Deviants
Deviants | Maureen McGowan
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
The end of the world has come and gone. The earth is buried in asteroid dust that mutates human DNA, and sixteen-year-old orphan Glory and her brother are among those affected. Glory's got a secret: once she loses control of her emotions, the intensity of her gaze can kill. If her Deviant ability is discovered, she'll be expunged—kicked out of the dome to be tortured and killed by the sadistic, scab-covered Shredders who are addicted to the lethal dust covering the planet. But no matter how much Glory wants to be rid of her unique ability to kill with her emotions, no matter how much she wishes she could be with Cal, a newly turned spy for the authorities, Glory will protect her younger brother at all costs. After Glory's brother is discovered, she's determined to get him to safety, but escaping the domed city that's been her entire world is no easy task…even for a Deviant.

Mehso-so

Basic dystopian, and too similar to Divergent, Deviants struggles to stand out in the crowd. Unbalanced, implausible, riddled with pacing issues and filler action. The writing was mediocre. Overall average, my rating is 2.5.
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway years ago but recently found it buried in my bookshelf.
