Publisher Description
Lee Urban is living a lie.
In a society where everyone's DNA determines their destiny, being a Natural means automatic relegation to the gritty and dangerous Outskirts. With the harnessed power of gene-editing, the ability to create a super-human race has transformed the world and offered the opportunity of a genetically enhanced life. But only to those who can afford it.
Born a Natural, Lee Urban was adopted into the Enhanced high society of the Asian Federation and forced to conceal her genetic roots. When her dream of attending Peking University becomes a reality, she is determined to go despite a warning from a mysterious source.
Targeted by a hacker bent on exposing her true DNA, Urban faces off with an Artificial Intelligence Game that puts her—and her lies—to the test. What was supposed to be a dream come true turns into a lethal gamble of hide-and-seek with her genetics. Can Urban continue the act, or will the cracks in her story expose her and endanger her family?
Customer Reviews
I inhaled the story in a single breath.
I've been stuck in a reading rut, and this pulled me out. This was the "stay up way past bedtime" telling yourself "just one more page" kind of story from beginning to end.
It was fun, fast paced, and super relatable while also being imaginative with the world building and its portrayal of a future "genetic revolution." All the different abilities are unique and creative, with the most relatable aspect being that our protagonist is normal. Great twist on the typical trope or the MC being the only one with the special power.
SPOILER: There was definitely a set up for a book 2 and the worst part of reading this right after it came out was gobbling it up and immediately wanting the next one!
