Read this one on a whim and really enjoyed it! Waking up 100 years in the future because you donated your body to science is such a concept! It had me eager to read more. The only reason it for 4 stars instead of 5 was because I felt like there were holes in the plot that I wanted explained. But that may have been the point because it was written as a vlog post while Tegan is on the run.

Very interesting take on a Sci-Fi novel. It was filled with good action, fun characters and a interesting plot. This book was hard for me to put down and I would highly recommend it. For a full review go to Dark Faerie Tales: http://darkfaerietales.com/review-wak...

My name is Tegan Oglietti, and on the last day of my first lifetime, I was so, so happy. Sixteen-year-old Tegan is just like every other girl living in 2027--she's happiest when playing the guitar, she's falling in love for the first time, and she's joining her friends to protest the wrongs of the world: environmental collapse, social discrimination, and political injustice. But on what should have been the best day of Tegan's life, she dies--and wakes up a hundred years in the future, locked in a government facility with no idea what happened. Tegan is the first government guinea pig to be cryonically frozen and successfully revived, which makes her an instant celebrity--even though all she wants to do is try to rebuild some semblance of a normal life. But the future isn't all she hoped it would be, and when appalling secrets come to light, Tegan must make a choice: Does she keep her head down and survive, or fight for a better future? Award-winning author Karen Healey has created a haunting, cautionary tale of an inspiring protagonist living in a not-so-distant future that could easily be our own.
