Synopsis

The cure had never been enforced. Until now. In the small city of Reye, Sabine LeRoux is one of the first people to receive the mandatory cure for mental illness. A fate she welcomes, in the hope the cure will somehow eradicate the unspoken curse that has plagued her all her life: everyone she cares about leaves, one way or another. It isn't until after her curing that Sabine begins to wonder if there isn't something else going on. First, she wakes up to learn that she's been inexplicably unconscious for weeks following the procedure. Second, her best friend Rory has mysteriously gone missing since the curings began, and no one seems to be looking for her. No one seems to care. And third, a precautionary examination at the curing clinic confirms Sabine's worst fears: the cure has not worked for her, and Sabine is warned to keep this a secret at all costs. Or else. Except Rory is still missing, and Sabine isn't about to just let that go. ★✩★✩★ "Total government control is frighteningly displayed in the unsettling and disturbing dystopian novel Citizen (Uncured Season 1) by Maggie Ray. It is a captivating story with a provocative plot and a suspenseful storyline. The dark setting, fantastical urban backdrop, and absolute government control of the populace is an ominous combination of elements that create a disturbing and lingering unease that is hard to shake off. Similar in nature to George Orwell's novel 1984, in which individuality is censored, the portentous account is not only thought-provoking but also nightmare-inducing. Skillfully written, the plot flows at a brisk pace, building a compelling story arc that is brimming with action, suspense, and drama, culminating in an abrupt and exciting conclusion. It is an electrifying dystopian tale that is unforgettable!" — Readers' Favorite
