Studious and principled Eden Pruitt stepped out of line just once. Unfortunately, that reckless decision ended with an arrest, a mug shot, and two very concerned parents. Now they’re starting over. In Iowa, of all places. On the cusp of her senior year, of all times. The situation is less than ideal but she’ll just have to manage, and without complaint. The change of address was her fault after all, and she isn’t going to make anything harder on her parents, who have already been through enough.

But life in Iowa turns strange fast. Odd things are happening, and Eden has no idea what any of it means. Then she comes home from her first day of school to a ransacked house and the nightmare officially begins. Her parents are missing. She’s convinced something terrible has happened to them. But nobody believes her. Except for a hardened, mysterious stranger who is as dangerous as he is enticing.

My Review

The Fabrication of Eden Pruitt
by K.E. Ganshert
Book 1 in the Eden Pruitt series
Rating: 4.5/5

Wow. The author knocks it out of the park with a thrilling new YA adventure that hooks you from the start and holds you captive until the end. You won’t want to put the book down and once you do, you’ll want the next book ASAP. I am so excited for the next books in the series.

First, the book cover is gorgeous and I love the monochromatic look.
Second, I love stories with mystery, romance, suspense and sci-fi components. This book pretty much has it all and will keep you guessing. The writing is well written and fast-paced.
Third, the characters are well-developed with just enough to keep you interested but also craving more in future books. Eden Pruitt is a more complex character than initially suspected with many layers to uncover. Cassian is a very mysterious and interesting character that I can’t wait to read more about.
Fourth, the chemistry between Eden and Cassian is swoon worthy and that’s all I’m gonna say 😉

PG-13 content.

Highly recommend if you enjoy YA contemporary fiction with romance, mystery, sci-fi, and suspense.
