Rush
I thought Rush was an interesting premise. It is definitely different from any recent YA books that I have read. You are definitely thrown right into the action from the beginning, much like Miki is and have to kind of learn the ropes along the way. I have to admit, the one thing I didn't like about the story was the lack of world building. I'm still not a hundred percent sure what the game is and why they are pulling teenagers to fight the enemy. I'm hoping in the next book, more details will be revealed. That being said, I liked the characters all around. Miki is a strong female lead and one I found myself rooting for. There is a small hint at a love triangle, but I'm not really sure it will go anywhere. The book does end in a cliffhanger with unanswered questions. The next book, Push, comes out in June, so hopefully some of them will be resolved.
