Citizens who report to work on time, obey the Overlord’s laws, and stay
off the Synbot’s radar, live long lives. Long, dull, monotonous lives.
It’s not a bad plan for someone with a hidden, emotion-based ability to trigger earthquakes. In a world pitted against her, sixteen-year-old Rena Moon strives for a life beyond working herself to death at the factory. Seeing an alternative, she risks selling relics from the forbidden lands at Market. It becomes the worst decision she ever made. Someone kidnaps her best friend in exchange for the one thing that would end her oppression.
Driven by loyalty, Rena and seventeen-year-old Nevan Jelani, soulful composer, green thumb extraordinaire, and the secret love of her life, plot to rescue her friend and reclaim her salvage. Still, the thought lingers whether Nevan is a true hero or another thief waiting for his chance at her loot. Events spin wildly, deepening Rena’s suspicions and pushing her limit of control. With more than her chance for freedom at stake, she must decide if she’s willing to kill to protect what’s precious to her. For once, the Overlord isn’t holding all the power, but can Rena live with being reduced to what she’s trying so hard to escape?

Review
****This book was part of a blog tour
I received an ARC for my honest review****
Rena and her best friend Blaze find secret these artifacts,
she thinks it will be her chance to get to Eden but Blaze gets taken by the people who
want the artifacts more than Rena. With the help of Nevan her crush and new
friend, they set out to find Blaze. Rena, however, has a secret she can feel
the vibrations in the earth and can cause earthquakes with her emotions. This
was one of those books that I read the synopsis and thought it looked kind of
interesting and different, I was way off, this book went beyond kind of
interesting into addictive territory. I loved how the author came up with new
words this gave the book a certain quirky uniqueness. Rena poor girl was
dealing with a lot and I felt bad for her. The way the author described her
crush and feelings for Nevan were age appropriate, she also had problems with
learning how to deal with her ability. Nevan was a nice guy and a good balance
to Rena. What really made this book was the writing, the author did an amazing
job of describing something little that you wouldn't think would matter, but
when added all together it creates this great scene. My only problem was I
needed more of a back story, there were a few missing elements that left me
with a few questions when I was done. Edge of Truth is a great read that will
suck you in, have you rooting for the characters and adding a new author to
your favorites list.
