Blurb:
She didn't want to do it... But she was desperate.
Trying to escape the dangerous streets of Old Triton, the
buried city, Milla takes the ultimate risk
Could a dead girl's identity be her way out? A ticket to a
richer, brighter world high above the muck and gloom of her old life?
Now she's part of a high tech contest, with a prize beyond
money, fame and everything she has ever known. A chance to become something...
new.
But if anyone finds out who Milla really is, she's dead.
The other competitors come from privilege, their faces and
bodies tweaked to perfection. Rich and handsome Cale could be the most
dangerous of all. Why is he so interested in a scarred, ugly "sinker"
like Milla?
To survive, she needs to be brave.
To win, she needs to evolve.
Just try and stop her.
Skin Hunter is an upper YA science fiction novel - a
futuristic, dystopian thrill-ride with a spark of romance.
My Review:
Milla has worked for most of her life so that she can make
things better for her family. Every penny she makes goes to her plan of having
her family with her again and all of them living a better life than the one
they have been dealt. Milla wants nothing more than to have her family back
together again. So when that opportunity falls in her lap Milla jumps on with
both feet.
Taking the identity of a dead girl could get Milla closer to
having her family back if she plays her cards right. All she has to do is
pretend to be this dead girl long enough to enter a contest where the winner
will receive one million credits. If anyone finds out that Milla is not who she
says she is then she is dead.
I like how we got to see both worlds that were created in
Skin Hunter. Milla was from Old Triton where everyone live in shelters and work
all the time leaving then no time for doing fun things much less the money. Not
enough water for drinking much less taking a bath. I could just see Milla with
dirt all over her face and clothes so old and worn they were probably hanging in
threads.
But then New Triton is the total opposite of Old Triton with
all of the futuristic technology. In my mind I could just see the walls and the
equipment in New Triton in all its white and silver glory shinning like a new
penny.
Skin Hunter will suck you in from the beginning following
Milla from the old to the new rooting for her the whole way hoping she wouldn’t
get caught knowing that she deserved it all with how hard she has fought to
make a life for her family never once thinking about herself and that she could
keep her money or credits all for herself.
Even after entering her new world in New Triton she still
though about others and about helping them but you know sometimes you can try
as hard as you might to help someone and it turns out that they won’t accept your
help and turn on you then you have to fight for number one.
I have truly enjoyed reading Skin Hunter tremendously and
can’t wait for the next book in the series Skin Rebellion. Skin Hunter is one
book that I highly recommend to anyone that likes dystopian, science fiction, futuristic
technology, and young adult novels with a bit of romance and an overall fantastically
great story of the future.
