great loss to sleep in her bed so she wouldn\u2019t be alone. I thought that was really precious. I also really liked when Audra threw her mask onto a camera during a time at court. That will make zero sense to people who haven&#8217;t read this, but those who have you know what I&#8217;m talking about haha. I also liked the crazy convention costumes for Progeny Court.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Theme<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Trust is a big theme. Audra doesn\u2019t know who to trust or not since she is being hunted. She comes to learn who her true friends are and to trust them unconditionally. Forgiveness is another one.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">&#8220;Forgiveness is enough, or it isn&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">~Claudia<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Content Cautions<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">This is a thriller so there is death and violence because the characters are being hunted by assassins. Several people are killed though mostly off-screen, some drowned, shot, or beaten to death. Some of the ways that the Blood Countess tortured and murdered hundreds of\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;\">girls is mentioned. A guy is beaten bloody. There is also an off-screen sex scene. The only swearing is a** is used twice and the main character says bi***inesss.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\">Some other miscellaneous things of note are Audra gets knock-out drunk near the beginning (she&#8217;s 21 she&#8217;s legal), someone flashes the bird, it\u2019s mentioned that a man tried to persuade a woman to have an abortion, mention of porn, mention of a possible gay relationship, and it\u2019s also mentioned that Hunters can \u201crape\u201d memories.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What We Can Take Away For Our Writing<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><b>Realistic Reactions &#8211;<\/b> Audra goes through a lot of crazy intense scenes where she deals with extreme shock, pressure, and sorrow.
