daynight by Megan Thomason
Meet The Second Chance
Institute (SCI): Earth’s benevolent non-profit
by day, Thera’s totalitarian regime by night. Their motto: Because
Everyone Deserves a Second Chance™. Reality: the SCI subjects
Second Chancers to strict controls and politically motivated science
experiments like Cleaving—forced lifetime union between two people
who have sex.
Meet Kira
Donovan. Fiercely loyal, overly optimistic, and
ensnared by the promise of a full-ride college scholarship, Kira
signs the SCI Recruit contract to escape memories of a tragedy that
left her boyfriend and friends dead.
Meet Blake Sundry.
Bitter about being raised in Exile and his mother’s death, Blake’s
been trained to infiltrate and destroy the SCI. Current barrier to
success? His Recruit partner—Miss Goody Two Shoes Kira Donovan.
Meet Ethan Darcton.
Born with a defective heart and resulting inferiority complex,
Ethan’s forced to do his SCI elite family’s bidding.
Cleave-worthy Kira Donovan catches his eye, but the presiding powers
give defect-free Blake Sundry first dibs.
Full of competing agendas, romantic
entanglements, humor, twists and turns, daynight is Megan Thomason’s
debut young adult dystopian novel and first in the daynight
series.

Author Megan Thomason
Megan Thomason lives in paradise aka
San Diego, CA with her husband and five children. A former software
manager, Megan vastly prefers writing twisted tales to business,
product, and marketing plans. When she isn't typing away on her
laptop, she's reading books on her phone—over 600 in the last
year—or attending to the needs of her family. Megan’s fluent in
sarcasm, could potentially benefit from a 12-step program for road
rage, struggles with a Hot Tamales addiction, loves world travel
& fast cars and hates paperwork & being an
insomniac. Daynight is Megan's first published novel, but fourth
written one.
My Review:
This book was hard to resist and hard to put down. I enjoyed the world that was created and felt like this book laid down solid foundations for an AH-Mazing sauce series! Kira and Blake are immensely well written characters and the story just flowed. I think there were only a few times I had to double back and read again, but I think that was because of the unique way the book is written. The chapters alternate between the characters which to ME is a great thing, as it keeps the reader on their toes.
So my score sheet looks like:
Great Characters: CHECK
Good writing: CHECK
Awesome world building: CHECK
Do I recommend it? YES..erm..Check!
