Publisher Description
The heart-stopping first chapter in bestselling author Jessica Shirvington's Disruption series.
What if a microchip could identify your perfect match?
What if it could be used against you and the ones you love?
Eight years ago, Mercer Corporation's M-Bands became mandatory. An evolution of the smartphone, the bracelets promised an easier life. Instead, they have come to control it.
Two years ago, Maggie Stevens watched helplessly as one of the people she loved most was taken from her, shattering her world as she knew it.
Now, Maggie is ready. And Quentin Mercer -- heir to the M-Corp empire -- has become key to Maggie's plan.
But as the pieces of her dangerous design fall into place, could Quentin's involvement destroy everything she's fought for?
In a world full of broken promises, the ones Maggie must keep could be the most heartbreaking.
Ages 14+
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
YA author Shirvington's solid dystopian thriller for adults depicts a near-future America in which everyone turning 18 is fitted with "M-Bands" that can detect pheremonic compatibility, allowing people to find romantic partners. Those who register as "negative" with too many people are culled from society. Maggie Stevens's father was one of the culled, and Maggie, who's based in the Washington, D.C., area, has spent years attempting to find where he was taken. Her efforts involve breaking and entering, occasional acts of violence, and blackmail. The latter is what she uses to keep her hacker accomplice in line and to manipulate the rich and handsome heir to the M-Band fortune for her own purposes. Shirvington (the Embrace series) has a knack for writing tense action sequences and for classic YA romantic tension. A well-crafted twist sets up the next book in the series.
