BLURB:
Michelle was born into the Institute’s eugenics program,
where doctors breed people like livestock. One powerful man decides which
children grow up, and which disappear. Culls are dumped in the slum outside
Institute walls, and those kids never come back. Michelle has survived every
purge, and she’s about to win a luxurious life as a breeder. When her brother
and her boyfriend are both mysteriously culled, despite their high scores, she
goes over the wall to find them. Alone in the ghetto, she’s in trouble until
handsome, streetwise Dillon stakes a claim to her. She’s mortified because the
Enhanced see Norms as little more than animals. But the doctor is using the
missing boys in a twisted experiment, and she needs Dillon’s help to stop him.
Michelle must rescue the boys, but a plague is spreading, the doctor is after
her, and Dillon isn’t thrilled to help her find her lost boyfriend.
BIO:
Courtney Farrell was once a molecular biologist, but her
habit of daydreaming destroyed far too many experiments. As it turned out,
writing down the movies behind her eyes was a lot more fun than lab work.
Courtney is the author of fourteen nonfiction books for young people, mostly on
social and environmental topics. She lives with her family on a Colorado ranch
where they support a barn full of freeloading animals, including a fat draft
horse and a bunch of crazy chickens. Enhanced
is her first novel.

My Review:
Once we cloned a sheep I was afraid of something like this happening. People in general just want to live and be rich and happy. What if people in power wanted to tell the other citizens how rich they would be. They cab pick the rich from the poor, and they could genetically make sure you stay that way. I loved the special "powers". I was quickly involved in this book, so much that I took it with me everywhere I went. I liked the ending as well. The characters were perfect for their age range and as the story progressed the characters did as well. The author wrote the book in such a way that I had images in my head. The imagery was better then most books I have read recently. This is my favorite quote:
"Brian’s face hovered above her, but she drifted off to sleep
again, dreaming of Norm souls rising into the night sky on a
multitude of tiny floating embers."
I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.

Thanks so much for featuring Enhanced! I am so glad you liked it. The sequel, called Sacrificed, is in the editing process at Crescent Moon Press. I have at least one more book planned in the Enhanced series.
