The Killables by Gemma Malley
Mar. 29th, 2012 10:35 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Evil has been eradicated. The City has been established. And citizens may only enter after having the ‘evil’ part of their brain removed. They are labelled on the System according to how ‘good’ they are. If they show signs of the evil emerging, they are labelled a K … But no one knows quite what that means. Only that they disappear, never to be seen again …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Gemma Malley’s YA dystopia, the first in a trilogy, is a disappointing tale that does little new with the genre and revolves around two unlikeable characters. I found Evie to be far too passive and her love interest Raffy was a petulant, possessive toddler prone to tantrums. The love triangle with Raffy’s brother Lucas was icky given that he’s 12 years older than Evie. Although I’ve enjoyed other books by Gemma Malley, this book left me very disappointed and I won’t be reading on.
THE KILLABLES was released in the UK on 29th March 2012. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the ARC of this book.
