Uninvited was quite interesting at the beginning. It starts off with a society that is starting to become obsessed with this so called "kill gene" that even the government is joining in the campaign against all the carriers of the gene, no matter who you are or how young you are. It's a society on the verge of becoming dystopian. And that's where Davy story begins. Even though, she's aware of HTS, Davy doesn't really pay attention to it because her life is perfect at the moment, but once she becomes part of the oppressed HTS carriers, everything changes, and for the worse. She starts to have doubts about herself and others and doesn't trust or want help from anybody, including from her family (Throughout the book, it seemed that sometimes she had difficulty standing up against wrongdoings and choosing to do what was right). However, that's where the SF aspect of the story kind of ends because once she meets Sean (I have to admit, he sounds very cute :) it becomes more of a romance story. Yes, her adventure continues as she's taken into a camp to become a train assassin or something like that, but after that, the story just seemed to move too fast. We really don't see more of what's going on outside of the camp regarding the gene or of creepy Dr. Wainwright, we just hear about them through short written reports between the chapters. Also, as Davy starts to finally overcome her negative feelings towards herself and for other carriers, and to realize that not all the carriers are evil as the society is making them to be, and the story becomes more mysterious, bam... it ends..... ahhhhhh... I hope in the second book we see more of the society in which Davy lives in, and if all the hype against the so-called HTS gene is really true....
*Loved Davy's friendship with Gil. :)
