“I don't want to have to save your life,' Chord says softly. 'Not when you can do it.”For all the high-intensity action and moral ambiguity of the premise in Elsie Chapman's Dualed, this book sort of just . . . exists. And that's all there is to it.

This review (and a giveaway!) is also on Living for the BooksThis book sounds so interesting and the cover makes it look so exciting and action packed right?

The general idea is this:When the universal cold vaccine had the nasty side effect of irreversible infertility, it ...
3.5 stars.Elsie Chapman’s young adult debut Dualed at first looks like it could roundhouse kick every other book near it off the shelf and crashing to the floor, but upon reading and closer inspection, Dualed may just trip over its own feet. Don’t get me wrong, Dualed was an action filled, pulse thu...

The assignment is initiated some time between the age of ten and twenty, after which the citizen has ...
