The first in a two-book series, Uninvited tackles intriguing questions about free will, identity, and human nature. Davy wants to trust him maybe he's not as dangerous as he seems. Only Sean, a fellow HTS carrier, can relate to her new life. Davy doesn't feel any different, but genes don't lie.

Her boyfriend ditches her, her parents are scared of her, and she can forget about her bright future at Juilliard. When Davy Hamilton's tests come back positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome (HTS)-aka the kill gene-she loses everything. The Scarlet Letter meets Minority Report in bestselling author Sophie Jordan's chilling new novel about a teenage girl who is ostracized when her genetic test proves she's destined to become a murderer.

Darcy belongs in an alternate world where the Great Chicago Fire never happened, and deadly creatures called Shades terrorize the human population.Īnd she hates that the person most able to help her get them is Conn. When Conn betrays Darcy and she is arrested, she realizes that she can't rely on anything-not Conn, not herself, and not even the laws of nature. It doesn't line up with the way he first looked at her. What does surprise her is how quickly she comes to trust Conn, and that he makes her feel both desire and desired in a way she hadn't thought possible.

So she isn't surprised that she doesn't recognize Conn, the new boy at her high school, even though he seems to know her-or at least know something about her. Darcy Jones doesn't remember anything before the day she was abandoned as a child outside a Chicago firehouse.
