"Sneak" by Evan Angler

 

 About this book:

  “When Logan Langly backed out of getting the Mark and went on the run, no one thought he could survive on his own. Without the Mark, you can't buy food, go to the doctor, or use a tablet--you aren't even a citizen.
  But when he discovers that his sister is being held in a mysterious hidden prison named Acheron, Logan risks everything to travel through an underground network of the Markless to rescue her.
  Logan arrives only to find that Acheron holds more secrets than anyone could have guessed and that all his careful planning is worthless against a government that will do anything to gain absolute control.
  It seems there is only one place to turn. But can a banned book with whisper-thin pages and warnings about the real meaning of the Mark really hold the Answer?”


Series: Book #2 of the “Swipe” series. (Book #1, “Swipe”, review Here!) (There are currently four and waiting for the fifth) {More about this series: “Find out in the first book of this exciting series that is "Left Behind" meets "Matched" for middle-grade readers.”}

There was lots more Spiritual content in “Sneak” than “Swipe” which I like, still it’s an interesting plot.

"Swipe" by Evan Angler

About this book:

  “Everyone gets the Mark. It gives all the benefits of citizenship. Yet if getting the Mark is such a good thing, then why does it feel so wrong?
  Set in a future North America that is struggling to recover after famine and global war, "Swipe" follows the lives of three kids caught in the middle of a conflict they didn't even know existed. United under a charismatic leader, every citizen of the American Union is required to get the Mark on their 13th birthday in order to gain the benefits of citizenship.
  The Mark is a tattoo that must be swiped by special scanners for everything from employment to transportation to shopping. It's almost Logan Langly's 13th birthday and he knows he should be excited about getting the Mark, but he hasn't been able to shake the feeling he's being watched. Not since his sister went to get her Mark five years ago . . . and never came back.
  When Logan and his friends discover the truth behind the Mark, will they ever be able to go back to being normal teenagers?”


Series: Book #1 of the “Swipe” series. (There are currently four and waiting for the fifth) {More about this series: “Find out in the first book of this exciting series that is "Left Behind" meets "Matched" for middle-grade readers.”}

Spiritual Content- Logan sees online about different religious but he doesn’t have the slightest idea what they taught; “God forgive us” is said; Instead of saying “For Pete’s Sake” and “For the love of Pete” the ruler’s name is put in place of Pete.

Negative Content- Minor cussing including: a ‘shut it’, a ‘w*ss’, a ‘crummy’, two ‘idiot’s, three ‘screw’s, four forms of ‘suck’, five ‘shut up’s, and six ‘stupid’s; Five curses are said (or mumbled) but not written; Sarcasm; Dane says he can’t wait to get his Mark and “stop replying on my stupid parents”; “that meddling little—“ is said but interrupted; Killing people (semi-detailed); Slurs about the Markless.

Sexual Content- Who-likes-who and mentions of dating; Erin gets called pretty many times; Some may think that Logan has a crush on Erin, but Dane does have a crush on Hailey, and Hailey on Logan.

-Logan Langly

-Erin Arbitor (I’m including her here because she has the second most P.O.V.s)
                                         P.O.V. switches between them, Blake, Hailey, Dane and Mr. Arbitor.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to do a review of “Swipe” on here, as the main character is a boy and this is a blog for girls. But some of y’all have requested it and because Erin has the second amount of P.O.V.s, I am. ;) Though this book (whole series, really) has a unique plot line, I wish there wasn’t so much minor cussing! :(

See y'all on Friday!
