Don't Turn Around by Michelle Gagnon
Noa is a hacker. When she wakes up on an operating table in an old building, she realizes someone has kidnapped her. In her daring escape, she makes her way to her safe house. Noa is an orphan and has been surviving on her own for years. Peter is the son of rich parents. He has everything he wants, car, girlfriend, easy access to money. He is also a hacker. When he stumbles on some secret files in his father's desk, he brings a secret organization to his door. As Noa and Peter's paths cross, they realize they are both involved in some dreadful experiment. A corporation has been kidnapping kids and using their parts to find a cure for a mysterious disease called Pema that is killing the youth population. Noa finds out that she is the key to the cure. As Peter tries to help her, they find themselves in more and more trouble with nowhere to turn. Where do you hide when your every move is tracked? If you can't trust the FBI to help, who can you trust? A fellow orphan decides to help Noa escape, but she has to leave Peter behind to get away. How will two teenagers bring down a multi million dollar corporation to save the street kids? I'm sure we will find out in the sequels to come. This was a fast paced story with many ethical dilemmas. Do you sacrifice a few to save many? There is something for everyone in this one, action, romance, chase scenes, and an evil faceless enemy. Give it a read. In the meantime, I am expecting a box of fun today- Raven Boys, Seconds Away and other new books. Where will I start and how will my papers get graded. I'll think about that tomorrow- for now, happy reading my friends
