BZRK

BZRK by Michael Grant
The Armstrong brothers, Charles and Ben, are twins but they are no ordinary twins, they are conjoined. They own the Armstrong Fancy Gift Corporation (AFGC). Charles and Ben had such a horrible life they  wanted to spare the rest of the world the pain, so they invented nanobots that control human emotion. Their intention were good, no emotions no pain, but sometimes the worst experiences come from the best intentions. Enter Sadie Mclure, her father and brother also work for AFGC and are killed in a horrible accident. As the details of the accident unravel so does the secret they were keeping and Sadie is pulled into a war to save free will.

This is definitely science fiction and not for the squeamish. Grant goes into great detail about the way the nanobots enter the brain and control their host. I am not a big sci-fi fan but I really enjoyed this book. This is the first book in a series.

                                                                      

Blood Red Road - Book One - Dustlands Trilogy

Blood Red Road by Miora Young

I loved this book! It is a cross between The Hunger Games and Mad Max. Saba is an 18 year old girl living in the post-apocalyptic world of Silverlake, she is isolated and uneducated. The story is told in her voice the spelling and grammar mistakes were hard to get past but once I did I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Saba's twin brother Lugh is kidnapped and she must go out into a ruthless and lawless world to find him. Her less than cooperative little sister Emmi and a crow named Nero are her constant companions. She is eventually captured and taken to Hopetown, a brutal and unforgiving place, where she is forced to cage fight for the entertainment of the crowd. Saba must kill or be killed.
