Litmus #1
Losing Nuka
**Winner of the 2016 Kindle Book Awards** Raised by adoptive parents since the age of six, Nuka James starts questioning her past. Unable to get the answers she seeks, she goes in search of the one person who can tell her the truth—her birth mother. When her search leads her to Litmus, Nuka wants to prove she’s worthy. Litmus is the infamous underground club where Defectives use their supernatural abilities to fight it out for money, fame, and glory. Litmus is where you find out what you’re made of. Nuka wants to win her mother’s approval, but doing it without losing herself might be impossible. *** Litmus is a spin-off of The Institute Series. While it is set in the same world, and characters from The Institute make appearances, it can be read as a separate series. Losing Nuka is upper YA, suitable for people fifteen years and older.

Ok, so I love love loved the Institute series and was so very excited when I heard about this one. But, if you are expecting more of the same, you're in for disappointment. That's not to say it isn't amazing - because I actually think it's Ms. Howarth's best book to date.
We already know Nuka, the little girl from The Institute, Paxton's daughter. Well, she's all grown up now and she wants answers. She's been kept in the dark about the events that took place in Defective and no one seems to want to tell her the truth. She resents being lied to and that resentment turns into a contempt for the very people that raised her. She decides to set out on her own in search of a mother she never knew. Little does she know, her mother runs a team of fighters in an underground fighting ring. Glory is for the taking in Litmus, but that isn't what Nuka is after. What she finds is more than she bargained for.
Nuka is a great character. I like her just as much as I liked Allira. She's sassy and tough, but also willing to sacrifice herself for the people she grows to love. Ms. Howarth seems incapable of writing a book without multiple swoon worthy men and, on behalf of women everywhere, I'd like to thank her.

Excellent spin off from The Institute. I was so lucky and excited to have received an AR copy.
Any fan of the Institute series will love this one. It takes place after the war, when Defectives, or now known as Immunes, are trying to find their place in society. The story follows Nuka, Allira's adoptive daughter who never really found her place.
Nuka is dying to know about her real mother and seeks her out. But she finds her in the middle of an illegal underground fighting arena for defectives. Nuka will do anything to be closer to her birth mom and earn her approval, even if it's joining the team. Nukas emotions are haywire in this book but in comes Brett. Sigh. He was a life changer for Nuka. Not in the beginning but everything falls into place as it should. Well sort of.
Kayla Howarth does it again. Sucks you into the enticing world of the Defectives. Can't wait for the next one and the many more to come from this incredible author. Don't miss out on this one.

If you are like me and loved Kayla Howarth’s Institute series, you are going to LOVE Losing Nuka.
Set in the same world as the Institute series, after the events that unfolded in Defective, Nuka is all grown up and wants answers about her life and where she’s from. When she realises she isn’t going to get what she wants from the parents who raised her, she sets out in search of her birth mother. Little does she know that finding her will turn the world she knew on its head. Soon she is thrust into a world she never knew existed; Litmus, an illegal underground fighting arena.
I loved Nuka’s fierceness and attitude, and I really enjoyed the array of supporting characters (Brett was definitely a favourite), and I found myself truly despising the villains of the story.
Do yourself a favour and pick up a copy of Losing Nuka! It’s exciting, has twists you’ll never see coming, and hot guys and girls fighting it out in the ring. What more could you want?

W.O.W This book utterly amazed me. I'm a fan of this Author and have read her other works. She has catapulted to level expert in this novel. Funny, sexy, exciting, unpredictable; everything I love in a story. I truly hope this book gets the attention it deserves. I'll be getting this in print as soon as it's available.

My favorite series of all time, can be read alone but I recommend reading the institute series first.

Vastly different from The Institute, and the best yet from Kayla Howarth
I was a little uncertain about the Litmus series as a spin off from The Institute. Most of the time this kind of series just feels like the same old story but with new characters, names and places. That is definitely not the case with Litmus. We get to go back to revisit the world of The Institute, but things have changed. It’s years later and the world has progressed in some ways, while the prejudice against Defectives, now called Immunes, is still there, buried under the surface.
This was a much more mature book than Allira’s story. The author is more seasoned and confident, and the result was a fresh new start to a whole new story. Nuka does find herself facing a lot of the same issues Allira had to face, but she’s older and she’s a completely different person on her own path.
The dynamic between Nuka and Brett just sizzles right off the page. (I want more Brett, please!) And the relationship between Nuka and Sasha is endearing. I honestly loved everything about this book. The only little bit of criticism I have is the ending felt a little rushed, but it was a satisfying ending so I’m really not going to complain about that.
I can’t wait to see where the series goes in the next book, Protecting William. Fans of Dystopian will love the Litmus series, but I think this one especially will appeal to an older audience.

Excited to see the continuation of The Institute world, I jumped at the chance to read an ARC copy of Losing Nuka.
Right from the beginning, I felt sorry for Nuka. I mean, here’s a girl who is orphaned, and losing her dad at an early age and given up by her mother, she practically was forced upon Allira and Jayce. And although they have been nothing but supportive, I can certainly understand why she feels lost and wants to seek her birth mother. The anger she feels toward her adoptive parents is warranted in my opinion because they seem to be blocking her from obtaining the information she desperately seeks.
Then the journey begins. And boy does it begin. We follow Nuka straight into action, and the writing style of Howarth pulls you right in just as with the last series. I can’t comment on to much more because I definitely don’t want to spoil this one. There were a few shocking moments that reduced me to tears, along with some frustration moments toward certain characters in the book.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and highly recommend it. If you were a fan of The Institute Series, then you will especially love it too. I’ll be on the lookout to read the next book in the The Litmus Series. I think Howarth has another winning series on her hands.

Overall it was a good book now I must read the next in the Litmus series. I wanted to slap Nuka and tell her to get over herself. Wanting a mothers love is natural but what a mother she has seriously dysfunctional.

Excellent
I loved this book. It was so good to learn about Nuka and how she grew and discovered the truth about her birth parents. I love the new characters, as well as the old ones, and cannot wait to find out how everything end. So, into book 2 of the Litmus series...

Read
April 12, 2016I just had the distinct pleasure of finishing the first book in the Litmus Series, “Losing Nuka”, by Kayla Howarth. Personally, I think you should drop everything and read this book. Maybe call in sick tomorrow, download it to your e-reader and find a quiet place to sit and read. Overall, it was a great adventure!
What I Loved
I believe that if you want to write a great book, you need to really write great characters. Ms. Howarth has done that masterfully in this book. I really fell in love with the central character, Nuka. It made me genuinely care for her. However, it really doesn’t stop there. She also made me fall in love with her sister, Sasha, and her body guard, turned boyfriend, Brett. There are other characters in the story, but these are the ones I really fell in love with. When something happens to one of them, your heart races in agony because you hate to see anything happen to them. It’s genuinely good writing.
I love it when the writing style is clean. Kayla Howarth writes in an easy to understand, easy to follow, way. I never had to backtrack to find out what she was talking about and that is the mark of a truly great author. It’s logical and chronological. When there is a flashback of any type, she makes sure to tell the story through one of the characters. It really makes them come alive on the page. More importantly, it makes them seem real and that can be a challenge for even the most experienced authors.
Ms. Howarth also does a terrific job building a world for her characters to live in. While they are still the main focus, it didn’t seem necessary forced on them. The way they interacted with their environment seemed natural. Another plus is that the story does not over indulge on details where they are not necessary. She allows the characters to carry the story, not the world around them.
This story is really about a young woman and her fight for what’s right. Don’t let the fact that the story line is hung, at least partially, on her participation in an underground fight club, called Litmus, be a barrier to reading her book. Sports stories always come across as jargon-filled to me, but Ms. Howarth did an excellent job avoiding that trap. Even those who really don’t care for sports centered stories will enjoy this. The characters carry the story and not the world they function in.
Overall, I gave this a solid five stars because I thoroughly enjoyed it. It grabbed me by the nose and pulled me along through the story at a good pace. The story was well written, perfectly edited, and it made me pine for more. Kudos to Kayla Howarth.

I gotta be honest, I went into Losing Nuka with HIGH expectations. Coming off of reading the amazing, incredible Institute series, and knowing full well that the hot-off-the-assembly-line Litmus series took place in the same universe as The Institute, with many of the same wonderful and snarky characters, I expected to be dazzled from Page One.
What I did NOT expect was that this book would be so very different in tone and in plot. In the previous trilogy, there was something fundamentally, categorically wrong with society, in that people with superpowers (Defectives) were being persecuted, imprisoned or forced to live as outcasts. The fate of the world was at stake for our heroes.
Now, Defectives (renamed Immunes because... well, because it sounds less prejudicial, I guess) are a part of society, and the plot deals exclusively with the life of young Nuka, who is now eighteen and wants to track down her birth mother, who gave her up to The Institute when she was a baby. Soon, she finds herself involved in an underground version of MMA where Immunes do battle in a futuristic version of Fight Club, known as Litmus. (Rule One: Do NOT talk about Litmus.)
I will admit, at first I did not like Nuka, and the way she so blithely cast aside her loving adoptive family to pursue her quest for identity. But she grows a lot over the course of the story, and she grew on me, especially because of the relationships she has with her snarky sister Sasha and the hunky Brett. And while the story itself didn't have nearly as much tension or danger as any of the Institute books, the story did get better as it progressed, and the ending was just as awesome as I've come to expect from Kayla Howarth. Plus, it segued very nicely into the second book in the series, which I will be devouring with gusto as soon as it's released.
It's truly easy to see why this author is, very slowly, taking over the world. Soon, we will all be her humble minions.

Excellent, gritty story about just how messed up a society can get. I loved every minute of it.
For all the gritty backdrop, this is a coming of age story. It just happens to be a coming of age story with underground superhuman fighting in a damaged, but healing world. Nuka leaves her past behind to find out more about her true self. What she finds is shocking even to her.
Losing Nuka is book one of a three book series and, not gonna lie here, it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. Fortunately, the remaining books in the series are available now (Howarth must type like the wind), so you won’t get stuck waiting for the next book to read.

I loved Kayla Howarth's The Institute Series. But this book? This one blew me out of the water!
Losing Nuka is a continuation of The Institute Series. Only the focus is now on the kids from series one, all grown up and ready to kick serious butt of their own.
Howarth continues to impress with her array of well developed characters and crisp writing. I adored Nuka with her sassy, fierce attitude. Brett is the proverbial bad boy you can't help but fall in love with. And the younger sister, Sasha? Can't wait to read more about her.
Everything you loved about The Institute is still here, only amplified. The characters are still Defective, but their powers are being put to the test in an illegal underground fighting arena. Reminded me of UFC fighting, but only with special abilities. I loved every minute of it.
This book had it all. Humor, fighting, romance, and action. Howarth's writing pulls you in from the beginning and holds you spellbound until the unexpected ending. 5 out of 5 shiny stars! Can't wait for the next in the series.

Started out strong-heroine
Heroine looking to find herself. Enjoyable read as she overcomes obstacles. She has a temper on her, but stands up for what she believes in. However, the adults in her life are very weak. They do not help her when she finally asks for help.
While they are trying to take down the 'mob' they are ignoring why everyone is joining them aka the ghetto districts. They are ignoring the bigger picture.
Finally....almost nothing she did made a difference in the book in fact it's almost as if she has taken several steps back...She did save one person, but her charity falls apart, almost dies....I would've liked a little more hope at the end, but really the status quo remains the same.
She has at least learned to rely on herself and her friends, but a majority of her family on both sides have washed their hands of her with 1-2 exceptions.
Go Nuka fight and win.

I guess I went to this a little backwards..hahaha. I had added this book and the first book of the Institute on my kindle without knowing that these were related and ended up reading this book first.
But aside from my hiccup, I think this book (and series) has an interesting premise. The writing is very well done, although I started to get a little lost in the middle. Seemed like too much was getting packed in but it smoothed out later on. I did get a little frustrated by the main character and the predicament she ends up walking right into, but I still want to know what happens.
I do like it and am pleased to find another series (this and probably the Institute series) to dig into.
Although likable, it's still just...likeable. Which is why this only got 3 stars. But I look forward to the next story with high hopes.

The book was ok. I was expecting better bc of the great reviews and the previous series. The plot was good, the action moved, the story was ok. What annoyed me the entire book was Nukas attitude about her adopted family and her birth mother. It was a constant thorn in my side the entire time. I don't know if I will continue with this series.
May 18, 2016
Took me a little while to get into this one but still a great job with clifhangers The institute series is still better so far though. Kayla is definitely a great author and writes her books pretty fast. I'm excited to start the next book
August 24, 2016
You know that dread/hope you have when you start a new series. Fear not! You will not regret your (time) investment in this one. The only negative is that I couldn't put it down and now I have to wait for the 2nd book.
December 28, 2016
Loved the Institute series, and this definitely lived up to my expectations. I'm currently reading the next in the series, and looking forward to the third instalment due out next year.
For anyone who love YA paranormal / fantasy I would definitely recommend.

although this series can be read separately from The Institute, Defective and The Resistance, I love that we are still in the same world as these stories. I can't wait for the next installment

Loved it!
I certainly didn't expect the last few twists (I'm always captain obvious)! Loved how the book came together! On to book two now!

I loved this book!
If you haven't read Kayla Howarth The Institute Series you definitely should. The Litmus Series is a spinoff from the Institute. This book is from Nukas POV and at first she comes across as a bratty teenager but she grows alot throughout the book. She wants to find her biological mother and in the process she gets caught up in an underground fight club. I loved this book and can't wait to start reading Protecting William.
