“Impeccably plotted and organized, incredible characters. Absolutely deserves 5/5.” Jess, Goodreads
In order to put an end to the people who took everything from them, a 14-year old girl and the man who was supposed to usher her family to safety must go under cover in a hostile institution to uncover the government’s biggest weapon and darkest secrets…
Fourteen year old Kara Mason used to live at a fusion energy generator station on the outskirts of a major city. She used to travel with her brothers every week to attend classes inside the safety of the city, surrounded by force fields meant to keep everything else out. Until she and her twin brother Hank passed the test and are summoned to attend the prestigious but mysterious Institute in preparation for their positions as a scientists at the Northern Laboratories. The problem is, Kara doesn’t understand why they weren’t meant to pass the tests, or why it means they have to run. All she knows is that she’s terrified of the monsters on the other side of the force field. She’ll have to face more than monsters in order to get the answers she needs.
Due North is an exciting science-fiction dystopian thriller set in a world rebuilt from ruin. The government keeps people safe, but it comes at a cost. Does Kara have what it takes to navigate the outside world or will she lose herself in the halls of the frozen laboratories?
