Colleen Houck Book Club- March
March 1, 2015
UNLEASHED by Sophie Jordan
Last month’s pick was Fragile Destiny by Suzanne Lazear. For those of you who have never read steam punk, this is a great book series to start on! For those of you who participated in the live chat on Goodreads with authors Suzanne and Colleen Houck, thanks! It was so much fun! For the next reading selection Colleen has chosen…
UNLEASHED
by her wonderfully talented and good friend,
Sophie Jordan
Here’s a little teaser
” What if the worst thing you ever did was unforgivable?
Davy’s world fell apart after she tested positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome. She was expelled from her school, dumped by her boyfriend, abandoned by friends, and shipped off to a camp that turns HTS carriers into soldiers. Davy may have escaped, but the damage has already been done. The unthinkable has happened. Now, even worse than having everyone else see her as a monster is the knowledge that they may have been right about her all along. Because Davy has killed.
On the run from government agents, Davy is rescued by Caden, the charismatic leader of an underground group of rebels. Despite Caden’s assurances that the Resistance is made up of carriers like her, Davy isn’t sure she can trust them. Then again, she doesn’t even know if she can trust herself . . . or her growing feelings for Caden. But if she doesn’t belong with Caden and his followers, is there anywhere she can call home?“
If this sounds like a series you’d like to read, you might want to start with her first,
UNINVITED
Here’s a little teaser on book 1
“You can’t change your DNA…even when it says you’re a murderer.
When Davy tests positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome, aka “the kill gene,” she loses everything. Once the perfect high school senior, she is uninvited from her prep school and abandoned by her friends and boyfriend. Even her parents are now afraid of her—although she’s never hurt a fly. Davy doesn’t feel any differently, but genes don’t lie. One day she will kill someone.
Without any say in the matter, Davy is thrown into a special class for HTS carriers. She has no doubt the predictions are right about them, especially Sean, who already bears the “H” tattoo as proof of his violence. Yet when the world turns on the carriers, Sean is the only one she can trust. Maybe he’s not as dangerous as he seems. Or maybe Davy is just as deadly.”
Introducing Sophie Jordan

I’m very excited to check out her novel and I look forward to discussing it at the end of the month with all of you on Goodreads for the live chat on March 30th at 6pm (PST).
So everybody who wants to join us, go get your hands on this book and if you’ve already read it then awesome! You can start leaving your questions right away (but don’t share spoilers just yet). Also, remember that you don’t need to read the book to participate in the live chat. It’s a GREAT opportunity to get to know the authors and ask any questions you’d like!
For fun there will be a GIVEAWAY including free books by Sophie Jordan and a signed copy of Tiger’s Curse during the live chat! You won’t want to miss this one!
Stay tuned for the next editions of THE MODERN INK SOCIETY featuring guest blogger- J.R. Johansson and Sophie Jordan!
Happy reading everyone!
