Uninvited By Sophie Jordan
Genre: Young Adult Sci Fi
Personal Rating: 9/10
I read this book a few month back but it is definitely on the list of my top ten favorite books,so I had to write about it.This may be science fiction, but you've never seen a world quite like that of Davy Hamilton's. In Uninvited scientists have discovered what they call the "killer gene." Or Homicidal Tendency Syndrome (HTS). Davy Hamilton's perfect life is shattered when she testes positive for HTS. She's kicked out of her private school, her friends are terrified of her, and Julliard revokes her acceptance letter. In the eyes of society, Davy is already a killer, because genes don't lie. Only Sean, a fellow HTS carrier, can relate to Davy's knew life, and only he treats her like she's still a person. Even though Sean carries the black H tattoo on his neck--a sign that he has already acted out and been punished--Davy can't see him as the killer society has made them both out to be.
Uninvited is an amazing book with a very potent theme about labeling, and how we push people into becoming what we tell them they are. A modern twist on The Scarlet Letter. The plot is riveting and I couldn't put it down once I started. It is the first book in a two book series and the second book, Unleashed, comes out on February 24th of this year.
