What a great read! This is the first young adult book for author Laura DiSilverio, and she did a wonderful job with it.

I love dystopian/young adult series, but I wasn’t sure how this one was going to play out with a bug on the cover. Well the locusts are only a small part of this story, which leads Everly Jax and her friends on a mission to escape the Kube.

Of course there are bumps in the road on the escape, so I was wondering where this was going to lead them, but once they ran into Bulrush, the “Underground Railroad”, it took a really great turn for me.

I thought the story was fast paced and really engaging. If it slowed down, the next page would bring it back up to pace. I would completely recommend this to those who like dystopian series. I am going to pick up the next volume soon!

I received this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. ( )

Incubation book 1 in the Incubation Trilogy by Laura DiSilverio is a futuristic dystopian fantasy book that is believable and hard to put down. It keeps you in suspense and on the edge of your seat as you run with Jax, Wyck and Halla to escape with them from the Kube. It is a fast moving and suspenseful read and whether you are a young adult or an adult you will enjoy this read.

The world is not the same since the great epidemic. Children are taken from their famly and made to live in a Kube and taught what the Pragmatists, who are the powers to be, want them to learn to go into careers they chose for them. They have no choices but what is chosen for them. This is where the story gets interesting because Jax doesn't know who her parents are and she desperately wants to. Wyck doesn't want to be made to be in the military and Halla is pregnant with her boyfriends baby and doesn't want her child taken from her since they didn't have permission to have a child. This is what leads up to the three of them running from the Kube. Will Jax, Wyck and Halla survive? Will they achieve what they set out to achieve? What kind of trouble is waiting for them? These and other questions is what this book will explore and take you on their journey to survive and get away.

This is a fast paced, futuristic and believable book about a dystopian society. It keeps you guessing and rooting for Jax, Wyck and Halla. It is a nail bitter at times and emotional at other times. It is a very good read for adults and young adults. If you like sci-fi futuristic books you will want to read this book and series. I highly recommend it. If you were a big fan of Hunger Games then I think you will be a fan of this one too. I can't wait to read the next two books.
