- Fast-Tracked (Book 1 in the Fast-Track Triolgy)
on Feb. 15, 2012
This is an awesome book about love, loyalty, stalking and the perils of catching the eye of somebody in a far higher social station than yourself. Set in a dystopian society, where your high school results determine your social standing for the rest of your life, this book tells the story of a girl whi is fast-tracked - elevated by her results to the highest social status there is. However, it doesn't taker her long to discover that fast-trackers are rarely welcomed and high school results can be manipulated by those in power. Piss off the wrong person, and your child's life could be ruined. Catch the eye of the wrong person and you could find yourself fast-tracked - and trapped. Like many young adult novels, the quality of writing in this book is superb, the plot complex, and the story enthralling from the start. I am hooked and I absolutely cannot wait until the second novel is released.

This was a short, but interesting story about a drifter who finds himself stuck in a small town, discovers a horrifying local legend and stays to protect the the towns secrets. This was quite intriguing and an absorbing read. Recommended.
