The Scarlet Letter meets Minority Report in bestselling author Sophie Jordan's chilling new novel about a teenage girl who is ostracized when her genetic test proves she's destined to become a murderer.
When Davy Hamilton's tests come back positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome (HTS)-aka the kill gene-she loses everything. Her boyfriend ditches her, her parents are scared of her, and she can forget about her bright future at Juilliard. Davy doesn't feel any different, but genes don't lie. One day she will kill someone.
Only Sean, a fellow HTS carrier, can relate to her new life. Davy wants to trust him; maybe he's not as dangerous as he seems. Or maybe Davy is just as deadly.
The first in a two-book series, Uninvited tackles intriguing questions about free will, identity, and human nature. Steeped in New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan's trademark mix of gripping action and breathless romance, this suspenseful tale is perfect for fans of James Patterson, Michelle Hodkin, and Lisa McMann

In the beginning Davy was a character who had her head in
the clouds, she was happy with where she was, her friends, her boyfriend, her
options, she was a prodigy after all. She's popular, and likable. She's kind of
a fuzzy character though, neither here or there. She's nice but not too nice,
she's pretty, but not too pretty, she's not mean, she's modest but knows her
talents. She's also rich, and just so, she's a little judgemental. She doesn't
know herself. But testing positive for the Killer gene changed that. At first,
she's in denial that anything will change. and then it changes, slowly at
first, and then all at once and there's no control. The girl who never thought
or questioned anything, accepted things the way they were...she's gone.
