Wow, I found this book very intriguing. I was gifted this book with the understanding that I would leave an honest review. I was also told that the book is a Young Adult novel. Well, the story’s main character is a young adult but this book is so much more. I thought the idea of the story was so unique and fascinating to explore. The mystery was well done as well. You become involved with all the characters as well. Well done Michaela James, well done. Agnes McCreath is the narrator for this audiobook and she too does an amazing job. 5 stars all the way around.
This review is for the audio book.
I enjoyed this book. I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book, I get upset watching Disney film’s so when I read the blurb and found out it was talking to lost one’s I was a little sceptical if it was for me or not but I really like the author so I gave it ago. Glad I did because I enjoyed it (and without shedding a single tear). The subject was an unusual one but it was well done and it had me hooked to find out what was going on. The story is told by two characters as they both try to uncover what is going on at No Divide’s and then as they work together to take down the company. The story is in the 13 and up category but I think that it is good enough and interesting enough for any age to listen to and enjoy. The characters were young and inexperienced but I think they were perfect for the job of investigating the company. I look forward to listening to more books by this talented author.
Mateo is pleased to land his first job but soon suspects that things aren’t as wonderful as things seem.

I liked the narrator and loved the accent she used for one of the characters.
