When she was tested for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome (HTS), or the “kill gene," Davy Hamilton thought nothing of it. Fast forward a few months, and the results come back positive. According to this test, she is dangerous, unstable, and could possibly murder someone at any moment. But that cannot be true, can it? Something like this could put all of her future plans in jeopardy.

Unfortunately, it happens, and now she is no longer welcome at her high school or with her friends. She has a new “crowd," if you can call a couple kids with HTS that, and she even has new classes for HTS carriers that are more boring than regular school. This may seem almost somewhat adequate so far, but that is only because life for Davy is about to get so much worse.

Although I loved this book, I found that many of the characters were very unlikeable and there was not a lot of character development. The concept of HTS was only briefly mentioned, as well, even though it is supposed to be the main focus of the story.

I would recommend this novel to those who love dystopian books with just a hint of science fiction.

One similar book is Divergent by Veronica Roth. If you are looking for something younger, The Unwanteds by Lisa McMann is great, too.
