GoodReads Description:
Ruby never asked for the
abilities that almost cost her her life. Now she must call upon them on
a daily basis, leading dangerous missions to bring down a corrupt
government and breaking into the minds of her enemies. Other kids in the
Children’s League call Ruby “Leader”, but she knows what she really is:
a monster.
When Ruby is entrusted with an explosive secret, she must embark on her most dangerous mission yet: leaving the Children’s League behind. Crucial information about the disease that killed most of America’s children—and turned Ruby and the others who lived into feared and hated outcasts—has survived every attempt to destroy it. But the truth is only saved in one place: a flashdrive in the hands of Liam Stewart, the boy Ruby once believed was her future—and who now wouldn’t recognize her.
As Ruby sets out across a desperate, lawless country to find Liam—and answers about the catastrophe that has ripped both her life and America apart—she is torn between old friends and the promise she made to serve the League. Ruby will do anything to protect the people she loves. But what if winning the war means losing herself?

Eva was never supposed
to have survived this long. As the recessive soul, she should have faded
away years ago. Instead, she lingers in the body she shares with her
sister soul, Addie. When the government discovered the truth, they tried
to “cure” the girls, but Eva and Addie escaped before the doctors could
strip Eva’s soul away.
Now fugitives, Eva and Addie find shelter with a group of hybrids who run an underground resistance. Surrounded by others like them, the girls learn how to temporarily disappear to give each soul some much-needed privacy. Eva is thrilled at the chance to be alone with Ryan, the boy she’s falling for, but troubled by the growing chasm between her and Addie. Despite clashes over their shared body, both girls are eager to join the rebellion.
Yet as they are drawn deeper into the escalating violence, they start to wonder: How far are they willing to go to fight for hybrid freedom? Faced with uncertainty and incredible danger, their answers may tear them apart forever.

I'm going to have another review up today (Immortal Eclipse). I want to apologize to Sherry for taking so long. Things have been sort of crazyballs this past week (fighting back against identity theft, screwing up my foot, 11+ hour workdays, Deprogrammed edits, etc). I'm hoping things calm down a bit so that I can get some more reading in while knocking out some writing. *fingers crossed*
