Heartbreaking to say the least, but hopefully a sequel will play that out. There is a bit of a love story thrown in and it's really sweet, but when Callie's life is found out, everything she knew is ripped away from her. The cover of the book plays an important part in the story, so pay attention to it. I like that about a book when I can get carried away and envision myself right there beside the character. The world building was very well done, and Lissa really took her time creating nuances that you could see and feel. I was on edge with this book because it was so good. Somehow, Callie's renter can communicate to her and wants her to kill the Senator who may be behind the cause of the renter's missing granddaughter. But then things get complicated when Callie wakes up, her neurochip malfunctioning and she realizes that she remembers part of her Renter's world.Ī mystery enfolds and Callie gets deeper and deeper in the world of the older ones who rent out the bodies. During this part of the book it was very Total Recall, which could have been an inspiration as well as being in line for flu shot at Costco (Lissa Price's story).īecause Callie is gorgeous, she will be highly sought out and she will earn the money that will save her broken family. A company that allows the Enders (anyone over the age of 60) to borrow a starters body to do what they can no longer do.
The only thing that will save Callie and her brother and even Michael, is if she signs on with Prime Destinations. Because they are unmarked, and they are Starters (Spore Wars killed off anyone between the ages of 20-60), they are either used for nefarious means or killed because they are a waste of space. Who may or may not have feelings for Callie. Callie is on the run with her sickly 7 year old brother and another squatter, Michael.
