Goodreads Blurb
Should she live or die? You decide An adored celebrity has been killed. Sixteen-year-old Martha Honeydew was found holding a gun, standing over the body.Now Justice must prevail.
The general public will decide whether Martha is innocent or guilty by viewing daily episodes of the hugely popular TV show Death is Justice, the only TV show that gives the power of life and death decisions - all for the price of a phone call.
Martha has admitted to the crime. But is she guilty? Or is reality sometimes more complicated than the images we are shown on TV?
Thoughts
I was quite surprised by how quickly this book pulled me in, I found the characters to be so well written, and you just fell in love with the majority of the main characters.I loved Martha Honeydew, I thought she was such a strong character, but I also loved Isaac, and Eve, and Mrs B. It is very rare for a book in my opinion where you fall in love with the majority of the main characters.
You really feel for all these people's stories, and the twist at the end between Martha and Jackson Paige (the man she has allegedly killed) you just don't expect it.
I also think this story is a bit of a warning, we have become a society that watches so much reality TV with phone voting that it is scary when deciding a persons life depends on who can afford to phone to pay for the vote.
The idea was somewhat sound but you should have one vote per person, not a vote for who can afford it, this then exploits the system.
Overall a great story and I can't wait to get started on the next book in the series.
