Published: September 5, 2016
Genre: Young Adult, Dystopian, Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, Fantasy


Blurb:


On the brink of extinction, being human means more than just surviving. 

In Lib’s world, it’s dangerous to deviate from the norm. In fact, for someone who doesn’t live up to the Artificial Intelligence’s standards, it’s practically a death sentence. Lib learns this the hard way when she wakes up in a barren wasteland, with her memories erased, and only one thought lodged in her mind: 

“It’s all my fault.” 

Lib is a Glitch—an imperfect human component of the utopian world called the Norm. Now she’s thrown out, Lib will be forced to team up with another Glitch, Raj, and the mysterious Rogue Wolf and his clan to survive. Wolf only cares about the survival of his group, but Raj thinks they can hack the A.I. and change the Norm for the better. 

Now, Lib will have to decide which path to choose—whether to go with striking loner Raj or stay with Wolf and his tight-knit group. Her heart is drawn to both, but she’s carrying a deadly secret that could jeopardize them all. Will she be able to save her newfound family and stop the A.I. before it’s too late?

My Review:


A young girl wakes up with the hot sun beating down on her. The ground beneath her is dry and cracked. Her memory has been wiped. She doesn’t know where she is, where she came from or even what her name is. She hears someone scream and she knows she has to help them. She finds a girl Skye who looks to be about the same age as she is and after she rescues her Skye tells her that she is a glitch like her.

A Glitch is someone who has been thrown out of the Norm. A Glitch is someone who has not lived up to the AI’s standards. If you make a mistake then you are out no if ands or buts about it. The AI will not tolerate anything in its system that may cause a problem in the schedule.

Now she is all alone with no memories and with no clue of how to survive on the outside. But no problem her new friend Skye will take her back to her home with her and introduce her to other Glitches and the Tracker Clan. Well maybe there is a problem; a problem with the Clan and the clan is only out for number one and that is the Clan. Glitches and Clan may live together but Glitches are not a part of the family they are not clan and never will be. Glitches are used by the Clan to scavenge for them but with all due respect the Clan scavenges as well. But there is some things the Glitches can do that the Clan cannot do.

Over time parts of her memory comes to her in flashes and she remembers that her name is Lib. When Lib and Skye return to the caves where the Clan live Lib meets the leader of the clan Wolf who Lib thinks is hot but she meets another guy Raj and he is a Glitch like Lib and Skye.  Lib wants to be friends with both the Glitches and the Clan but that may not be possible for the Clan considering what the Glitches are. The Clan doesn’t know if they can trust them or not. Can Glitches change? Can they live on the outside or even want too?

Raj wants to go back to the Norm to live and he thinks that with Lib’s help they can fix the Norm so they can go back to live there. But Lib is not sure that is a good idea or if it is even possible. But when terrible things start happening to the Clan and everyone thinks that it is Lib’s fault she starts to rethink her position. Can they fix the AI so that hopefully she can change the Clan’s opinion of the Glitches and they can all live together in peace? Will she find out who she truly is? Will she get her memories back? Who is Lib? Who is Raj? Who is Skye? Who is Wolf? Who or What is the Clan? What is their story? To find out pick up your copy of The Glitch today to find out.

The world of The Glitch was so well thought out and it all came together brilliantly and I loved it. I loved that we got to know Lib and learned who she was at the same time she did. I also liked how the Glitches connected with the Norm and the AI. It was all so amazing and I can’t wait to read the next book The Empties.

If you like reading Young Adult, Dystopian, Science Fiction, Fantasy and Post-Apocalyptic then you are going to fall in love with The Glitch it is unlike any Dystopian or Post-Apocalyptic novel I have ever read. If this is your genre then this is your book. 


About the Author:

Ramona Finn writes about courageous characters who fight to live in broken, dystopian worlds. She believes a person's true characters is often revealed in times of crisis, and there is no greater crisis than the worlds that she drops her characters into! 

She grew up sitting cross-legged on her town's library floor--completely engrossed in science fiction books. It was always the futuristic world or the universe-on-the-brink-of-extinction plotlines that drew her in, but it was the brave characters who chose to fight back that kept her turning the pages. 

Her books create deep, intricate worlds with bold characters determined to fight for their survival in their dystopian worlds--with a little help from their friends. And, of course, romance is never out of the question ;)
