The Connecticut Fault: A Dystopian Novel

by Tracy Lee Sargis

Just because violence is gone, it doesn’t mean fear was taken with it. Two worlds, each just days away from celebrating fifteen years of existing violence-free. What was once considered an impossibility has become a way of life, but at what cost? Stanton has a unique talent. He speaks with the dead. The Interpreter is what they call him in his world. When an unidentified corpse is pulled from the water, it changes everything Stanton knows about his existence and triggers a chain of events that forces him to work against time and reason to save his sister’s life. Liv has a unique talent. She is a truth-seeker, by any means necessary. A detective is what she’s called in her world. When her daughter suddenly goes missing, she must betray her code and carve a path through the unknown to find her missing daughter. Will Stanton and Liv be able to break through their oppressive realities to save their own lives and the lives of others? Or will their repressive rulers imprison them for the last time? Can they find a way to reach each other’s world before getting lost in their own?

I won this book in a goodreads drawing.

Two people in dystopias have to get to the same world, a dystopia that doesn't seem as bad...I think.

This was a GoodReads giveaway win of a Kindle ebook.

I very much liked the writing style. The prose just set the right tone. It was a long read. Lots of mystery regarding the direction the story was going. I disliked that the ending is a big of a cliff hanger and begs for the sequel. I also prefer storylines that are a bit more straight forward with clearer heroes and villains. But life is never that clearly defined in real life, so why expect that in everything I pleasure read. I can see that Sargis is an author worth keeping an eye on.

Have a GoodReads.
