McEntire can write, there is drama and characters that are believable as teens, but what led them to where they are today? Who is behind corralling the mutants? A quick read that has the potential to be a great addition to a series, not a standalone. What exactly is Eden? Who are the mutants and why are they persecuted and condemned? Where did the mutations start? Written for young adults, the details can be gleaned in part if one reads only this book, but I feel this dystopian world could be so much richer and more alive if readers do pick up book one, first. The second in a series, while I was told it can be read as a standalone, there was a rapid jump into what felt like the middle of something and I really wanted more background. Can they learn to trust each other as a spark of attraction grows or will duty and survival win out in the end? Lilah is a mutant, Adam is a newly minted Warden, whose duty it is to destroy the only place where Lilah may be safe. McEntire is a tale of acceptance, overcoming fear and trust as two teens bury who and what they are when they find themselves in search of Eden, a sanctuary for mutants. Two teens, one a mutant on the run, searching for a safe haven, the other, tasked with hunting down those who are “different.” FINDING EDEN by K.R.S.
