Edge of Truth by Natasha Hanova
Publication date: June 6th 2013
by Sapphire Star Publishing
Genre: YA Dystopia
Synopsis:
Citizens who report to work on time, obey the Overlord’s laws, and stay off the Synbot’s radar, live long lives. Long, dull, monotonous lives.
It’s not a bad plan for someone with a hidden, emotion-based ability to trigger earthquakes. In a world pitted against her, sixteen-year-old Rena Moon strives for a life beyond working herself to death at the factory. Seeing an alternative, she risks selling relics from the forbidden lands at Market. It becomes the worst decision she ever made. Someone kidnaps her best friend in exchange for the one thing that would end her oppression.
Driven by loyalty, Rena and seventeen-year-old Nevan Jelani, soulful composer, green thumb extraordinaire, and the secret love of her life, plot to rescue her friend and reclaim her salvage. Still, the thought lingers whether Nevan is a true hero or another thief waiting for his chance at her loot. Events spin wildly, deepening Rena’s suspicions and pushing her limit of control. With more than her chance for freedom at stake, she must decide if she’s willing to kill to protect what’s precious to her. For once, the Overlord isn’t holding all the power, but can Rena live with being reduced to what she’s trying so hard to escape?

My Review
5 of 5 Edge Of Truth
Edge Of Truth is a PHENOMENAL dystopian read! I like dystopians but I don't read enough of them to be an expert like my girl Kayleigh but I will say that this book took the cake. Man there was so much going on and every time I thought it was one way it was really another way. This kept me hooked liked no other because I wanted no I needed to keep reading because I needed to find out what was happening. The world Natasha has created and crafted is absolutely amazing!
The rules are simple follow these rules and you will live disobey or break the rules you will be punished. So the rules are easy just obey the overlord's laws, report to work on time, and stay away from the synbot's and you will be fine. Break these rules and you will be punished.
Rena is a 16 year old with a secret and that secret could get her killed. See Rena has a special ability that is triggered by her emotions so she tries to stay calm all the time. Sometimes are harder than others to control her emotions but for the most part Rena has great control. She works in a factory and for extra money she illegally sells relics from the forbidden lands at the local market. Rena is just living day to day when one day her best friend is kidnapped. The kidnappers want something from Rena but the question is whether or not she will give it to them.
Rena enlists the help of her secret crush Nevan but as they start planning to rescue her best friend Rena wonders if Nevan is out for her loot or is he really serious about helping Rena find her best friend. Then things start to go downhill and Rena is starting to lose control. Will she be able to control her special powers? Will she risk everything for her best friend? Will Nevan prove to be something else or will he really show her he cares about her and finding her best friend?
This is a must read dystopin for the summer that will leave you breathless and wanting more!
