     Gr 9 Up-Fast-paced second-person narration places readers squarely in the head of an amnesiac teen girl who only knows that she has a blackbird tattoo on her wrist and that someone is trying to kill her. Quickly adopting the nickname Sunny, the main character soon finds herself framed for theft. Not trusting the police, she manages to find sanctuary among a group of wealthy Los Angeles teens. Romantic tension builds between the protagonist and Ben, her rescuer. Sunny soon discovers abilities she didn't know she had: being able to dodge assassin's bullets and also excelling in close hand-to-hand combat when cornered by pursuers. Tantalizing flashes of memories, along with clues from her assailants, reveal that Sunny is a family-less teen runaway who depended on a handsome friend to survive the rigors of being hunted by the jaded elite. Plenty of plot twists will leave readers guessing as to who is trustworthy. Inspired by Richard Connell's classic short story, "The Most Dangerous Game," the novel draws to a satisfying close but leaves plenty of room for a sequel.-Madigan McGillicuddy, Atlanta-Fulton Public Library, Atlanta, GA

     A young woman runs from unknown enemies in this heart-pounding mystery.Sunny (real name unknown) wakes on a Los Angeles subway track, a train hurtling toward her and no memory of who she is or how she got there. She escapes before the police can ask questions but quickly finds herself fleeing violent strangers who seem hell-bent on killing her. She has few clues to her identity: a blackbird and a short string of numbers and letters freshly tattooed on her wrist and a knapsack containing a small notebook in which a cryptic message instructs her to call an unfamiliar phone number, $1,000 in cash, a pocketknife and a can of Mace. Dreams of running from danger with a boy she doesn't recognize but with whom she may have been in love could hold the key to Sunny's past. The action never stops, as Sunny is framed for robbery and arson, while a mysterious man focused on revenge hunts her down. Sunny's story is told through a flawless second-person narration, but the use of third-person to convey the viewpoints of several secondary characters knocks readers out of the carefully constructed, intensely immediate position of protagonist.This edgy, action-packed thriller gives future genre offerings something to aspire to. (Thriller. 15-18)

     September 1, 2014
     Grades 7-10 Carey's latest is a high-concept thriller: a girl with no memory is hunted through L.A. by a shadowy organization, and to survive, she must discover who she is and what they want. The narrative also has a hook: the story is told in second person, so it is you who wakes up pinned under a subway train with no idea how you got there. This nameless you adopts the nickname Sunny, meets a suspiciously helpful boy named Ben, and is harried at every turn by strangers intent on killing her. Carey's atypical narrator works well in generating immediacy, a suspenseful mystery, and a frenetic pace but fares less well in the gradual unveiling of the answers, as Carey employs other viewpoints to flesh out the picture. This story starts strong with high stakes and propulsive action, but it does lose some steam as repetitive chase and escape scenes lead to minimal payoff. When the smoke clears, there isn't much for readers to hang on to, and the abrupt ending leaves the bulk of the story for the next volume.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
