I enjoyed the characters- I loved seeing the different dynamic between those who are carriers and those who are considered “normal”. Sean basically shows her that just because you’re labeled a certain way by society does not mean you’re necessarily what they claim you are. I would say the only “positive” outcome of this discovered gene is that Davy meets Sean- another kill gene carrier. Everyone diagnosed with the kill gene is treated like lesser beings. As crime rates climb to staggering numbers, Davy finds herself the victim of judgmental, ignorant, and presumptuous individuals. This gene is found in almost all people with homicidal tendencies. This story takes place in the not-so-distant future when the “kill” gene is discovered. Unfortunately, her ideal life comes crumbling down around her when she is discovered to be genetically flawed. Her life starts off perfect in the novel- the perfect boyfriend, perfect family, perfect school, and perfect friends. The story follows Davy, a musical prodigy from a wealthy and respected family. Uninvited is the first novel in the Uninvited series by New York Times best-selling author Sophie Jordan. But even if she can learn to trust him, can Davy trust herself? Only Sean, a fellow HTS carrier, can relate to her new life and tells her that she alone controls her actions-not the code embedded into her DNA. Uninvited from her prestigious school, avoided by her friends and family, she is placed in a special class with other 'carriers' who are treated like the murderers they someday might become.
