Okay, wow. When I first saw this book in stores and on Goodreads, I have to say that I was quite sceptical about whether it would actually be worth reading. I read the first chapter as a sampler and decided, "hey, it can't be that bad," but it took me until yesterday to actually get the book. 
 The main plot of this book is to cure RM, a virus which is killing all human kids. This purpose drives Kira to new heights of anger, trust issues, and danger. She is lied to, persuaded, argued with and is the most famous criminal at one point. But besides that, and her tendency to spaz, I found her a good character to connect with. I understood her inability to conform to her societies wishes, and the fear that she would have to become a breeding cattle by the Hope Act. And even though I originally thought that she would have three love interests, that's not really the point of the story... though when it is brought up I want to smack Marcus around a couple times. 
 The supporting characters are great. Her friends/family are always there for Kira when she needs them, especially to commit a felony. They ranged from intense, passionate, and plain stupid, to loyal, enigmatic, and hilarious. The side characters you meet all have a purpose, and there own reasons for what they do, and it's interesting how everything fits together. 
 I don't like the whole government take over, as it speaks too close to my irrational fears. THIS COULD SO HAPPEN! The Voice, and ParaGen are mentioned at odd parts, but gain a bigger role as the book progresses. I like learning more about both because of the secrets and the retaliations that might happen because the Senate is stupid. 
 I can't wait to find out more about Samm, and Kira and how everything works out. There better be another book!
