Escape From Reality: February 2013

Donate Body to Science. Check.

When seventeen-year-old Kaitlyn checked the box, she never suspected she’d have her life–and her body–stolen from her. She awakens one day in a secret laboratory to discover that her body is now half-robot and is forced to hide her own secret: that she still has human emotions and a human mind. If the scientists who made her find out, they’ll erase what remains of who she was.

Kaitlyn finds an unlikely ally in Lucas, a handsome, brilliant scientist who can’t get over the guilt he feels knowing she was once a vibrant, beautiful young woman. He never expected a science project to affect him the way she does. As he tries to help her rediscover her past, he finds himself falling for the brave girl struggling to find her place and acceptance between the human and computer worlds.

My Review!

Freak of Nature is freaking Amazing!

I love Julia Crane's writing style, But this was this is not what I was expecting! It was so much more. I have never read a book like "freak of nature" and I do not believe I ever will again. Her imagination is beyond belief. I really liked the ideas behind this book . It brought science and love into one setting. I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The only problem with the story was I did not want it to be over!

A few questions for the Author!

What books have most influenced your life most?

That’s always a hard question. I’ve been an avid reader for as long as I can recall. As a teenager my walls were bookcases filled with books. My friends couldn’t believe I’d actually read them all. I really loved Nancy Drew as a child. She started my love for series. As far as influenced my life... I love Ayn Rand she makes me think about myself and society.

If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in any of your books?

Someday I would like to go back and rewrite Keegan’s Chronicles. My writing has grown since then, but I also think it’s important to move forward so we’ll see.
