What’s Left of Me by Kat Zhang

What’s Left of Me (The Hybrid Chronicles, #1)

by Kat Zhang

HOW I LIVE NOW meets HIS DARK MATERIALS in this stunningly written and intensely moving debut, the first book in the Hybrid trilogy.

Imagine that you have two minds, sharing one body. You and your other self are closer than twins, better than friends. You have known each other forever.

Then imagine that people like you are hated and feared. That the government want to hunt you down and tear out your second soul, separating you from the person you love most in the world.

Now meet Eva and Addie.

They don’t have to imagine.

I have a lot of respect for writers who can create a book vastly different than the thousands already out there.
When I first came across this book I suspected that it might have been a schizophrenic first person story or maybe some alien version of life. The premise of it though intrigued me enough to find out for sure, and boy was I impressed. The book was well paced, innovative and well written. The ending was sufficient enough to end the series if you decided not to pursue the next book but also leaves some missing details to reveal later if you wish to continue the story even further. I will be picking up book 2 very soon!
Good read for middle grades and higher.
