Emma Sawyer is thrilled to start her new life leading a pet project for Atticus Yates but she left behind a secret that might ruin all the progress the Weathermen have made toward find the hackers in this sensational romance. Another great story in the Weathermen series and I have to say that while I am fascinated by the intrigue and suspense of the plot, I am also getting quite a kick out of  watching the Weathermen fall one after another.

I had high hopes for this interesting dystopian world. The idea of a genetic predisposition to violence fascinates me and I was curious to see how the authors wove it into a "normal" society. The story moved quickly and while I enjoyed the pacing, this was not a "home run" book for me.

Lucas is a well written character and I enjoyed getting to know him. His innate need to prove the system wrong about his violent "genetics" is what motivated him to survive the Bake Shop. Having watched his older brother crumble after his stay in the Bake Shop, Lucas was ready to fight "the man" (aka government) by not only controlling his temper, but by coming out of their tests unbroken. It was his strong will that made his character shine.

Unfortunately, Lucas is the only character we really get to know and that was disappointing. His roommate Chris was an integral part of the story, but we didn't really get to know him at all. Their friendship could have been developed much more. Carly's character was shallow and frustrating to read. By the end of the story I was left wanting much more.

I don't normally discuss the ending of a book, so suffice it to say that I was disappointed in the epilogue. Hardwired had some great potential and with a little bit of refining and more character depth could have been up there in the top dystopian books - Hunger Games, Mazerunner, etc- but it was a solid 3 for me.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. I was not monetarily compensated for my opinion.

It finally happened, I've finished a book! This is my first book finished since having my daughter 2 months ago.  Cheers to finding time to do something I love while taking care of my little peanut.  Review to come! 

So far I'm really  enjoying the story. I love that there are basically no introductions, we just jumped right into the middle of Lucas' experience. After over two months without reading a word I think this will be a great book to get me back into the swing of things.
