I’ve seen this book around and always thought the cover on the left was nice. Borne sounds pretty interesting.
Hi Breana, Borne’s definitely an intriguing character!
Sounds like a cool dystopian, Sassy. This is a new one for me, loving the premise 🙂 Here’s my Friday post if you’re interested Inspiration Pie

Ah!! Didn’t know that. Thanks for the tip. Hope you had a lovely weekend, too!
This book sounds like nothing I have ever seen before and it sounds really intriguing. I actually like both of the covers, but if I had to choose, I would pick the one on the right. I hope that you enjoy this one. 🙂
Thanks, and I did 🙂

Both covers are cleverly designed. And that’s the thing about Borne, he’s unpredictable.
