Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson
4.0
Coming to the last pages of Ultraviolet all I can think is this: wtf?
The writing is exceptional in Ultraviolet and I loved how Alison's "condition" is evident right from the very first page, even if you don't realise it at the time. And you will realise it once everything comes to light.
The biggest thing I loved about this novel was the blend of genres. The smooth transition from one genre to the next to executed brilliantly and it didn't make the reader feel like the novel was that out of place. Although, the transition did make me pause and re-read the last couple of pages because, trust me, it was very out there and unexpected.
I've never read anythin from R.J Anderson before, but I'm willing to read something of hers again. Ultraviolet was filled with awesome characters, an alright love interest (it wasn't a main focus in the novel which I really respect) and a shocker of an ending. Definitely would come back for more if there was to be announced a sequel (cause this is the kind of standalone book I can imagine having a sequel--like Across The Universe by Beth Revis).
