#ya read

★★★★1/2✩

I'm kicking myself for how long this was on my TBR and I just got to reading it!

I was able to read this fairly uninterrupted at work and I was hooked within the first chapter and just enjoyed the brisk pacing, characters and world building that pulled me and was a great read as I turned page after page.

The dynamic between Lila and Kell had a rocky start but by the end, idk, they felt natural and I'm liking their current dynamic especially with the back n forth of saving each other they way do.

I just placed a hold for the next book at the library! 😁

Seriously having a love/ hate moment right now for just getting around to reading this.

More pre-move pictures! 

Jayla is the daughter of morphoid-addicted Addis, and like so many others, she’s been pulled away from her family and placed in a group home called NORCC—the New Orleans Rehabilitation Center for Children. Her parents and those like them are imprisoned in domes across the country… but maybe not for long. Jayla’s sister, Jo, arrives at the orphanage with news of a sinister plan. The Authority plans to gas the domes and kill those within.

Jayla and her crew of orphan girls—including love interests both old and new—are the only ones who can stop the Authority and save their people. But first, they must escape the NORCC. During their journey, several secrets come to light, including Jayla’s supernatural powers and the depths of the Authority’s depravity. But before she can face her enemies, she’ll have to confront the adversaries within herself.
