The Diseased Ones by Danielle Harrington (The Hollis Timewire Series #1)


Synopsis:

Life is easy in 2647, unless you're a Diseased One...

On the morning of her 16th birthday, Hollis Timewire receives the worst possible news. She can't become a citizen of the world. She's a Diseased One.

Born with a biomarker that bestows dangerous, brain-altering powers, Hollis is forced to hide underground with other Diseased Ones, who believe that the government falsified history to cover up their genocide.

Now Hollis must discover the truth, and is willing to risk anything, including her powers, to go back home.

Review:

Fantastic book from start to finish. Brilliant way to get you hooked into a new series and leave you hanging and wanting more. I absolutely loved this book and hate the fact that I now need to wait for the second book – I need more now.

Although this is fantasy, young adult sort of book – this book can be enjoyed by the more mature audience too – it’s so well written. Characters are real and likable, you have the bad with the good, the weird and the normal with a little bit of romance thrown in.

Hollis Timewire thinks she knows who she is and where her life is leading to. Until she fails The Test. In one moment here whole life comes crushing down, she is overwhelmed by a power she never knew was inside her, it terrifies and excites her at the same time.

Now she has to learn the truth. Thankfully she finds that life does not need to be void of friendships and emotions and can be very fulfilling. Her journey isn’t easy but she is surrounded by like-minded people that only seem to want the best for her, she just needs to learn to trust.

I cannot wait to read more, especially given the huge cliff-hanger ending!

Thank you very much to TBConFB and the author for this book.

Rating: 5/5
