Description
What connects a new highly addictive gaming app, viral conspiracy theories by the mysterious Dark Court, and a fatal insomnia pandemic? Enter Lilith King, the world’s most famous cybercrime detective.
Lilith had always known she was different. Attitude to burn, for one thing. The strange chanting in her head since she was seven, for another. And then, the Aura, the sensory disturbance that makes her sick to the pit of her stomach, seemingly coinciding with the new, strange apparition that’s haunting her. She also has the ability to solve crime through touch alone. Together with Dr. Kace Westwood, a sleep specialist genius and a freak like her, Lilith must figure out whether the deadly insomnia pandemic is linked to the vagus chip implants being offered to all qualifying Unskills. Or are people’s language chips being hacked? And why is only the lowest soc-ed class being targeted?
In a desperate race against time to save billions of people, Lilith must confront shocking revelations about her origins and destiny, while attempting to save the one she loves.

4-4.5 stars.
I loved this book. I’ve already been recommending it to a few different people. I think it would make a great comic book or movie. I loved how unique the story was and I’m so glad I was able to get a hold of it early.
The way technology was woven through this and the concepts surrounding language were so interesting. It definitely makes you think about what the future will look like. It addresses sexism, class and is perfect for fans of conspiracy theories.
I’m hoping it releases in hardback so I can go buy a physical copy!

This is a really fun book if you like Bladerunner, Asimov, or scifi noire detective books. Lilith has always known she had psychic powers like her father, but as an orphan growing up on her own she's struggled to find her way in a futuristic tech society. Reading minds isn't always a gift as a dectective. After a fun night drinking, she's called into a murder case in while random low-level members of society seem to be dropping dead from insomnia at a school. She teams up with a doctor, Kace, and the two race to solve it as the bodies pile up. I won't spoil the ending, but this is a fun read. Great if you like classic scifi with a modern twist.
