{Review} Linked @imogenhowson

Elissa used to have it all: looks, popularity, and a bright future. But for the last three years, she’s been struggling with terrifying visions, phantom pains, and mysterious bruises that appear out of nowhere. 

Finally, she’s promised a cure: minor surgery to burn out the overactive area of her brain. But on the eve of the procedure, she discovers the shocking truth behind her hallucinations: she’s been seeing the world through another girl’s eyes. 

Elissa follows her visions, and finds a battered, broken girl on the run. A girl—Lin—who looks exactly like Elissa, down to the matching bruises. The twin sister she never knew existed. 

Now, Elissa and Lin are on the run from a government who will stop at nothing to reclaim Lin and protect the dangerous secrets she could expose—secrets that would shake the very foundation of their world. 

Riveting, thought-provoking and utterly compelling, Linked will make you question what it really means to be human.

As a child, I loved reading so much that I not only read in bed, at the table and in the bath, but in the shower and – not so successfully – on my bicycle.
I enjoyed books in a slightly unorthodox way, too – many of my childhood books have ragged edges where I tore paper from the margins in order to eat it.
I wrote my first book at eight. It was entitled The Dragon in the Teapot and would probably have been a huge hit if I hadn’t lost the only copy on a family day out.
Some years later, armed with several different types of backups, I’m busy writing romantic science fiction and fantasy for young adults and adults.
I live with my partner, our two teenage daughters, and three cats, near Sherwood Forest in England. I still read in most places, but I no longer eat paper.
I’m a member of The Romantic Novelists’ Association, the group blogs The Lucky 13s and Author Allsorts, and the online writers’ community Romance Divas.  I’m represented by Mandy Hubbard of D4EO Literary Agency.

I really had high hopes for this one.  From the beautuiful cover to the summary it sounded like a win for me!  But unfortunally it fell flat on all accounts.  From characters that were mediocre to world building that was very confusing this one just fell short of a great book. I did however make it to the end.  This one I would recommend to someone who loves a combo of syfy in a dinotopian setting and doesnt mind that the story is on the slow side with every few action packed areas.  So this one is a 2 stars for me.  
"*I received a copy of this book for free to review, this in no way influenced my review, all opinions are 100% honest and my own."
