"Whatever, I call people as I deem fit," he interjected expressionlessly. Okay, that was insulting - how on earth did the name 'banana girl' suit me? He paused, then added with a smirk, "Or do you prefer 'servant' instead?" "What?" I frowned in confusion. "Servant'?" "Yeah, 'servant'." He cocked his head to one side and stared at me intently. "Do you like that better?" "Why on earth would I deserve the term 'servant'?" "Isn't it obvious? Your mother's my family's maid, and technically she's my parents' maid, so that makes you, her daughter, my servant," he replied with a shrug. What. The. Hell? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Riley's been living a life of invisibility her whole school life - and she's been doing an excellent job at that. "Avoid, avoid, avoid" is her life motto for surviving high school, especially when it comes to the most popular kids in school.

It turns out the son of the family her mother works for is none other than...Austin Hale, the most popular guy in school. And that, is when her senior year really begins.

"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

"Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it ceases to exist. I believe in many invisible things- ghosts, Bigfoot, unicorns. Mainly, though, I believe in myself- the girl hidden within the pale blue walls of this five-room, two story building under the unnerving fluorescent lights. I'm the girl no one has ever seen. But I exist. Don't I?" Compound 4 was burned to the ground. Compound 5 was liberated. Compounds 2 and 3 wait patiently for Jay and Isaac to arrive with the vaccine that has been created to protect what's left of the human race from The Virus that nearly wiped them out fifteen years ago. That leaves Compound 1, nestled in the deep woods of the northern United States. The warning they sent to Jay's supporters was clear: stay away. But Jay's never been good at following directions. Outside Compound 1, a laboratory exists. The bottom floor is a home; the upper floor is anything but. Mya Julien's life consists of needles, machines, tests and sickness. Being immune comes with a price, and when a dark-haired stranger crashes unwillingly into their life, she and her brother Finn discover a haunting truth. No one can miss you, if no one knows you exist. This is the last installment in the Immune series. Be sure to check out book one (Immune) and book two (Selected) before reading.
