Experiment 318:
Gone Rogue
Shay is scientific experiment #318. Science may have created her, but she
refuses to allow it to blind her to the difference between right and wrong…
Synthetic Hominid Assumed Youth (S.H.A.Y.) is eighteen years old, which means
she has completed Phase One: Develop ;mental. Shay no longer requires the
assistance of her Optional Human Parent, Darla, who has guided her in the
process of disc
overing her morality. Shay loves her easy, charming life aboard the marine research facility and doesn’t want it to change.
overing her morality. Shay loves her easy, charming life aboard the marine research facility and doesn’t want it to change.
Phase Two: Experimental. All S.H.A.Y. ages 18-20 will experience loss…
Darla shouldn’t have to die because of an experiment. The thought of losing the
only parent she’s ever known is too much. Determined to make sure the
scientists at the facility don’t get their way, Shay entraps Darla in a
transport device to escape across the Miami Border. There, on the mainland, law
enforcement will keep her human parent safe.
Escape Mission: Failed…
Shay crashes into one of the Lone Keys off the coast of Florida, abandoned to
all humanity, except for the stranger who drags her ashore. Shay must get Darla
to safety or she will die of radiation poisoning trapped inside the Freeze
Portal, but Shay can’t do it alone.
The boy who found her, an Ersatz Reproduction Intelligence Clone (E.R.I.C.), is
her only hope. He has adaptation skills she needs to complete her mission. Eric
was created by the same scientists who want to kill Darla, though. She tries to
keep their interaction strictly business, but it’s hard to hate him. He’s
flirty, charming and not to mention devastatingly handsome.
Shay must put her trust in Eric’s hands if she wants to save Darla from her
fate. It may be worth her heart, but will it be worth her life?
DISCLAIMER: I received an e-ARC of this book as part of this tour, but I also purchased a copy recently.
My, my my! First of all, the title is very clever. I love how the acronym spells out what is considered a common name, but is just a short cut for their 'scientific' or 'experiment' titles. I totally love E.R.I.C. His character is super fun, and serious when needed. The friendship (and relationship) that formulates between them is very catching. I love how Shay doesn't know if she really wants to trust him, but in a way, she does.
My Rating: 4.5 of 5 Stars.
Great weekend read, I would say since I read it in a weekend. I definitely read this one slower, wanting to absorb every detail I could without rushing to the finish and not be able to keep going. I definitely need the next book. Must know what happens!
