It's nice to come across a British author who can more than hold her own with some of the most popular YA series in bookshops at the moment. I really, really enjoyed it and found myself unable to put it down. I was gripped by the adventure that unfolded but also liked the touches of romance and the strong bond between siblings that came across so well. Packed full of suspense, the story hurtles along, hardly giving you time to breathe as Cass finds herself in some desperate and dangerous situations. With her mother and father dead she is determined to protect Jori no matter the cost. The main character Cass lives on the island of Hope, where she and her younger brother Jori seek shelter from the horrors of the world. Super strong and fast, they begin to destroy everything in their path, leading to families literally fleeing for their lives. The plot is about a society which has been taken over by the Fearless - people who have been injected with a serum which takes away their emotions: fear, hate, love and their empathy for other human beings. I could definitely see the story transferring well to the big screen because everything was so well depicted and it had all the right ingredients to make anyone a fan of the series. The characters and the story concept were both brilliant and had me completely hooked.
I haven't actually read Emma Pass's first book 'Acid' yet so I wasn't sure what to expect from her writing, but I loved it. I was in a bit of a reading slump until I picked up this book and it was just what I was looking for, a fast-paced story which led me on an exhilarating, terrifying and nail-biting journey. Read more happened on that dark night two years ago.'The Fearless' by British author Emma Pass is pretty much awesome from start to finish. And when a mysterious rebel group breaks her out, she must use her strength, speed and skill to stay one step ahead of ACID – and to uncover the truth about what really. The only female inmate in a violent high-security prison, Jenna has learned to survive by any means necessary. And it was ACID agents who locked Jenna away for life, for a bloody crime she struggles to remember. No throwaway comment or muttered dissent goes unnoticed – or unpunished. In Jenna Strong’s world, ACID – the most brutal, controlling police force in history – rule supreme. No throwaway comment or muttered dissent goes unnoticed - or unpunished.
