#Review of Linked by @imogenhowson with #Giveaway

Elissa used to have it all: looks, popularity, and a bright future. But for the last three years, she’s been struggling with terrifying visions, phantom pains, and mysterious bruises that appear out of nowhere. 
Finally, she’s promised a cure: minor surgery to burn out the overactive area of her brain. But on the eve of the procedure, she discovers the shocking truth behind her hallucinations: she’s been seeing the world through another girl’s eyes. 

Elissa follows her visions, and finds a battered, broken girl on the run. A girl—Lin—who looks exactly like Elissa, down to the matching bruises. The twin sister she never knew existed. 

Now, Elissa and Lin are on the run from a government who will stop at nothing to reclaim Lin and protect the dangerous secrets she could expose—secrets that would shake the very foundation of their world. 

Riveting, thought-provoking and utterly compelling, Linked will make you question what it really means to be human.

About the Author

                               ›Amazon | Facebook | Twitter | Goodreads | Website

As a child, I loved reading so much that I not only read in bed, at the table and in the bath, but in the shower and – not so successfully – on my bicycle.

I enjoyed books in a slightly unorthodox way, too – many of my childhood books have ragged edges where I tore paper from the margins in order to eat it.

I wrote my first book at eight. It was entitled The Dragon in the Teapot and would probably have been a huge hit if I hadn’t lost the only copy on a family day out.

Some years later, armed with several different types of backups, I’m busy writing romantic science fiction and fantasy for young adults and adults.

I live with my partner, our two teenage daughters, and three cats, near Sherwood Forest in England.  I’m a Christian, a feminist, and a lover of cheese, chocolate, stationery shops and eighties pop music. I still read in most places, but I no longer eat paper.

 1 Star- DNF- Wasn't for Me

I really had high hopes for this one.  From the beautuiful cover to the summary it sounded like a win for me!  But unfortunally it fell flat on all accounts.  From characters that were mediocre to world building that was very confusing this one just fell short of a great book. This second time around trying to read and finish this book didnt happen. I only got half way through chapter two this time.  This one I would recommend to someone who loves a combo of syfy in a dinotopian setting and doesnt mind that the story is on the slow side with every few action packed areas.  So this one is a 1 star for me.

"All opinions are 100% honest and my own."
