TRUST NO ONE

Detroit 2030. Peri Reed, a renegade escaping her conflicts, gets double-crossed by both the person she loved and the government organization that recruited her. She can't trust anyone. Her crush, her agency, her family, herself.

The Drafter is a book about Peri. She holds a poweful skill that allows her to change time, although it makes her forget both the history she changed and the history she edited. Peri lands not in a normal job, but a job that tasks her with changing the past. She kills and deceives and brainwashes and steals.

She's a silent ghost in the night.

When Peri discovers that she is on a list of corrupt operatives to be killed she realizes that she has been manipulated, she has been used, she has been exploited, she has been controlled. Peri uses her ability in this sci-fi piece to show readers how important trust is in human relationships. The Veil similarly uses characters with special abilities in a different setting to also show use a similar message.

3rd Quarter Independent Reading Reflection

The books I read this quarter were:
The Drafter by Kim Harrison
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Cruise Control by Terry Trueman
No Right Turn by Terry Trueman

My goals last quarter were to read a total of 4 books. I met that goal. I met my goals probably because I read shorter books that were easier to read. One goal that I have for my 4th quarter independent reading is to read more books by Terry Trueman like Stuck In Neutral or Life Happens Next. Another goal I have is to read 4 books by the end of the quarter. They don't have to be lengthy books, but like last quarter I want to read any 4 books.
