I didn’t expect to get a glimpse into both characters’ minds, so that was a pleasant surprise! Both of them were fabulous characters for different reasons, and in many ways they are completely perfect for each other.

The story is told from alternating points of view: Ariane’s and Zane’s. It’s more about evil corporations, first loves, tender and hesitant romance, high school drama, and bullies, all with a small sci-fi twist. Although it does have sci-fi elements, they don’t dominate the story at all. The Rules reads surprisingly like a contemporary book, and that’s one of the things that made me love it so much. Suddenly, nothing is simple anymore, especially not the rules. After years of trying to be invisible, Ariane finds the attention frightening-and utterly intoxicating. Ariane's survival-and that of her adoptive father-depends on her ability to blend in among the full-blooded humans in a small Wisconsin town, to hide in plain sight at her high school from those who seek to recover their lost (and expensive) "project."īut when a cruel prank at school goes awry, it puts her in the path of Zane Bradshaw, the police chief's son and someone who sees too much. Ariane Tucker has followed them since the night she escaped from the genetics lab where she was created, the result of combining human and extraterrestrial DNA.
