Review:
The Registration is the first book I have read by the new to me author, Madison Lawson. I admired her talent to come up with an outrageous plot and able to make into a believable storyline. I was intrigued with Lynell from the start. She gets involved with quite the situation and mystery to find out who wants her gone, as well as, who she can trust. I admired her bravery, courage, and determination to survive. This was a thrilling ride to go on. There were a lot of events that I could not have predicted. The many twists and turns had my head spinning. There was a lot of action packed danger and full of adventure. I never knew what could possibly happen next. This was one of those books that constantly asking myself if the impossible could actually could one day be a real possibility. It was one I had a hard time putting down until I had the whole book read in one sitting. It will be placed among my favorite read of the year.
I am giving The Registration five plus stars. I believe readers and fans of science fiction thrillers would be interested in reading it. I highly recommend it. I would love to see what other upcoming books by Madison Lawson will be releasing.
I received a digital copy of The Registration from the publisher but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
