Review-

I have to be honest---I loved this book from the first page. Lacey Bennett, motherless young troublemaker, is sent to a 'rehabilitation center for troubled teens'. One innocent joyride resulting in the death of her friend causes Lacey's dad and step-mom to send her to the center. Once there, Lacey meets handsome Taylor and begins an epic adventure. I don't do spoilers so I can't be very specific about the book. What I can say is that this isn't the normal troubled teen story. Altered has mystery, romance, sci-fi aspects, and a lot of adventure contained within its deceptively thin pages. Lacey grows into a stronger and more mature young woman as she is faced with some very sobering truths that other teenagers probably wouldn't have been able to handle. She is cut off from her family, hunted by bad guys, and must save the world. The best part is that there will be a SEQUEL which I will be eagerly awaiting!
