"Pia has grown up in a secret
compound hidden deep in the Amazon rainforest. She was raised by a team of
scientists who bred her to be the first of a new immortal race. Now those
scientists have begun to challenge her, with the goal of training her to carry
on their dangerous work.
On the night of her seventeenth birthday,
Pia stumbles across a hole in the electric fence that surrounds her sterile home.
Free in the jungle for the first time, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby
village. Unable to resist, she continues sneaking out to see him. As they fall
in love, they begin to piece together the truth about Pia's origin - a truth
with nothing less than deadly consequences that will change their lives
forever."
Review:
This book was interesting. The way the
characters of the scientists of Cam played out was definitely surprising, but
Pia and Eio's relationship was predictably expected, which was disappointing. I
realized that they would inevitably fall in love (hello! it says so in the
summary), but I was hoping that it was going to be an inventive, amazing, crazy
way of it happening. I'd like to say, however, that I'm glad this book went in
this direction. I read the first page, hoping for another star striking romance
and instead I was blown away by the Origin of Pia and everything surrounding
this enticing secret. To the ones looking for the next romance novel, I say to
you, step out and freshen up your reading choice; but don't worry, it won't
leave love completely in the dark.
