Awakening by Shannon Duffy (Review)

Title: Awakening
Series: Standalone
Author: Shannon Duffy
Published: April 7, 2015 Entangled Teen
Format: E-arc
Pages: 352 per Goodreads

Desiree Six (because she was born on a Friday) believes in everything the Protectorate stands for. She likes the safety and security of having her entire life planned out—her career, her mate, even the date of her death. She doesn't even think to question when Darian, her childhood friend and neighbor, is convicted of murdering his parents. They had seemed like such a loving family. But if he was convicted, then he must have done it.

Then Darian shows up in her room late one night. He has escaped from the Terrorscape—a nightmare machine used to punish all Noncompliants—and needs Desiree's help. What he tells her rocks her world to its core and makes her doubt everything she's ever been told. With this new information, will Desiree and Darian be able to escape the Protectorate before it's too late?


This is my first read by author Shannon Duffy, and I have to say - I am impressed.  I absolutely love unique reads like this.  If you into post apocalyptic and tech, then I think you will love this.  Now this book is more on the YA side, but a mature YA.
