The Original Box Set #1-3

Rate this book
In the future, mankind has learned to manipulate their DNA, harnessing only good genes, like intelligence, strength and height. They called this prime DNA and humans rushed to get these new pDNA injections, which gave them superhuman-like qualities. Centuries later, however, their DNA became so engineered that humans rarely live past the age of thirty, thanks to a new deadly disease called the Kiss. The only cure is to receive an injection of oDNA, DNA from an Original human that hasn't been genetically altered. Problem is there aren't many Originals left.

When seventeen-year-old Sage wakes up in a hospital with no memories, her only clue are the words "Run Now" written on her hand. Trusting her instincts, Sage barely escapes but only to collide with an outside world that would kill to get their hands on her.

With the help of unlikely allies, including a boy with hidden bat wings, Sage makes the dangerous trek to Eden, the last place for people like her and the only place she'll be safe from those at the Institute who would use her blood until she died. But with deadly Primes hot on their trail, Sage must make the ultimate sacrifice to save the people she's grown to love. From USA Today bestselling author who brought you The Devil Series, Rachel McClellan, comes a new Dystopian series that fans can't stop talking about. Readers who love Hunger Games, Divergent and Maze Runner will thoroughly enjoy the non-stop action and original characters. Scroll up and grab this dystopian romance TODAY! Grab your copy!

Been really into dystopian style stories and stumbled across this one. Sage is such a kick-a$$ girl and I loved following her journey. Highly recommended." - Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "Hunger Games on steroids!" - Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "The dystopian aspect, plot, and twists makes it not only entertaining read but also has a great meaning behind it. Seriously get this book right now!" - Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "This story is one of the best dystopian novels I've read in a long time. There is so much that is original and eye-opening." - Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "The characters are memorable. The world Rachel has built is as amazing as it is disturbing.

Ok

I enjoyed all three books. The story was decent and the lead character was likable and flawed which made it easier to get behind her. Unfortunately, that’s about all I have to say. It was good but just good. I don’t feel the need to tell you to read it or tell you that it was worth turning every page. I finished it, I’m not disappointed with it but, in the grand scheme of all of the other books of it’s genre that I’ve read, it doesn’t stand out. If you like the dystopian genre it’s not a bad series to pick up but, it doesn’t have that special spark. This one just doesn’t leave me feeling like I could read it 10 times and never get tired of it.

Loved the story!!

I loved almost Everything about this series!! My only complaint was there was almost too much fighting and action, I ended up skimming through some of it. The heart of the story and characters I truly loved! And the world building with different monsters were incredible!

These books are the first I’ve read by this Author. I was drawn in immediately and it kept my interest. I literally read all 3 books in three days. The only thing I would have liked to see more was the main character spending more time with her love interest. Maybe the author will continue the story for us. Very well written dystopian novel!!

Standard Fare

Nothing magical here but highly enjoyable nonetheless. Popcorn sci fi, great bed time reading :) the characterizations were maybe a little weak in places, but the plot had lots of interesting twists and a very sweet love story carried the weaker parts.
