Fractured by Teri Terry

Fractured (Slated, #2)

by Teri Terry

Perfect for fans of the dystopian settings of The Hunger Games and Divergent, the gripping second installment of the Slated trilogy is a riveting psychological thriller set in a future where violent teens have their memory erased as an alternative to jail.

When Kyla was slated, her memory was erased for good.
Except it wasn’t.
Not completely.
She remembers years of working with Antigovernment Terrorists.
She remembers acts of violence against the Lorders.
But perhaps most important—she remembers Ben.
If he’s alive, Kyla’s about to play a dangerous game between the Lorders and the AGT.
Then again, every move in her new life is a gamble.

I've read Slated, the first book, two years ago and it was one of my favourite books that year. My expectations for Fractured was extremely high. Fractured, not only managed to surprise me, but it exceeded my expectations.

Fractured starts off right where Slated ended. There was never a dull moment and the book started and ended with a BANG!

Kyla is one of my favourite book characters. She's extremely smart, asks a bunch of important questions and she catches on to things quickly. She's an easy character to connect with and I was totally wanting to get inside head and encourage her to do what she feels is right.

I was impressed at Terry for handling Kyla's multiple personalities as Kyla, Rain and Lucy in such a realistic manner. Each character, their voices and personalities are made so unique and we as the reader see how Kyla handles the multiple voices that are in her head.

New characters are introduced in Fractured and they surprisingly gain depth and complexity in a small space of time. I have to mention Nico, who plays a large role in this book, but I don't want to give any spoilers away. So without much detail, I felt as though his relationship with Kyla was wrong and creepy.

The whole story is packed with mystery and suspense. As a reader I was never sure whose side the characters were on. Are they fighting for the Lorders, the AGT/ Free UK or are they on Team Kyla. I loved that this book was able to continuously keep me on the edge of my seat.

What creates and provides the background for everything that happens in the story, is it's cool Sci-fi and Dystopian aspects. The Levo's, the happy pills, the slating process and the powerful government all add to the enjoyment of this book along with the lack of trust for any new character that is introduced along the way.

Fractured was a freaking AMAZING book! It's one of the best books that I've read in a long time and I've been recommending this series to EVERYBODY! Teri Terry has earned a solid place on my auto-buy list.
