The Murder Complex

(The Murder Complex #1)

Meadow Woodson, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision.

The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is—although he doesn’t know it—one of the MC’s programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family? 

 I had trouble rating this book. I liked the book, but there were some things that really bugged me. First is that I had trouble connection to the characters the first 50 pages. Because of this, I found the first part really slow. I also started doubting the book when Zephyr started having dreams about Meadow. At this point I went, NO NO NO!! No dreams come to life! As we went through the book and we figured out why he was having these dreams about her, I came to terms with it. 

Anyone else find it funny how he said flux and skitz instead of the actual curse words? Every time he said one of the two I couldn't help but laugh. Peri, Peri, Peri. I loved Peri. I love how Peri was the one innocent person in the book. How she was still nice in the world full of murder.

I give this book,

3.5 / 5 points

I can't decide.
