Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson
Ultraviolet is my very first read by R.J. Anderson, and it definitely won’t be the last! I enjoyed reading this book; it’s really different than anything I’ve read, given the subject matter.
The main character, Alison, was a really strong, likeable girl. Even in the situation she was in, confused and scared in the beginning, she grew more confident in herself every day. She knew she was different than others, but she was afraid of letting people know just how different she really was. But she didn’t give up, and she believed in herself. I really liked Faraday as well. I thought I had him figured out, but I was definitely wrong! Most of the secondary characters have a story as to why they are in the institution, and even those characters grew on me as well.
The book drew me in from page one. The writing held my attention and was fast paced. The plot was believable and really interesting, and the twists and turns kept me in suspense for what would happen next. The ending does have a bit of a twist, and while I knew ‘something’ different was coming at the end, that ending definitely wasn’t it. Also, the ending was pretty much left wide open, so I’m hoping that means this could possibly be a series?
Overall, this was a really different and interesting read for me. The summary doesn’t quite let you know what you’re in for when you do read the book. I really did like this book.
Thank you to Netgalley and Lerner Publishing Group for allowing me to read and review this book!
