Slated Series

This series was really hard for me to put down. I liked the sweet bits of romance but I also  liked how Kayla does not just become who she is told to she finds out for herself. These books are about learning who you are but also about sacrifice.


Background: Kayla has been slated. With all her memories gone she starts a new life with a new school and a new family. Kayla realizes however that she is not like the others who have been slated. With her friend Ben, Kayla starts on a journey to find answers about her past. This journey uncovers dark secrets and soon Kayla has no idea who to trust


Characters: Kayla is a pretty cool main character. She is very loyal but also very independent. In the book you really get to know her. She isn't just some hero always doing something impossible but Kayla is also a runner, an artist, and a teenage girl. It bothers me how some authors portray teenage girls sometimes but Kayla is pretty accurate and goes through many of the emotions that every teenage girl goes through.

Ben is Kayla's "friend". I can say very honestly that I fell in love with him in the first book. He is super sweet and caring. Not only that but he is not worried about breaking the rules for Kayla. I can say though that he does not always stay as perfect as he is towards the beginning.

Mac, Jazz, and Aiden are both always very helpful to Kayla. They often sacrifice their own safety in order to help her. Aiden is very consistently kind to her and is always there for her when she goes through a hard time.



Appropriateness: Romance wise the books are limited to kissing. The books have quite a bit of violence. There are explosions, guns, and some blood. There is quite a bit of violence between a sort of police and a rebel group. Kayla at some points has to use self-defense in order to protect herself. The second and third books are more violent than the first but all are intense. I would not recommend these books to someone who cannot handle some graphic fights.
