STARTERS AND ENDERS:
Starters by Lissa Price
Its Not What's Inside That Counts So Much As Who's Inside!
The
place seemed like something out of a nightmare, people too friendly to
be sincere, a deal too good to be true and all for the low price of her
body to rent out to the highest bidder. Three rentals and it would be
over, she would sleep through the whole thing and all in the blink of an
eye she would have her body back, her life back and a large sum of cash
for her trouble.
The cash was the only reason she
ever considered it in the first place. With her little brother all she
has left in the world she had to protect him, and a life on the streets
was doing nothing for his health. But when she wakes to find herself
living a life that is not her own, with cash in one hand and a gun in
the other, she uncovers the beginnings of a murderous plot, but is she
able to hold on to her body long enough to stop the murder and save
herself.
Starters are treated as second class citizens in
this new post war world. With no legal rights many starters are forced
to live on the streets, or worse they end up in prisons. In a world that
exploits, captures and brutalizes its children, where lives are brought
and sold and no one is who they seem, this dystopian story makes you
wonder at the possibilities, and give you nightmares of a world gone
wrong.
