 When I first participated in the cover reveal of Chosen Ones and read the blurb for this upcoming YA Dystopian, I had a deep sense that I was going to like it--it was just a gut feeling, I guess you could say, and it held high expectations from that point on while I eagerly awaited to read. 
 It did not disappoint. Not only did it meet my high expectations that I had established from the blurb and excitement for wanting to read this story, but it went above and beyond them. I'm completely speechless as to how I'm going to go into this review to be honest without sounding like a giddy fan girl...Okay, so maybe I already do, it's cool though, I should get that right after having read something so fantastic. 
 I haven't exactly been secretive about my disappointments with a lot of my reads so far this year. At best, most have just been average--not quite memorable--with only one or two exceptions. Thanks so much to Tiffany Truitt and Chosen Ones for finally turning that around and giving me one that I can say I will remember for sure come the end of the year and it was such an amazing read that had me turning the pages so fast, my ereader didn't have the need to recharge before I finished the book. This is what I deem "un-put-down-able." 
 When is the sequel coming? Agh, I'm already craving it! 
 It's not short on the details at all--allowing easy visuals, sometimes a bit gruesome--and an intriguing backstory to the world building. How the chosen ones came to be were an interesting piece of information to story and I really liked the author's take on the ideas. What also particularly struck me was that while it does play around with the whole "forbidden romance" theme, it's not cheesy in the slightest and executed in a nicely done manner. I like the romance that builds between them. I adore it. I found myself smiling like a goofball in a few places. The character growth in Tess is developed with grace and dignity--after starting out so cold-hearted and shy. By the end, I was near in tears at her devotion and courage. 
 Chosen Ones packs a powerhouse of emotions and eerie intrigue. It stole my heart. 
 Seriously, when is the sequel?!
