Subject Seven is the Y.A debut for author James Moore. Its based on an interesting premise that the military is creating the perfect killer, and that these killers are all teenagers. With this premise , I was expecting an action novel, but it actually is not the fast paced thriller that I expected and is more a mystery novel of sorts.
The novel starts out with Subject Seven breaking out of his cell and escaping. After that the book skips forward a year. Subject Seven is getting used to his street life, but he keeps talking about the Other, but you have to wait until later in the book to find out who that person is. Next chapter, we get in the mind of Hunter, who woke up in a hotel room with no memory.
For the first part of the book, the point of view switches between Hunter and Subject Seven. Hunter continues having his memory loose and Subject Seven searches into his past. In the second part of this book, many more characters narrate. All of these characters are experiencing the same memory lose as Hunter.
The book wraps up fairly quickly. The ending is very action-packed and answers a lot of questions, but ends on a major cliffhanger . The cliffhanger is probably my biggest gripe with this book. Now I won't spoil the ending but the book ends just before the real action starts, which leaves me feeling as if this book was a prequel instead of the first book in a series.
My Rating:
