The Rules

The Rules by Stacey Kade, 410 pages

Ariane isn’t who she seems to be.  When she was six, she escaped from a genetic lab with the help of her adoptive father, who had recently lost his own daughter.  Ariane has his daughter’s name and life and since the girl had lived with her mother, no one in town knew anything was wrong.  Except that Ariane had some trouble fitting in, partly because of her early upbringing but also because she wasn’t completely human.  Still, Ariane’s life has been okay, as long as she follows all of her father’s rules, designed to keep her safe.  Ten years later, Ariane is finally letting her emotions get the better of her and has decided to break the rules, which could have devastating consequences.  This was a good story with a definite science fiction bent.  This isn’t very hard science.  It reads a little more like a typical high school reality romance with a science fiction twist.  It is a good story that will probably have more girl appeal.
