Kyla is nervous to meet her new family. She has to leave the comfort of the hospital that she has spent 9 months in to emerge into society with a new name and family. Kyla has been slated, only this isn’t her first time it’s her last, she doesn’t remember the other times. In this society, the government has a different way of dealing with terrorist. They become slated, meaning that their memories are wiped clean and they are placed in a different town and family to start over again. They have to follow strict rules if they don’t follow they are slated again.Kyla is different than other teenagers that are slated; she has reoccurring nightmares that seems to be memories of her past. She is a very quick learner, and soon realizes that this society isn’t perfect and that the people around her seem to be hiding secrets. She has no other choice but to find out the truth and unlocking her past.Slated is an amazing book. It is one of my favorite books of 2012. From the beginning this book was griping, I had to take my time because I wanted not to miss anything. It was so amazing to see Kyla’s character evolved into this great heroine. Terry has crafted a great dystopian world. I feel that lately a lot of the dystopian novels have fall flat in some the characters and plots. Slated had a great ended, that not only made me want to read the next but also completed my appetite of the first installment. I cannot wait for the sequel to come out next year.
