The tale is told from Davy’s perspective, and we get to experience everything first hand through her. Jordan gave us characters that both fit our perception of what someone with homicidal tendency syndrome would be/act like and those who didn’t creating a unique group of characters. Davy doesn’t feel different, but her life is about to change drastically. Overnight she is expelled from private school, her boyfriend ditches her and her friends and family fear her. All of that changes, when her mother calls and tells her to come home immediately. In fact, she has already been accepted into Juilliard. Davy Hamilton is a senior, who is exceptional both academically and musically. Testing has been ongoing regarding the gene HTS or Homicidal Tendency Syndrome. Uninvited is set in the United States and begins in the year 2021. Mini-review: Thought-provoking, eerily plausible and exciting beginning to this duology. I knew she could write breathtakingly beautiful contemporary romances but could she wow this lover of dystopians? The answer, my friends, is yes! She gave me an intense, bone-chillingly realistic future world with interesting characters. When I realized they were the same author I was both nervous and excited. Then in October I reviewed a wonderful NA contemporary romance called Foreplay by new to me author Sophie Jordan who also writes historical romances for Avon, HarperCollins. I actually received the ARC of Uninvited by Sophie Jordan last year and set it aside for review closer to the release date.

Davy wants to trust him maybe he's not as dangerous as he seems. Only Sean, a fellow HTS carrier, can relate to her new life. Davy doesn't feel any different, but genes don't lie. Her boyfriend ditches her, her parents are scared of her, and she can forget about her bright future at Juilliard. When Davy Hamilton's tests come back positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome (HTS)-aka the kill gene-she loses everything.
