Death Thieves

Extraordinary Futuristic World Building

Death Thieves - No Spoiler Review

Can our past change our future?   This is a sci-fi book that certainly makes your think about that question.   Summer Dawn Rae and Winter Eve Rae (I totally love their names) are twin sisters.  They have grown up in foster care and moved from home to home.  They finally go live with their Aunt Theresa and their Uncle.   Summer is very strong and independent, but certainly lives life to the fullest and may often cause torment in her own life and those around her.  Winter works hard in her life at following the rules and succeeding in school.   Summer loves and admires her sister and is often times her protector no matter the cost.    Summer has felt for some time that someone has been following her but can't figure out who.   As she sneaks out with her boyfriend, a truck hits them and Summer dies in the crash.  However, Tag, the one following her, takes her just before she died in the car accident to the future.  

This future world is a world where individuals cannot have children and is slowly ending.   Summer is a "Rae of hope" for this futuristic world.    I did feel that this book begins a little slow and you may want to put the book down but DON'T.   The character building that takes place in the beginning of the book is important.   There are so many wonderful twists that you will want to keep reading.   The characters and the world building are wonderful.  There are a few characters that we don't know a lot about but it did not leave me questioning their role in the book.   The plot and some of the twist and turns will make you stop and think.   Julie did a fantastic job with her creative writing in this book.  The futuristic world she created seems very believable and acceptable. 

There is minimal romance in the book.   Once you get about a third of the way through the book, it picks up pace and is very hard to put down.   One thing I didn't like is that the world building was so slow and wonderful but the ending was too quick and felt a little rushed.  However, I did enjoy the ending and maybe I was just sad that the book was over verses it ending too soon.   This is certainly a futuristic book with time travel.  Could this world that Julie has created ever be possible?

I did  receive this book for an honest review from e-books.
