Get ready to be taken on the ride of
your life in the latest instalment from New Zealand author Rachael Craw.
Shield is the final book in the popular Spark trilogy. The first part of this gripping
young adult sci-fi series, Spark, was
released in 2014 to rave reviews, followed by Stray in 2015.
In the latest book, the drama continues but this time Evie is out of
options. She must comply with the Affinity Project in order to survive. Evie
must obey their rules, play their deadly games and give up Jamie.
When Evie
decides to help a small group of Shields trying to affect change, she finds
herself in all sorts of trouble. Counsellor Knox is determined to reveal her
secrets and tie her to the Affinity Project for life. To protect her family,
Evie must betray those closest to her. The odds of success, and of Evie’s
survival, are slim.
Shield is a fast paced, action-packed thriller that will grab
reader’s attention from the very first page. It is an original, exciting story
with underlying themes of friendship,
loyalty, courage and love.
Shield is perfect for teenagers with a passion for sc-fi and for anyone
who enjoyed The Hunger Games Trilogy by
Suzanne Collins and the Maze
Runner Trilogy by James Dashner.
Rachael Craw is a prolific talent as evidenced
by her latest book. She has the ability to produce brilliant work that is
well-written and contains just the right amount of action and excitement to
enthral readers.
A great read and highly recommended.
