Synopsis:
Sixteen-year-old Noa has been a
victim of the system ever since her parents died. Now living off the grid and
trusting no one, she uses her hacking skills to stay anonymous and alone. But
when she wakes up on a table in a warehouse with an IV in her arm and no
memory of how she got there, Noa starts to wish she had someone on her side.
Enter Peter Gregory. A rich kid and the leader of a hacker alliance, Peter needs people with Noa’s talents on his team. Especially after a shady corporation threatens his life in no uncertain terms. But what Noa and Peter don’t realize is that Noa holds the key to a terrible secret, and there are those who’d stop at nothing to silence her for good. |
I
thought that the story started off really well. Noa wakes up in what first
appears to be a hospital, with no recollection of how she got there or why she
doesn’t remember. The good news is that her memory is not completely wiped. Noa
does know who she is and all the moments in her life previously, just not after
she was taken.
Sick
of being bounced around from foster home to foster home, Noa decided to put her
hacking skills to good use by creating a sort of new life for herself where she
live on her own.
Apparently
not only is this girl a good hacker, but she can also kick butt and take names
later. Noa can easily and quickly adapt to whatever situation she is put in. I
liked her. She is a pretty tough cookie.
As
for Peter, he is completely different from Noa; he is a rich teen, living the
good life.
His
problems begin after he discovers some suspicious information in his father’s
desk. He tries to research what he found on his computer, but his efforts are
thwarted when several mysterious guys storm into his home and take his laptop.
His parents seem to have the answers, but they aren’t willing to give him the
full scoop. He is warned that he is snooping into something that does not concern
him.
He
ends up meeting Noa when he goes online to request help in decoding the information that
he found.
Noa
and Peter are two teens with their own set of problems. But it turns out that
that they are both connected by the information Peter discovered. But how and
why remains to be seen unless you read the book J
The
story begins with a bang and doesn’t completely let up throughout the whole
book. I was a little surprised. Oftentimes when a book begins strong it tends
to lag in the middle, but I didn’t feel it did that with this one. I was highly
entertained and never bored.
The
ending left more questions than I would have liked, but there is a second book Don’t Look
Now that was just released over the summer. Hopefully my questions will
be answered in that one.
RATING: 4 out of 5.
