Michelle Rowen: Count Down

Michelle Rowenin nuorille lukijoille suunnattu tieteisfantasiajännäri löytyi iBooks-sovelluksen ilmaisista kirjoista: Count Down (Harlequin Teen, 2013; ISBN 9780373210909).



Kirjan tarinassa on limitetty keskenään monenlaisia juonielementtejä, mutta lopputulos ei ole erityisen toimiva saati selkeä. Voi olla että tarinan elementeissä on jotain järkeäkin, mutta siinä määrin isoja aukkoja pomppasi esiin jo alkumetreillä että päätin lopettaa lukemisen.


3 seconds left to live. Once the countdown starts, it cannot be stopped.

2 pawns thrown into a brutal underground reality game.

Kira Jordan survived her family's murder and months on plague-devastated city streets with hard-won savvy and a low-level psi ability. She figures she can handle anything. Until she wakes up in a barren room, chained next to the notorious Rogan Ellis.

1 reason Kira will never, ever trust Rogan. Even though both their lives depend on it.

Their every move is controlled and televised for a vicious exclusive audience. And as Kira's psi skill unexpectedly grows and Rogan's secrets prove evermore deadly, Kira's only chance of survival is to risk trusting him as much as her instincts. Even if that means running head-on into the one trap she can't escape.
