5/29/2023 0 Comments Lissa price starters seriesSet in the near future, after everyone but the very young and the very old have been killed in a bio-warfare attack, the book opens with Callie, a teenager, deciding to “rent” her body to wealthy seniors wanting to be young again, through the shadowy and mysterious organization called Prime Destinations. I’m so glad that I did, because STARTERS by debut author Lissa Price is a fast-paced thrilling book that I read in just one sitting. But when I realized that a book we were publishing was written by a local Southern California author, a book I had heard much internal buzz about already, I decided to give it a try. I blame this on a combination of factors: no longer being a teen myself, a preference for wistful, angsty contemporary fiction, and a genuine fear of the dark future world depicted in many of these books. I’ve read THE HUNGER GAMES series, but the sea of paranormal, dystopian and fantasy books that crowd bookstore shelves these days leaves me cold. I will admit right up front that I rarely read dystopian young adult books.
