I read this book during Hurricane Sandy and I told myself I would not review any books during that time. I do have to say that Evan Angler has a great mind. This book is so life like. I can totally see this happening in America in the not so far future.

The mark is essentially Big Brother's human bar code. Without a mark, you are not eligible to earn money, spend money or have...

E-galley received from Netgalley for reviewI was excited to receive Swipe by Evan Angler for review from Netgalley. I was expecting a young adult novel, but I'd say this is more middle grade. It's very good, though, and although it is the first one in a series (again!), the sequel comes out in Septe...
