Awakening
Release Date: 04/07/15
Entangled Teen
Summary from Goodreads:
A thrilling, futuristic sci-fi novel set in a unique and thought-provoking world, from author Shannon Duffy.
Desiree Six (because she was born on a Friday) believes in everything the Protectorate stands for. She likes the safety and security of having her entire life planned out-her career, her mate, even the date of her death. She doesn't even think to question when Darien, her childhood friend and neighbor, is convicted of murdering his parents. They had seemed like such a loving family. But if he was convicted, then he must have done it.
Then Darien shows up in her room late one night. He has escaped from the Terrorscape-a nightmare machine used to punish all Noncompliants-and needs Desiree's help. What he tells her rocks her world to its core and makes her doubt everything she's ever been told. With this new information, will Desiree and Darien be able to escape the Protectorate before it's too late?

Why
young adults need sci fi and dystopian type books?
Well
in my opinion, it’s not just young adults who need these kinds of books, but all
people, no matter the age. J
Personally, I love sci-fi, fantasy, dystopian, and paranormal books the
absolute most. Basically anything in books that can take me outside the realm
of the real or current world and way of doing things, I’m probably going to
like. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some contemporary too. It’s just that I
think it’s such a mental holiday to escape to another world or spice things up
with some magic or crazy futuristic technology, or a government that seems to
have everything in perfect order, but doesn’t. It just feels so creative and a
fun way to explore the impossible or unimaginable. I like to be taken to the
future or even the past, or to an alternate existence and way of living. To me,
it’s so creative and captivating to imagine all of the what ifs and hows? When
an author can make this kind of thing feel authentic, it allows the reader to
really immerse themselves into this world or way of life and follow the
characters as they struggle to survive or wade through their strange dilemma
they’ve found themselves in. Take me on a journey to the unusual, and I’m sold.
I
hope I managed to do that with Awakening and that readers enjoy the futuristic
world I’ve created. No matter how old I get, I know I’ll always love books that
take me away and allow me to experience something unique.
