PERSEFoNE

Sixteen-year-old Noa has been a victim of the system ever since her parents died. Now living off the grid and trusting no one, she uses her computer-hacking skills to stay safely anonymous and alone. But when she wakes up on a table in an empty warehouse with an IV in her arm and no memory of how she got there, Noa starts to wish she had someone on her side. Enter Peter Gregory. A rich kid and the leader of a hacker alliance, Peter needs people with Noa's talents on his team. Especially after a shady corporation called AMRF threatens his life in no uncertain terms. But what Noa and Peter don't realize is that Noa holds the key to a terrible secret, and there are those who'd stop at nothing to silence her for good. Fans of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will devour the story of Noa, a teen soul mate to Lisbeth Salander.

Noa Torsen is on the run. After outsmarting the sinister corporation behind Project Persephone, Noa and her friend Zeke move stealthily across the country, rescuing runaways who are targeted to become test subjects. Noa knows all too well what happens on the Project's operating tables: She still bears the scars. And she's determined to keep the Project from using other teens as guinea pigs. Back in Boston, Peter anxiously follows Noa's movements from his computer, using his hacker skills to feed her the information she needs to stay alive. But he's desperate to do something more to help. Especially when he learns what Project Persephone has done to his ex-girlfriend, Amanda. Then, in an explosive confrontation, Noa and her team are trapped in the one place they thought was safe. It will take everything Noa and Peter have to bring down the Project before it gets them first. And with no one to trust and enemies hiding at every turn, they may be the only people alive who can. This jaw-dropping second book in the Don't Turn Around trilogy raises the stakes to their absolute limit and will leave readers begging for the exciting conclusion.

In this pulse-pounding final installment of the Don't Turn Around trilogy, which Kirkus Reviews called "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for teens, a surefire hit," Noa and Peter race across the country in their search to destroy Project Persephone before time runs out. Noa Torson is out of options. On the run with the three remaining teens of Persephone's Army, she is up against immeasurable odds. The group is outnumbered, outsmarted, and outrun. But they are not giving up. When Noa and Peter realize they can't run anymore, and that Noa's health is quickly failing, they know they must go back to where this began. But when they come face-to-face with the man who started it all, the question becomes, can they win? This riveting final book truly ratchets up the action as Noa and Peter confront the evil that has chased them and won't let them go.
