Good, fast paced story of a teenager that was physically disabled, and had gene therapy so that he would walk, and talk. That all happened before, under a different doctor, and the current doctor wants to know how it happened, so wants to keep Blaine in the institute to study him.
And Blaine knows he has to escape.
Told in multiple voices from the bad guys to the good guys to those in between. Best in Bristane, Australian, it feels as though the author knows all the landmarks and uses them well in the story. Good point of views. Very real people. I am looking forward to the next books in the series.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Integrate is a fast-paced thriller. The tension was kept high at all times. As in all good thrillers, things go from bad to worse. I had to know how it would all turn out. The book kept me hungry, desperately hoping that justice would be done.
I particularly enjoyed the protagonist. Blaine Colton has spent much of his life confined to a wheelchair, trapped within his own body, barely able to communicate with the outside world. His story gave me a small insight into the frustrations that such a life must entail. The science woven through the book was fascinating. Enough for me to learn something interesting, without overpowering the story.
I look forward to seeing what the future next has in store for Colton in books 2 and 3.

The premise of this book had me so invested before I even opened it. The idea of gene therapy and an almost super human is something that’s right up my alley!
This was a solid novel that was fast paced and well thought out. I would have loved more of Blaine’s back story, his struggles before he was cured and the rehab he undertook.
