Uninvited
by Sophie Jordan

Goodreads synopsis:

The Scarlet Letter meets Minority Report in bestselling author Sophie Jordan's chilling new novel about a teenage girl who is ostracized when her genetic test proves she's destined to become a murderer.

When Davy Hamilton's tests come back positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome (HTS)-aka the kill gene-she loses everything. Her boyfriend ditches her, her parents are scared of her, and she can forget about her bright future at Juilliard. Davy doesn't feel any different, but genes don't lie. One day she will kill someone.

Only Sean, a fellow HTS carrier, can relate to her new life. Davy wants to trust him; maybe he's not as dangerous as he seems. Or maybe Davy is just as deadly.

The first in a two-book series, Uninvited tackles intriguing questions about free will, identity, and human nature. Steeped in New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan's trademark mix of gripping action and breathless romance, this suspenseful tale is perfect for fans of James Patterson, Michelle Hodkin, and Lisa McMann.

I keep meaning to pick up one of Sophie Jordan's books. I have Firelight on my Kindle, but I've yet to take the plunge and give it a go. I have to admit to being a little sceptical of that series - the premise sounds a little odd to me - but I've been told by several people, whose opinions I trust, that it's a good read, so I still plan on giving it a go.
But this one sounds much, much more appealing! It sounds like it has just the right dose of possible romance, thrills, mystery and danger - perfect! I have this one pre-ordered at work, and hopefully it will arrive (it being a US publication makes it a little more tricky, but I have my fingers crossed).
Look out for this at the beginning of February!
