CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Identity Break by Stifyn Emrys

Stifyn Emrys is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Identity Break

identity-breakSummary:

How far would you go to find yourself?

Imagine everything you thought you knew about yourself turned out to be a lie, and you didn’t know who was telling the truth. Imagine you possessed a secret so dangerous that, if it were exposed, it would reshape the entire world.
What would you do if that secret were your very identity?

In almost every way, Palo Vista seems like a typical California city, with office buildings, schools, and homes sprawled out across suburbia, filled with families making a life for themselves at the dawn of the new millennium.
But two seniors at Mt. MacMurray High are about to find out that nothing is as it seems. Jason Nix is a star athlete and honors student who can’t seem to remember anything about his childhood. Elyse Van Auten is a budding artist from a broken home whose father left her mother two years ago – or so she’s been led to believe.

Like most teens entering adulthood, Elyse and Jason just want to find out who they really are. For them, however, the stakes go far beyond their own personal quest. Join them on a journey of self-discovery that becomes a desperate fight for survival against enemies determined to conceal the truth … and find out what happens when that fight becomes personal.

Review:

This book is near impossible to put down. While the genre isn’t my go-to, I was fascinated by this story and hooked right from the beginning. Emrys builds up a post-apocalyptic world that had me saying “what if” to my friends, and the characters were so intriguing to read about. I know there is a sequel coming, and I can’t wait to see how the story continues.  Identity Break is definitely worthy of a 5-star review!

5 stars

    Thanks so much for the great review! That’s exactly what I was shooting for: a book interesting enough to transcend its genre. Though the sequel isn’t written yet, I do have a novella out in the same series titled “Artifice.”

    I also found the book impossible to put down, and I can’t wait to read what happens next! Have you read the prequel ARTIFICE? It’s awesome too!
