Young Adult Sci Fi/Dystopian
Date Published: October 17, 2014
Book One: Unstrung Series
Lexa Pate, seventeen-year-old thief extraordinaire, has burned a bridge or two in her life. You don't make a career out of stealing other people's property without making enemies.
When a risky job goes from bad to worse, Lexa and her adopted family find themselves on Precipice Corporation's hit list because they've accidentally stolen the wrong thing--plans for a new model of genetically-engineered super humans. Now every bounty hunter, cop on the take, and snitch in the city is after them.
Lexa's world crumbles around her as she fights to keep her family safe even as someone strolls out of her forgotten past. Quinn claims to know who Lexa really is, but can she trust a stranger she met while robbing his boss?
More importantly, does she really want to know what Quinn has to tell her?
Based on the fairy tale Pinocchio, UNSTRUNG takes you into a near future world where the lines between fake and real are blurred, all that's pristine isn't always innocent, and being a criminal isn't always wrong.

I've come to realize that it doesnt matter what Kendra Highely writes, I know I'm going to love it. She is an amazing storyteller. I love the way she submerges the reader in her novels.
When starting this novel, be prepared to not be able to put it down. The way the story flows will have you flipping pages furiously to see whats going to happen next. I loved the pacing, it was very even throughout.
The characters maybe needed just a bit more, but other than that, I thought this was a fantastic introduction to a new Young Adult Sci-Fi/Dystopian world and I can not wait to see where it goes next.

Kendra C. Highley lives in north Texas with her husband and two children. She also serves as staff to four self-important cats. This, according to the cats, is her most crucial job. She believes chocolate is a basic human right, running a 10k is harder than it sounds, and that everyone should learn to drive a stick shift. She loves monsters, vacations, baking and listening to bad electronica. If she's not writing, she's reading. If she's not writing or reading, she's likely a little cranky.
