HTML: A fast-paced thrilling adventure, full of danger, romance, and deceptionâ??perfect for fans of Veronica Roth's Divergent series or Marie Lu's Legend. Too pretty. In a crumbling, futuristic Las Vegas where the wealthy choose the characteristics of their children like ordering off a drive-thru menu, seventeen-year-old Sienna Preston doesn't fit in. As a normal girl surrounded by genetically modified teenagers, all of her imperfections are on display. But after the death of her father, everything she's ever known and loved changes in an instant. With little skills to help provide for her family, Sienna clings to the two things that come easilyâ??lying and stealing. But not all thief-for-hire assignments go as planned. When a covert exchange of a stolen computer chip is intercepted, she becomes entangled with a corrupt government official who uses her thieving past as leverage, her mother as collateral, and the genetically modified poster boy she's falling for as bait. In order to rescue her mother, there may only be one optionâ??joining forces with the Fringe, an extremist group, and their young leader who's too hot to be bad. Problem is, these revolutionaries aren't what they seem, and the secrets they're hiding could be more dangerous than Sienna is prepared for. In the end, she must be willing to risk everything to save the one thing that matters most. Praises for Catalyst: "A gripping thriller with a tough, but vulnerable heroine who must fight against a corrupt underworld while searching for her father's killer. High stakes and non-stop action paired with terrific writing will have you turning the pages late into the night." "Catalyst is a stunning and unique addition to the dystopian genre. Fans of The Maze Runner and Divergent series will devour this series opener." "An amazing young adult thriller! Full of intrigue, high stakes, and danger, this read will keep your heart racing and your mind turning deep into the night." "An action-packed sci-fi thriller filled with romance, danger, and twists you won't see coming, CATALYST provides a glimpse into an eery future depicting what can go wrong when those in power attempt to make things right."

The story is set in a future world where parents chose the characteristics of their children. But that is not so for Sienna, she is just a normal girl, (She) doesn't seem to fit in with others. Things change drastically after the Death of her Father.
She decides she is going to join The Fringe, an extremist group. But she finds they are not what they appear to be, and have secrets they are hiding. Soon she is being used for their own agenda, and is forced to make decisions, take on risks, and to do what she feels is right.
Although this is not my usual genre, I was pulled in from the first page until the end. I really Like young Sienna, unique and a bit of a rebel. The story moves at a fast pace, with action, danger, thrilling moments and a dash of romance. The plot is original and captivating. Overall I found Catalyst enjoyable and feel that Y/A and Adult readers will enjoy it as well. ( )
