About this ebook

From New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan, Uninvited is a chilling and suspenseful story about a girl whose DNA brands her a killer, perfect for fans of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and Shatter Me.

Davy had everything—a terrific boyfriend, the homecoming crown, a bright future at Juilliard—but when her genetic tests come back positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome, she loses it all. Uninvited from her prestigious school, avoided by her friends and family, she is placed in a special class with other "carriers" who are treated like the murderers they someday might become.

Only Sean, a fellow HTS carrier, can relate to her new life and tells her that she alone controls her actions—not the code embedded into her DNA. But even if she can learn to trust him, can Davy trust herself?

Don’t miss the continuation of Davy’s journey in Unleashed, the romantic, high-stakes conclusion!

 

Ratings and reviews

In a world where genetics could tell if you will be a killer one day. Great story line. Only 4 stars because i didn't feel as attached to the characters.

I'm in Love with this book, it's become one of my All-Time favorites. It's so genuine & raw & it hits so close to home. I felt like I was actually glimpsing into the near future of our reality. Sophie tied the book up perfectly with this poignant letter to her readers. In which she says that Davy is her, you, me, any of us. And I truly felt that throughout the story. My one note is, if you loved it like I did don't read the sequel. I'm a Jordan fan but sometimes lightning in a bottle is impossible to repeat

At first the main character was unbearable if I'm being honest but as the story progressed so did she. I really came to like Davy and the other characters. The premise of the story is really interesting and I can't wait to read the next book!
