Out of Control by Sarah Alderson
5.0
Out of Control opens with Liva (Olivia) in a police station being questioned about an incident that she may have witnessed, while waiting at the station she meets Jay (Jaime) who's been brought in wearing handcuffs. And that's the "relaxing" part over with! Events at the police station lead to Liva and Jay going on the run, trying to keep one step ahead of people who seem to want to take Liva.
This book is full of action, it seemed like I read most of it in a run-on sentence as I couldn't slow my reading down enough to bother with punctuation! Reading the book truly does feel like being on an out of control journey. Liva is a brilliant, self sufficient girl who realises over the timeline of the book that though she is capable of surviving on her own, relying on other people won't make her weak.
The theme of human trafficking is something I've never read about in books before, fiction or non-fiction (though I have seen stories in the newspapers). I think that Sarah Alderson deals with the trafficking in the book very well, and while facts are presented and we get to know how Liva feels about it, the reader isn't presented with accounts of trafficking themselves, this is something that you can take away from the book and learn more about for yourself through the charities that are mentioned at the end of the book.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading books with action and hot guys (that's a lot of people!) So pick up a copy and be prepared to not put it down until you've reached the end!
