I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.One-nineteen had been raised in the academy with other orphans of soldiers who’d died in the line of duty, and even then he’d been different. Although he’d always lived underground and had never seen the light of day, his activity level increased between dusk and dawn, and he would prowl the dorms for hours. The other boys would make fun of him, but he couldn’t stop himself. His body would only do what felt natural to him. His mentor, Dr. Shepard, tried forcing him to stay awake all day, but the conditioning hadn’t worked, so the doctor started giving him drugs. Without a pill, one-nineteen still found it impossible to sleep at night. Which could only mean one thing. The laboratory technicians who administered his evening meds had forgotten his sleeping pill. This had never happened before, and suddenly he felt downright scared of what might happen next. A change in routine was never a good thing. MaceThis is the 2nd book of the Hybrids series and it picks up with another escapee from the horrid labs that are controlled by the military and Dr. Shepherd.Knowing that they will never leave him alone, 119 hides in the only place he feels safe, and even then he feels that danger is only a few steps behind him.Brad Walsh is a loner -- by circumstance and choice.
