My Review of Daynight:

              My Rating: 3/5 stars

When I first read the synopsis for this book, I knew I had to give it a read. I love dystopian novels and the title and cover also sold me. I also like books that are told from multiple POV's because I love getting into our main characters heads. I felt that really help me understand Kira, Blake, and Ethan that much better. The pacing in this book threw me a little, however. Thomason is very descriptive and detailed and I found that sometimes it was a bit much for me. So much information was being provided, that I felt distracted from the main plotline.

I liked reading about Kira, even though she did frustrate me at times. She is brought into the SCI after she witnesses a horrific tragedy on Earth, losing her boyfriend and best friend. She is partnered with Blake, another student from Earth, and the two form an alliance, and later a 'relationship'. I had trouble buying into Blake and Kira's feelings for each other, because I didn't see them as realistic. I definitely think the two were attracted to each other, but I was surprised at their confessions of love. I didn't buy it, personally. Ethan, on the other hand, Kira meets at a party briefly and he falls for her instantly. However, because of his status, he is not allowed to make advances on her.

Ethan drove me a little crazy too, though I clearly favored him over Blake. I understand that he wasn't allowed to pursue Kira, but to let her believe that he was madly in love with someone else and confuse her own feelings? I hated that for her. His feelings towards Kira felt a bit more genuine to me (even though I don't put much stock into the whole love at first sight thing). He really is sweet, charming, and cares about her. He is harboring secrets though, and I don't think that will end up well for them.

I did not care much for Blake's character. I didn't feel that he was genuine and he really was looking out for number one. He has a supposed change of heart later in the book, but I'm still not really buying it. I think what he does towards the end definitely confirms it for me.

Overall, this book did catch my attention, despite the issues I had with it, and I am curious to read the next installment, Arbitrate, because I'm looking forward to seeing the characters from Clean Slate Complex (see my review below) make an appearance.

clean slate complex

by Megan Thomason

Meet The Second Chance Institute (SCI): Worldwide non-profit and do-gooder organization. Their motto: Because Everyone Deserves a Second Chance at Life(TM). Reality: hidden behind every kind act is a dark agenda designed to gain control and force societal and moral extremes. Currently, the SCI’s pushing Project Liberate, a program to woo the poor and downtrodden into their Clean Slate Complexes—where “everything is provided” from jobs to food, shelter, clothing, and education. Unfortunately, as with all things that sound too good to be true, there’s a catch…

Meet Alexa Knight. Feisty, tough and currently homeless in Los Angeles, Alexa agrees to help the SCI in return for medical care for her sick mother. When she starts to suspect there’s more to the SCI than meets the eye will she believe Adam—the boy who saved her life and the SCI’s biggest champion, or Joshua—the attractive enigma who sings about conspiracy theories and pretends to be someone he’s not?

Full of action, humor, romance, twists and turns, clean slate complex is a companion story to the highly-praised dystopian novel, daynight. It can be enjoyed before or after readingdaynight.
