The Dark Intercept by Julia Keller
From GoodReads:
The State controls your emotions. What would you pay to feel free?
In a radiant world of endless summer, the Intercept keeps the peace. Violet Crowley, the sixteen-year-old daughter of New Earth’s Founding Father, has spent her life in comfort and safety. Her days are easy thanks to the Intercept, a crime-prevention device that monitors and provokes emotion. But when her long-time crush, Danny Mayhew, gets into a dangerous altercation on Old Earth, Violet launches a secret investigation to find out what he's hiding. An investigation that will lead her to question everything she's ever known about Danny, her father, and the power of the Intercept.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Violet is the daughter of president of New Earth, which is kind of a new planet that has been created right above Earth to save all the "right" people when old Earth was pretty much dead. New Earth's residents have this device in them called the Intercept which is crime-prevention device that monitors and provokes emotion. It makes New Earth the perfect place where everyone lives in comfort and safety.
But when her long-time crush, Danny Mayhew gets into an altercation on Old Earth and doesn't tell her why, she starts to investigate on her own to find out what he is hiding. While investigating why Danny keeps going back to Old Earth, Violet ends up finding out more than she wishes for which leads her to question her whole life.
This book had a lot of promise but at the same time I felt like I was reading some little bits from here and there from other dystopian books. It was good on some aspects, some things were originals but others? Not so much, overall 3 out of 5 stars. I'm not sure if I will be continuing the series.
XOXO,
