Description
Everyone is watching.
Minka Stanis just wants to be left alone—impossible since the Eyes record and broadcast every moment of her day. Then a humiliating incident in the high school cafeteria makes her the laughingstock of her tower city, and life behind the glass walls becomes unbearable. When the intriguing new boy at school tells her about a place away from the gaze of the cameras, Minka plots her escape from the towers. But the Shuttered Lands are across the desert, and going there will mean leaving everything she’s ever known behind.
Fresh out of tower training, Zedd Fincher is settling into his dream job. When he gets assigned to edit Minka Stanis’s Stream footage, he spins her every misstep into a string of hit clips. As Minka’s fame grows, so do Zedd’s feelings for her. But a crisis at home brings the darker side of his work into focus. And Zedd soon learns editing other people’s lives has consequences.
As Minka is thrust unwillingly into the spotlight and Zedd’s life begins to unravel, only one thing is certain:
The Eyes are always watching.

Featured Reviews
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
So I was off to a rough start with this one. I’m not sure why, at the start it was coming off a little cheesy and childish (ex: the names, they still kind of bother me. Like some are just normal names with a letter changed or missing, like “Lortni” or “Teve”). Anyway, stick with it! A few of the details are a little cheesy, but the overall premise and the story are great.
It’s a rather unique dystopian setting, there’s “big brother” (the eyes) watching your every move, the trustees are monitoring everything you say to keep you in line, and there’s no escaping it. There’s no privacy and anyone can watch your any move. The main character, Minka, decides she can’t live like this and needs to escape. Our other main character, Zedd, is going to help her.
It really was a great read, hopefully I don’t have to wait too long for the next one!
