This was a YA story about a kidnapping, set in a dystopian world with robots.

The characters in this were alright, but I didn’t really love them. Sure both had sob stories, but I didn’t feel like I really connected with them or cared about them all that much.

The storyline in this was about Victoria being kidnapped and held for ransom because she was the daughter of the man who invented the robots. We also had Sam who was dragged into the kidnapping by his cousin, and ended up being held captive as well. We got a bit of world building, with people complaining about how robots had taken human’s jobs, and a bit of a weird romance between Victoria and Sam towards the end, but this book was missing something for me, and it struggled to hold my interest.

The ending to this was okay, and we did get a surprising twist.

First of all, I'd like to thank Barclay Publicity, NetGalley and Kate Avery Ellison for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion. I really liked the idea of a dystopian world revolving around the idea of robots taking over humans jobs. I Aldo led the twist near the end but otherwise, I didn’t enjoy it. The writing was fine and the world building was good but it was slow going.

What a fantastic read this book kept me on the edge of my seat till the very last word

This was a very, very strange mix of mystery, sci-fi and YA romance that, I'm afraid, didn't really work for me.
For the most part, I was bored by the story, feeling indifferent toward the main characters and/or annoyed with the perpetually changing POVs, and while I didn't hate this book, I certainly can't say I enjoyed it, either.
So two stars it is, plus half a star for the, admittedly, unexpected final twist.

This review is one that I struggled with. A good enough story, although not especially compelling for me. Sort of dystopian, kind of thriller, mostly young adult. Quick to read, almost as quick to forget.
