I was truly amazed and honoured that Shannon asked to me to read “Take Me Tomorrow” and other novels and review them. She has been so kind and she personally provided me with a copy of the book. I was and I am currently very grateful to her and I wish that this can really help her to be more known, because she has a great fantasy and ability in writing.

TAKE ME TOMORROW

“Take Me Tomorrow” is a young adult dystopian novel written by Shannon A. Thompson. The novel was released in July 2014  by AEC Stellar Publishing.

SYNOPSIS: 

Two years after the massacre, the State enforces stricter rules and harsher punishments on anyone rumored to support tomo – the clairvoyant drug that caused a regional uprising.

But sixteen-year-old Sophia Gray has other problems. Between her father’s illegal forgery and her friend’s troubling history, the last thing Sophia needs is an unexpected encounter with a boy. He’s wild, determined, and one step ahead of her.

But when his involvement with tomo threatens her friends and family, Sophia has to make a decision: fight for a future she cannot see or sacrifice her loved ones to the world of tomorrow.

REVIEW:

A thrilling and entangling plot, full of suspance and action. “Take me Tomorrow” follows the story of Sophia Gray,a teenager that lives in the Topeka Region, the most important part of the State, where is going on a war against the tomo, a clairvoyant drug that caused a previous massacre.

All her believes will change when she meet Noah, a tomo addicted and a full of sarcasm guy, that she encounters in the forest behind her house. The all plot wheel around the secrets that have characterized her life and a dangerous task to accomplish in order to change the situation.

When I first read the meeting of Sophia and Noah, I actually thought of an expected romance story, but I was fortunately disclaimed. The novel, thanks to the plot is very involving, most of all for all the night chases and the unexpected new plans. Most of all, I appreciate the team of teens and the descriptions of the locations.

Lights blinked throughout the city, coating the streets with golden auras, and trees danced on the roadsides.

Broden,Miles,Noah, Sophia, Lily and Rinley are a very good and variuos team, that is, in my opinion, the aspect that characterize them. The addition of Sophia to the team emphasize the bond that can grow between teens that have been robbed of their childhood to deal with the reality of the State.

“We had grown into on another somewhere along the way. We were officially a team.”

I think that the lack of the background and the story of how the State was born aren’t negatives aspects at all. Actually I think that a long description of this aspects, would have  removed the athmosphere of thrill and suspanse that characterize the novel.

“We hadn’t won the war, but we had won the battle.”

I do wish to read as soon as possible the rest of the story, becauase the end left me with a sense of bitter in my mouth.

Last of all I wanted to say something about the cover, AMAZING! I think it well describe it!
