Night Of The Party by Tracey Mathias
Aug. 6th, 2018 10:47 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
How do you speak out if you have no rights?
After withdrawing from the EU, Britain is governed by The Party, and everyone born outside the country is subject to immediate arrest and deportation. Failing to report illegals is a crime.
Zara is the only one who knows how her friend Sophie died. But Zara’s an illegal.
She can’t tell anyone her secrets. Not even Ash, the boy she loves. The boy who needs to know the truth.
As the country prepared for an election, Zara must take an impossible choice.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Tracey Mathias’s stand-alone YA romantic thriller is set in a frighteningly plausible dystopian post-Brexit Britain where the country is an insular, quasi-racist state with rolling blackouts and traffic restrictions. I enjoyed the developing relationship between Ash and Zara (especially how Mathias highlights their different experiences) but the mystery element lacks tension and the ending may leave some readers disappointed.
NIGHT OF THE PARTY was released in the United Kingdom on 3rd May 2018. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
