Slumber
She wiped her brow with her right arm before pulling her sleeves to her elbows revealing a simple black tattoo on her left forearm. The characters "23C9T798Z" had been etched into her skin the day she was born. It was a part of her. It was her name.
Two-3, as her family called her, had always had questions. Did she voice them? No. No one questioned things, but she knew she wasn't the only one with doubts. Or was she? Her father had vanished years before leaving Two-3 and her little sister, Eight-R, to be raised by their mother. Most days, however, the daughters were the caregivers. A state-mandated drug kept their mother in a drunken stupor.
When Eight-R vanishes while participating in a new government treatment program Two-3 has no choice but to seek answers. What she finds is far worse than she had ever imagined.

Slumber was like nothing I have read before and what I consider a must read. It has an original captivating story line, very likable characters, it's very descriptive, and has what I consider to be a real life feeling. The book develops at a great pace (not to fast nor to slow) and will keep you turning the page. The budding romance is very life like and will be sure to make you smile.
Slumbers is like nothing you have read before but it is comparable to The Hunger Games in the sense that the community is set up in districts, in a future time, and that Two-3 (a main character) starts to question the government. When she starts exploring, looking for her sister, she realizes that her beliefs and what she has been taught about the government may not be so true.
Favorite quote:
“I’ll be as bad as you want me to be,” he said with a sly grin.
She shook her head. “Don’t ruin it.”
