Life
First is
Book 1 of the Dystopian
Series created by RJ Crayton.
Kelsey Reed just gets marked. She is found
to be the best match for a man in Virginia with failing kidneys. According to
the law of Federation of Surviving States (FoSS), what was left of the former
United States after a pandemic that wiped out 80 percent of the population, the
government is to take one of Kelsey’s kidneys and give it to the ailing man.
Kelsey has no problem sacrificing a part
of her body, but, if she does, it must be on her own free will and not because
it is mandated by law. So, she decides to escape. In order to do that, however,
she needs to take out her life monitoring system.
Kelsey knows she cannot do it alone. She
needs the help of her boyfriend, her best friend, a shady doctor, and other
individuals who, unexpectedly, turn out to be on her side.
Told in the first-person perspective of
Kelsey Reed, this is a fast-paced, exciting, and suspenseful dystopian thriller
that will keep the readers on the edge of their seats. The plot is very unpredictable
with plenty of surprising twists and unexpected turns of events. It is made
more exciting and interesting by a combination of medical and court drama.
Scenes are described in vivid detail and dialogues are fitting. In addition to
the exciting plot, the author creates a set of interesting characters, some of
them quite endearing. Though the obvious favorite is Kelsey, I find Luke Geary
the ultimate hero while Susan Harper is the brave and devoted best friend.
Needless to say, I enjoyed the book
immensely. I find it thought-provoking. It questions how much the readers value
their freedom to decide over their own body. It is interesting, exciting, and
suspenseful. It is a great first installment for a book series.
