Genre: Young Adult Fiction, Dystopian
Format: Hardcover
Winter Kim and her sister, Rose, have always been inseparable. Together, the two of them survived growing up in a Korean orphanage and being trafficked into the United States.
Now they work as digital stunt girls for Rose’s ex-boyfriend, Gideon, engaging in dangerous and enticing activities while recording their neural impulses for his Vicarious Sensory Experiences, or ViSEs. Whether it’s bungee jumping, shark diving, or grinding up against celebrities at the city’s hottest dance clubs, Gideon can make it happen for you, for a price.
When Rose disappears and a ViSE recording of her murder is delivered to Gideon, Winter won’t rest until she finds her sister’s killer. But when the clues she uncovers conflict with the neural recordings her sister made, Winter isn’t sure what to believe. To find out what happened to Rose, she’ll have to untangle what’s real from what only seems real, risking her life in the process.

DeleteI have only ever read one other Paula Stokes novel and that was Liars Inc. But I really enjoyed that one so I am hoping to read another book of hers soon if I can in time! I like the sound of this one as well, so thanks for making me aware of it!
ReplyDeleteLiars Inc. was amazing, and now we even have to wait for this and her other new HarperTeen 2016 book, Girl Against the Universe! SHE IS AN AMAZING WRITER! This = sci-fi = perfection is the way I see this! XD
