Revived

I write this on the last day of my summer vacation. So sad... It's been a summer of books for me and most have been a great ride. The last of the summer is Revived by Cat Patrick. It is about a girl involved in drug trials for a drug called Revive. It does just what you think it does, it brings you back from the dead. Daisy is one of 21 kids involved in the program. She lives with her handlers who keep an eye on her. Every time she dies, she must relocate. The last  time she dies, they head to Omaha where she meets Audrey and Matt, siblings. She allows herself to make friends and get involved in a relationship. When she discovers Audrey's secret, she wants to help her and Matt, but knows to reveal her secret could put both their lives in danger. The evil head of the program is watching from the wings as Daisy gets close to his secrets as well. Daisy must figure out what is going on while trying to keep Matt and Audrey safe and getting her "father" Mason to believe her. All does not end well in this story. The villains get what is coming to them, a little too neatly and Daisy is a likeable girl. Again I find myself relating more to the dad- man I'm getting old. So, not a bad way to end the summer, but not my favorite. I will try and pick my top ten summer reads in the next few days and let you know what I decide. Until then, I slowly walk back into my classroom to share my love of books with my new classes. Hopefully they will enjoy them as much as I have. Happy reading my friends.
