It’s set in the not-so-far future where this HTS Killer gene is well-known and government control is beginning, but we experience through our protagonist’ eyes the change in society into one that is morally unjust, and infinitely scary. We get to see the actual developments of a very scary dystopian society where people’s rights become non existent, and extreme measures are unfairly taken to control the country. What I found very interesting about this dystopian story, and also one that makes it stand out from the others, is how it doesn’t completely start out as one. The last thing Davy expected was to be found positive – her perfect life as a popular, smart, future Julliard student down the drain. Steeped in New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan's trademark mix of gripping action and breathless romance, this suspenseful tale is perfect for fans of James Patterson, Michelle Hodkin, and Lisa McMann.Ī quick read that leads us into a dystopian society where future killers can be identified with a gene test. The first in a two-book series, Uninvited tackles intriguing questions about free will, identity, and human nature. Davy wants to trust him maybe he's not as dangerous as he seems. Only Sean, a fellow HTS carrier, can relate to her new life. Davy doesn't feel any different, but genes don't lie. Her boyfriend ditches her, her parents are scared of her, and she can forget about her bright future at Juilliard. When Davy Hamilton's tests come back positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome (HTS)-aka the kill gene-she loses everything. The Scarlet Letter meets Minority Report in bestselling author Sophie Jordan's chilling new novel about a teenage girl who is ostracized when her genetic test proves she's destined to become a murderer.
