Description :
Five years ago, Wren Connolly was shot three times in the chest. After 178 minutes she came back as a Reboot: stronger, faster, able to heal, and less emotional. The longer Reboots are dead, the less human they are when they return. Wren 178 is the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas. Now seventeen years old, she serves as a soldier for HARC (Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation).
Wren’s favorite part of the job is training new Reboots, but her latest newbie is the worst she’s ever seen. As a 22, Callum Reyes is practically human. His reflexes are too slow, he’s always asking questions, and his ever-present smile is freaking her out. Yet there’s something about him she can’t ignore. When Callum refuses to follow an order, Wren is given one last chance to get him in line—or she’ll have to eliminate him. Wren has never disobeyed before and knows if she does, she’ll be eliminated, too. But she has also never felt as alive as she does around Callum.
The perfect soldier is done taking orders.

My Thoughts/Review :
What an enjoyable reads! I simply couldn't put it down within the first 200 pages, but what really pissed me off about this book is that it gets so boring the 150 pages after that. I really like the character development and the relationship between the characters, Wren and Callum. I freaking ship them, OTP. Though, I did not enjoyed the action that is being throwned into this book, I feel like it didn't pop throughout the whole book and it makes me feel slightly disappointed.
Wren, being our main character is so kick-ass and I really loved that about her and then we have Callum which is the love interest of our main character and he is so cute and sweet and all of the good stuffs in life. I really love the relationship between these two (as I said before) but it gets pretty unrealistic as the story goes and how they're relationship escalated pretty quick makes me bored reading it at some point. The relationship gets to sweet at times and I feel like it's kinda not fit into the world and story itself. I first thought that this book is all about action and stuffs but all I got is a dull storyline and romance that makes no sense at times.
I wouldn't wanna say this book is recommended for Divergent fans out there (since everyone's said that this book is similar) but nope. If you simply want a light-dystopian-romance-cute-apocalyptic-zombie reads kinda thing definitely pick this book up.

Amy has done pretty good job on her debut novel, the story is worth its time to read. I don't know if I will continue on and pick up the sequel. Oh decision, decision.
PS. To whoever made the cover, you deserve an oscar my friend.
