Sneak by Evan Angler


I would like to first point out that “Sneak” is the second book in The Swipe Series, if you have not read “Swipe”, I highly recommend you start there. I was a little disappointed when I got this book from Booksneeze and realized it was a sequel but after reading both books, I have no complaints. I loved them both! I may not be in the target, young adult, audience but I still felt I could relate to the characters, which were fairly well developed and I really enjoyed the futuristic plot.

The Swipe Series follows Logan Langly and his new friend Erin on their quest to discover the truth about Logan’s sister’s mysterious disappearance. In the dystopian one world government of the future, a young person is forced to either accept a mark on their thirteenth birthday or they’re forced out of society and made to live like criminals without a way to work, buy food or seek medical help. In “Sneak” you learn that Logan’s sister is being held at a hidden prison for markless people. Logan and his group of markless friends journey across the country to find and rescue her and along the way, hear of and start to learn about a highly forbidden book, The Bible.

I love this series so much. I cannot wait for the next book and I’m so thankful Booksneeze offered this book. It is quite suspenseful and packed with action and adventure. I think some of my nieces and nephews would really enjoy it. My only warning is that the suspense and mystery can be a little intense if reading at night. It may not be a good idea to let a younger audience read these books before bed. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
