I love the sound of this book- a dystopian sci-fi full of action and tough lead characters. I haven't seen much about it on the web, but it does look great.

You or your Alt? Only one will survive.
The city of Kersh is a safe haven, but the price of safety is high. Everyone has a genetic Alternate—a twin raised by another family—and citizens must prove their worth by eliminating their Alts before their twentieth birthday. Survival means advanced schooling, a good job, marriage—life.
Fifteen-year-old West Grayer has trained as a fighter, preparing for the day when her assignment arrives and she will have one month to hunt down and kill her Alt. But then a tragic misstep shakes West’s confidence. Stricken with grief and guilt, she’s no longer certain that she’s the best version of herself, the version worthy of a future. If she is to have any chance of winning, she must stop running not only from her Alt, but also from love . . . though both have the power to destroy her.
Elsie Chapman's suspenseful YA debut weaves unexpected romance into a novel full of fast-paced action and thought-provoking philosophy. When the story ends, discussions will begin about this future society where every adult is a murderer and every child knows there is another out there who just might be better.

This looks so good!!! Like a little bit of The Hunger Games and I forget the name of the book, I think it's Glitch, but I don't rememeber. Anyways, I am definitely adding this to my TBR List.

I requested this book for review but was denied if I remember correctly. It looks really good though. I picked it up at the bookstore but ended up putting it back down. Hope you get to read it soon!
