About this listen

New York City as you've never seen it before. A thousand-story tower stretching into the sky. A glittering vision of the future, where anything is possible - if you want it enough.

Welcome to Manhattan, 2118.

A hundred years in the future, New York is a city of innovation and dreams. But people never change: Everyone here wants something...and everyone has something to lose.

Leda Cole's flawless exterior belies a secret addiction - to a drug she never should have tried and a boy she never should have touched.

Eris Dodd-Radson's beautiful, carefree life falls to pieces when a heartbreaking betrayal tears her family apart.

Rylin Myers' job on one of the highest floors sweeps her into a world - and a romance - she never imagined...but will her new life cost Rylin her old one?

Watt Bakradi is a tech genius with a secret: He knows everything about everyone. But when he's hired to spy by an upper-floor girl, he finds himself caught up in a complicated web of lies.

And living above everyone else on the thousandth floor is Avery Fuller, the girl genetically designed to be perfect. The girl who seems to have it all yet is tormented by the one thing she can never have.

Debut author Katharine McGee has created a breathtakingly original series filled with high-tech luxury and futuristic glamour, where the impossible feels just within reach. But in this world, the higher you go, the farther there is to fall....

I really enjoyed this book! The performance was fantastic and helped me enjoy the story even more. There where some twists and turns I wasn't expecting, specially at the end.

Hesitant at first to read the series but when a friend recommended it as "sci fi murder gossip girl" I had to find out what she was talking about. I am glad I did, it was a quick and easy listen and once you get past the robotic, weirdness of the narrator and look past some of the poor performance of characters reactions or responses it's a good listen. I like the fast pace to it, the unraveling of characters and simultaneously entwining other story lines unknowingly to them was great. I know it is a trilogy so that makes more sense as to why the ending felt so fast and final but I can't wait to see if it continues through the series.

This book was captivating and intriguing. The dynamics of all of the characters really amplified be complexity of the story of each of their lives. I am super excited listen to the second and third books of the series especially because of the narrators inflection.

Captivating

"Gossip girl"

Not realizing that this was a series, the long exposition. was tiring. . . then it got confusing.. . .then it was outstanding. the secrets and the deception was just as good as Dangerous Liasons.

From slow to HOLY SH!T

This book was all drama, but it didn't seem immature like a lot of other teen dramas. It was a fun read most of the time, and pretty fast paced. There was a point in the middle of the book where I thought "why am I reading this", but I continued and it picked up again.

It's funny reading the reviews because it seems like everyone liked or disliked different characters, so I guess it can be interpreted in different ways. My favorite were Avery and Atlas. Atlas is Avery's adopted brother. She is in love with him (not a spoiler since this is revealed in the very beginning of the book. He may or may not be in love with her - we don't find out until later in the book.) Everyone in the book acts like this is the most horrible thing ever, but I don't think it's a big deal because they are not blood related.

There were a lot of twists that you could see coming, but not too bad, and still an interesting read. The ending left a lot of things open, but not to the point where you're left with a cliffhanger. One person dies at the end, it's foreshadowed early on, so not a surprise. I just wish it was a different person, which would have made for a happier ending (for me)! There were a few people I wanted to push off the roof of that building! Ha ha.

Fun

I like that this was a 'believable' futuristic book. The author was so descriptive of the futuristic gadgets that I could almost see them. The story line is a little confusing at first since you are trying to follow about 8 different main characters, I found myself multiple times thinking 'wait who is this about?' But I quickly caught on in about a minute or 2 of each chapter. From the very start of the book you know someone dies from falling off the top of the tower and it's very exciting / anxious waiting to see who it is. There are a LOT of story lines to follow but it's very cool seeing how they all tie in together. Overall I think this was a great book and I love that they leave you hanging at the end. I also think the lady reading the story did a great job!

Really great book!
