Derivates Rising Trilogy

"I was intrigued by the premise of The Underground and Liv Evans more than lived up to expectation. As soon as I began reading, I was thoroughly immersed in the world, characters and their cause. The complexity of the setting was perfectly presented, creating a clear picture in my mind without bogging down the pace with heavy description. While there is an extensive cast of characters, they are individuals with distinctive personalities, abilities and motivation. I found myself as interested in some of the sides as I was in our main couple. Well, maybe not. There's simply no competing with Flit and KC-847."

- Charisse Moritz, author of 'Shatter' and 'Shakespeare Burning'

"Liv managed to build a futuristic authoritarian world with delightful strokes of defiance and human tenacity."

- Daniel Newwyn, author of 'The Color of Your Voice' and 'The Thirst'

"The Underground is a well-written and engaging account of a society living apart. Part X-men (think prejudice against mutants), part Hunger Games (think strong female lead with realistic family, friendships and romantic relationships), the story caught my attention at once and held it throughout. Dystopias can be depressing -- and I expect the series to get darker -- but this was an uplifting and entertaining read. Highly recommended."

- Frances Evelyn, author of ''The Time Before' and 'The Changeling Tree'
