Two dimensions - And the girl who connects them.
Yesterday, Drea Smith couldn’t do anything spectacular—even walking and texting at the same time was a challenge. But today, she suddenly has more answers than Google, can speak and understand numerous languages, and she can fight. Like a boss.
Super freaky.
Drea has no idea where her encyclopedic knowledge has come from, but she’ll take it when she discovers someone out there knows her secret and wants her badly. And that they’ve been searching for her since she was born.
Since she was created.
With the help of her best friend Dylan, who just wants to keep her safe, and Maddox, a mysterious new boy who is prepared to get her answers, Drea will have to push her new skills to their limit as she uncovers nothing is quite what it seems.
As she uncovers…Eugenica.
I love a great Sci-Fi so when I read the summary of Road to Eugenica I was immediately intrigued. I found myself unable to put this book down and when I was done, I wished I had the next book in my hand. And I have to say, this isn’t listed as a series on Goodreads but there better be a second book…
Drea has always been accident prone and thankfully she has had her best friend, Dylan, to help her. When suddenly Drea can speak multiple languages and is now super coordinated and able to fight, she starts to wonder what the heck is going on. As her best friend, Dylan is always there to support her but when a new boy, Maddox, comes to school, she starts to connect with him and questions whether she wants something more with Dylan or with Maddox.
When something happens early on in the book that completely changes Drea’s world, things change drastically for her. Not only is she dealing with these weird things, but she finds out her everyday life isn’t really what she thought it was and she needs to figure out what she is going to do and who she can trust.
I thought Rose did a fantastic job of creating this unknown world for Drea and seeing her navigate her way through and then ultimately realize what was going on and what she needed to do to survive. Drea showed some growth from start to finish in this book and although she was faced with a decision around the Dylan/Maddox thing, that wasn’t the main focus of the book.
There really isn’t much more I can say as I don’t want to give anything away but consider putting this one on your to be read list. It has plenty of action, a lot of twists and one heck of a cliffhanger that has me needing a follow up book in my hands right now. If you are looking for a story that will have you wondering what will happen next and keep you turning the pages to find out, definitely consider checking this one out. I will be watching for more from A.M. Rose and will waiting impatiently for the next book.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
