Davy’s Hamilton life seems going perfectly as planned. She got into Julliard and her boyfriend and her will spend a lot of time together since he will be going to NYU. But one day when she gets home she finds her mother and father really upset. And then she learns she has been tested positive as an HTS carrier. That means she has the kill-gene and that in any moment she could kill someone. She will be uninvited of her school and rearrange in another one in which they have people like her.

I think “Uninvited” was an amazing dystopia. The thing I liked the most about this book was that I could see it becoming something real. This book was not based on a futuristic world very different from ours, is just our world. The only thing that changes is that Scientifics have discovered a gene that most killers carry, and the response is to keep those people unable to kill. In my personal opinion this book was a really good critic to racism and the exclusion that people with some sort of metal illness suffer nowadays.

I really liked how Davy’s character develops and she is still faithful to her ethics. I also really liked how because of her situation she is able to get into new relationships that are more real than the ones she used to have. Apart from that, the way her family reacts, especially her brother, supporting her and caring for her I found it really human.

All in all, Uninvited was a really thought provoking book, that I highly suggest reading. However, I have not heard such great things about the second book and I do not know if I will read it.
