by Conner Walworth
Rating: 4/5

I was provided a free copy of this book by the author. Thank you so much! All opinions are my own.
Sasha is the youngest scientist of this new generation and has pioneered the way to a whole new level of genetic engineering… but little does she know, that’s going to spell trouble.
After countless years of hard work at Gentec Laboratories, she’s made an amazing breakthrough. Sasha has created her own strands of DNA, not just from current species, but ones that have been long extinct. Her specialty: predators.
Just as things are being finalized on her latest creation, she wakes up in a forest without any memory of arriving. It takes only seconds to realize she’s no longer on Earth, and even less to realize she must fight to survive.
While exploring, she meets a friend, and together, they agree to go on a journey to escape this planet. The only thing is, the further they travel, the more Sasha begins to realize what this place could be. Doubts seep into her mind as they travel deeper into this strange world. More than skill will be needed to escape this place; they’ll need luck and a lot of help. Some of that is found along the way, but with it comes secrets from the past and dire warnings of what lies ahead.
Can these two, a scientist and a hunter, make their way off this harrowing planet alive? An incredible, and terrifying, adventure lies ahead! - Amazon.com
This book was promoted to me as a dystopian, sci-fi, action adventure book and so going into it was was skeptical. Since I read a lot of dystopian I'm highly critical of world building, the science, and how far the book stretches reality to make it fit into these themes. But I was highly surprised when I actually liked this book. I thought this book was very well written and the characters really jumped out to me as highly developed and relatable.
However, I felt that the story had A LOT going on with it and sometimes it could be a bit confusing and exhausting to read this book. The pacing also was a bit too fast for my liking and I felt like I was running a marathon and there was no chance to stop and breathe. I liked the science element behind it as well but I did think that it did stretch a bit too far for me.
Verdict: If you're into sci-fis or dystopians or both then this book would be good for you! Especially if you're a Jurassic Park fan.
