Book Review: “The Testing” by Joelle Charbonneau {with thanks to NetGalley & Houghton Mifflin Harcourt}
Cia must survive in a world that her time is almost up…and she must defy the odds to conquer The Testing…
A little about “The Testing”…
It’s graduation day for sixteen-year-old Malencia Vale, and the entire Five Lakes Colony (the former Great Lakes) is celebrating. All Cia can think about—hope for—is whether she’ll be chosen for The Testing, a United Commonwealth program that selects the best and brightest new graduates to become possible leaders of the slowly revitalizing post-war civilization. When Cia is chosen, her father finally tells her about his own nightmarish half-memories of The Testing. Armed with his dire warnings (”Cia, trust no one”), she bravely heads off to Tosu City, far away from friends and family, perhaps forever. Danger, romance—and sheer terror—await.
My review…

Trust me, you won’t want to take your eyes away from the pages! Seriously, since I started reading one afternoon, it became apparent that I was going to finish this no matter what…and I was positively sure I was going to adore it. And I sure did.
A really HUGE thanks to Netgalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for the copy of “The Testing” and I’m going to want to buy the hard-copy as soon as it hits shelves in the UK on June 4th!
Stay tuned for a blog tour I’ll be involved in on May 31st with my very first giveaway! So make sure you come back on the date above for your chances to win big!
happy reading,
