Bio-chemistry whiz Everly Jax wants one thing: to know who her parents are. Raised with other repo kids in InKubator 9, she has pinned her hopes on Reunion Day, the annual event where sixteen-year-olds can meet or reunite with their parents. When her Reunion Day goes horribly awry, she and her pregnant friend Halla escape the Kube, accompanied by their friend Wyck who has his own reasons for … leaving.
In a world where rebuilding the population is critical to national survival, the Pragmatist government licenses all human reproduction, and decides who can–and must–have babies. The trio face feral dog packs, swamp threats, locust swarms, bounty hunters looking for “breeders,” and more dangers as they race to Amerada’s capital to find Halla’s soldier boyfriend before the Prags can repo her baby and force the girls into surrogacy service.
An unexpected encounter with Bulrush, an Underground Railroad for women fleeing to Outposts with their unlicensed babies, puts them in greater peril than ever. Everly must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to learn her biological identity–and deal with the unanticipated consequences of her decisions.

Loved it! Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
I’m not gonna lie during the first chapter I did not think I would enjoy this book. I thought Evie Cameron spoke to fast to be honest so I didn’t really pay much attention to the first chapter. BUT after chapter one and you really get to know the main character Everly it fits PERFECTLY. I do not know why at first I was turned off but it but I fell in love with the way Evie Cameron told this story.
This is set in a world where everything was wiped out by the bird flu and the world now called Amerada where Atlanta is the capitol. Our main character is on a quest to find her parents after a reunion day she looked forward to did not turn out as planned. She escapes InKubator 9 with her 2 best friends. One of which is pregnant from her boyfriend who is stationed in Atlanta. They journey across swamp and quicksand, escape crazy people wanting to sell breeders, and locust swarms. Then they meet a group of people that changes everything for them and what Everyly believes. Its so hard to truely review this book without giving everything away. You will be in for a wild ride! I can’t recommend this enough. The ending was such a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to read the next one to see what happens to the characters.
Also something I really enjoyed. All the biblical additions to the book and how alot of the organizations got there name which is expressed in this. Now if your not spiritual or anything like that don’t let this turn you off from the book. It is a fantastic addition to how the storyline goes but doesn’t make this a bible pushing story.
I loved this book so much I bought the second and third in the trilogy. They were all good. I loved that this is a trilogy and not a series of 5, 8 or an indefinite number of books. After so many books I get tired of reading the same story over and over and then sometimes the next book in the series isn’t even out yet! Laura DiSilverio proves there can be a beginning, a middle and an end in a trilogy without having to go on and on and on. Plus I liked the characters – all of them. I liked the story. I was surprised by some of the happenings. And it truly was a page-turner!
Loved, loved, loved it.
Oh this is a must read! add to your tbr list and read it. I enjoyed the writers style and how the characters came to life in this book! Loved it! Will reread again over and over again! Yep Yep!
Enjoyable read (if you like post-apocalyptic stories). I liked it enough to pay full price for the rest of the trilogy.
Absolutely loved this book. It’s a great series
Great view on a future society. Characters were interesting and complex. Highly recommend!
Great read
I love this series. Reminds me of hunger games.
Good writing. Kept me engaged and interested. I wanted to read more of the series
It kind of makes you wonder…is this what the future could be like? At least, it did for me. I love the book, very interesting. Borderline realistic, in my opinion, one never knows what the future holds. It’s kind of a science-fiction novel, in a way. I don’t usually get into this type of book, but I am so glad that I took a chance and read this one. It made my imagination go wild and that doesn’t happen very often, especially from a book. I ABSOLUTELY recommend this book. I will definitely be reading the next one in the series. I hope it’s just as good, I’m not sure if it could get better than this one.
Incubation was a fun, easy to read book. If you can call post apocalyptic books fun. I was interested enough to go on to read book #2.
My first read/listen from author Laura Disilverio. I don’t restrict myself to a particular genre. I’m a sucker for anything with memorable characters and a story that keeps me guessing. I’m a big fan of dystopian and post-apocalyptic novels. There’s something I really enjoy about a story with characters trying to survive in a world that’s moved on. Narrator Evie Cameron’s talented narration adds greatly to the book’s enjoyment. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Well-written with well-developed characters. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
Yeah, I’m definitely in the minority when it comes to this novel. This was such a disappointing read! The writing lacked a certain richness, I never came to really know or care about any of the characters, and the world building was just average.
As well, this had a much stronger YA feel than many YA dystopian fiction books I’ve encountered in the past few years. It felt more…what’s the word? Wholesome? It pulled too many punches when it was time to get raw and real.
Additionally, there was an aggressive amount of Christianity peppered in, in the way of prayer, Bible scripture quotations, and identification of Bibles (the books) everywhere. It was distracting, and added nothing valuable to the story. If this future society had somehow been denied religious freedom, I could see a resurgence of an organized religion being a part of the whole “underground rebellion” theme, but there was no indication of it being anything other than the author’s decision to push Christianity on her readers.
As for Evie Cameron, the narrator in the audio version, it felt odd to have an adult reading a 16 year old’s voice, but I almost got used to it after a while. Almost. She made some weird pronunciations — tunnick for tunic, low-kai for loci — but overall she was adequate, though much better suited for a novel from a middle-aged adult woman’s POV.
The story line was very interesting and could have gone many ways but I had a very hard time getting into it and just couldn’t finish it.
I wrote a review on Amazon. Book kept my interest. Would read the rest of the books.
This series kept me enthralled. I enjoyed each book very much.
Definitely want more…
I had problems getting into it
Very well written book
