Science-fiction superstar and multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner Nancy Kress comes to YA in this brain-twisting thriller How far would you go? The Collapse has ransacked the economy, making work almost impossible to find and forcing Amy from college hopeful to sole provider for her terminally-ill grandmother and rebellious younger sister. To make ends meet, Amy auditions for a slot on a new reality TV show, which promises both a hefty salary and full medical benefits for her entire family. Somehow, she gets chosen, and she leaps to sign a contract despite her misgivings.   The show in which she’ll take part has an irresistible premise: audience members can win millions by predicting the behavior of each member of the cast in a crisis. But the producers are willing to do anything to maintain ratings, including using blatant setups, 24/7 surveillance, and even state-of-the-art holographic technology to simulate danger. But soon, the danger becomes all too real, and Amy—on and off the camera—must fight for her life….

However, what convinced me was the review written by Gabby from Chapter by Chapter (Review h...

Flash Point by author Nancy Kress is officially on my top twenty list of favorite novels of all time. It made me laugh, cry and it even managed to thrill me to the point where I had no clue what would happen in the future of the novel’s plot. The first thing I think I should say to anybody who is re...

That was a strange read. Had so much potential but fell & fell hard. Sad when a book you're looking forward to leaves you wondering what the heck that just was? Full review to follow.

Going into this book I had no expectations. I didn't know what I was going to be reading. I had never read this author before, and to be frank, I doubt I will be reading this author again after this experience, which was not a very good one. Trying to articulate this in words will be fairly difficul...
