Acid

Acid - Emma Pass

The year is 2113. In Jenna Strong's world, ACID—the most brutal controlling police force in history—rule supreme. No throwaway comment or whispered dissent goes unnoticed—or unpunished. And it was ACID agents who locked Jenna away for life, for a horrendous crime she struggles to remember. But Jenna's violent prison time has taught her how to survive by any means necessary.

When a mysterious rebel group breaks her out, she must use her strength, speed, and skill to stay one step ahead of ACID, and try to uncover the truth about what really happened on that terrible night two years ago. They have taken her life, her freedom, and her true memories away from her. How can she reclaim anything when she doesn't know who to trust?

Strong, gritty writing, irresistible psychological suspense, and action consume the novel as Jenna struggles to survive against the all-controlling ACID.

THOUGHTS:

 Some parts of this book reminds me of the series called Uglies by Scott Westerfield. Do you remember the series I am referring to? It was such a popular book in middle school. If you don't remember or have never read that series, I think you should read it. I didn't like it so much. I did not finish read the whole series. I stopped at the third book. Learning about what is considered pretty or what it takes for you to be pretty was interesting to read about, but the characters were not. Acid reminds me a little bit of the Uglies. Acid incorporates the idea of plastic surgery and changing faces, but not for the reason to be pretty. The main character is on the run and so has to change faces. She is a wanted convict that eventually becomes a spy for a secret agency that is trying to bring justice to the corruption in the government. I kind of wished this book was a series. I think that the setting of the book was really cool. It is set in the future where there technology runs the world, so everyone has chips in their heads.

If you like adventure, danger, conspiracy, and there is some romance involved then this is the book for you. This book was a fast read and I wish it to be a series.

Rate: 4/5
