#BookReview: The Diseased Ones (The Hollis Timewire Series, #1) by Danielle Harrington

Synopsis: Life is easy in 2647, unless you're a Diseased One...

On the morning of her 16th birthday, Hollis Timewire receives the worst possible news. She can't become a citizen of the world. She's a Diseased One.

Born with a biomarker that bestows dangerous, brain-altering powers, Hollis is forced to hide underground with other Diseased Ones, who believe that the government falsified history to cover up their genocide.

Now Hollis must discover the truth, and is willing to risk anything, including her powers, to go back home.

Rating: ★★★
My Review: This book has been done before with books such as Delirium, Matched, and The Program. I was excited to see how this one was different from the others that I have read and although this premise was well done.  I failed to care for the characters.  I just wasn't invested in the lives of the characters at all which failed to have me connect with the story.  

Biography

Danielle Harrington is a high school chemistry teacher with a passion for the pen and a knack for storytelling. She got her undergraduate degree in Chemistry at Biola University, and although she's a hardcore science nerd, she's always been a lover of the arts.

She grew up acting and singing and has turned her love for drama into writing. Danielle lives vicariously through her characters and considers it great fun because she "gets to play all the parts".

Danielle lives in LA with her husband, Steven, and two cats, Moose and Turtle. She is working on a four book young adult dystopian fiction series, and she's beyond thrilled to be launching her debut novel, THE DISEASED ONES, through Acorn Publishing.
