"Sure to win over YA readers looking for a dangerous, dystopian adventure story" --Kirkus Reviews

"Gripping young adult dystopian novel; compelling conflicts; high stakes; powerful narrative; surprises keep coming; strong writing; page-turner; engaging characters; Readers will be hungry for the sequels."--BlueInk Review (starred review)

"Thomason's description of Thera's totalitarianism will make fans of Brave New World shiver... SCI, her fantasy corporation, has disturbing parallels to actual companies and regimes that claim to do good while harming people... The author deftly appeals to both romance-loving teens as well as those intrigued by young adults fighting the establishment."--Foreword Clarion Review, 4 stars 

daynight was a 2012 IndieFab Book of the Year Award Finalist.

Meet The Second Chance Institute (SCI): Earth's benevolent non-profit by day, Thera's totalitarian regime by night. Their motto: Because Everyone Deserves a Second Chance at Life(TM). Reality: the SCI subjects Second Chancers to strict controls and politically motivated science experiments like Cleaving--forced lifetime union between two people who have sex. Punishment for disobeying SCI edicts? Immediate Exile or death.

Meet Kira Donovan. Fiercely loyal, overly optimistic, and ensnared by the promise of a full-ride college scholarship, Kira signs the SCI Recruit contract to escape memories of a tragedy that left her boyfriend and friends dead.

Meet Blake Sundry. Bitter about being raised in Exile and his mother's death, Blake's been trained to infiltrate and destroy the SCI. Current barrier to success? His Recruit partner--Miss Goody Two Shoes Kira Donovan.

Meet Ethan Darcton. Born with a defective heart and resulting inferiority complex, Ethan's forced to do his SCI elite family's bidding. Cleave-worthy Kira Donovan catches his eye, but the presiding powers give defect-free Blake Sundry first dibs.

Full of competing agendas, romantic entanglements, humor, twists and turns, daynight is Megan Thomason's debut young adult dystopian novel and first in the daynight series.

Megan's fluent in sarcasm, could potentially benefit from a 12-step program for road rage, struggles with a Hot Tamales addiction, loves world travel & fast cars and hates paperwork & being an insomniac. --Questo testo si riferisce alla paperback edizione.

I just seem to have read this story a million times before. It just didn't work for me. I found it impossible to really get into...and finally gave up on it. IMHO.

I've always been interested to read YA dystopia novels because I think most often than not they have the key elements I look for in books: romance, adventure, (plenty of) twists and turns, and fantastic imagery. daynight met my expectations and more!

LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS. I'm not going to lie. What got me gripped was the instant attraction between Kira and Ethan. It was so genuine without going overboard turning to insta love... it's not like Ethan could do anything about it though, but I'm not about to spoil that part for you. Ethan... is it me or are hot guys named Ethan? Ha. Ethan seemed perfect right off the bat and I enjoyed their initial chemistry.

But then Blake came into the picture and I got confused as hell! Seriously. It's been a while since I've read a novel with a love triangle in it. If I remember correctly the last one's Twilight and I've read that years ago. But Megan Thomason just had to torture readers. She made two equally swoon-worthy male leads and I couldn't choose a "team." I really don't like the whole "I'm on Team ____" thing but at 60% I was all, "Is this the part where I choose teams?" I liked that even if they were polar opposites, I wasn't forced to like one over the other. You know how some books do that? That didn't happen here. Sure, some things were total deal breakers but it wasn't like they were out of character so I wasn't left frustrated.

All throughout the story Kira's relationship with both guys deepened as they experienced more in Thera and I really loved how they both became Kira's support system. I loved Kira's tender moments with Blake and they way she was able to loosen up and enjoy whenever she was with Ethan. Now before you get the wrong idea, she wasn't dating both of them at the same time. It's... complicated. But of course, you'll know when you read it. It's not a Bella complex. It's just all part of the bigger story.

THE BIGGER STORY. This is where the all the fun starts. Somehow just when I start feeling like I have the slightest idea how the story's going to turn out, a new development comes up. It's typical in dystopia stories to have an oppressive government that has to be overthrown. But I think what made the difference in daynight was the multifaceted story line, essentially all leading to the same cause. I think that contributed to the story's richness. There are so many twists and turns in daynight but it was quite enjoyable! Everything fit perfectly in the story line.

AND SHE WRITES LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW. This is actually what made me rate this book 5 stars. I really enjoyed Megan Thomason's writing style. If you read the author bio below, you'll see she's fluent in sarcasm and boy am I glad! I liked that the characters spoke like real people but I especially liked their sense of humor. Even the notorious Brad Darcton had his fair share of funny lines:

"And how often do parents get to catch their grown son having a sleepover with his female 'friend'? I just love those awkward situations, don't you?"

Aside from that, I loved that the story's written in three different POVs. It helped me understand the story and the characters better. I really liked the flashbacks. Even though some were quite long, they were described so vividly; no time or page is wasted. Furthermore, the entire world and government of Thera was explained and described gradually which I think was a good move. I think if Megan just dumped everything in one chapter, that would've been incredibly boring.

OVERALL. daynight is definitely a must read. It was quite long but if I wasn't so busy with school work I think I would've been able to finish it faster - it's that engaging! It's the right combination of romance in a dystopia setting written wonderfully in a well-paced, mindblowing story. I can't wait for the next book!

Daynight
YA science fiction/dystopian

This book had me gripped from the start. Being from my favourite genre, I happily jumped in and within a few chapters I was completely hooked. The chapters are written from the 3 main characters perspectives, which gives the reader greater insight into the storyline. Well written and incredibly descriptive, I was easily transported into Earth's sister planet, Thera. More and more details are slowly given as the story unfolds, giving the whole picture by the end. I couldn't decide between Ethan and Blake, and I'm sure there is so much more to come for that love triangle. Can't wait to continue reading this story, I'm sure it's going to be full of even more action.

4,0 su 5 stelle The end justifies the means
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 7 febbraio 2013

"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. (Genesis 1:3-5) If light is good, what does the dark bring?"

From the first moments of people's self-awareness, they began to wonder what is "beyond" and begin to forge stories and hopes of an afterlife, a world of second chances.

"daynight" by Megan Thomason has a little strange prologue, but it assures you about the existence of the second chance. Then, a linear beginning starts to grow so that you'll get to be on nettles. What's next? What's it gonna be? Who's good, who's bad and especially who is right and who isn't, what really matters?

What if this second chance is not as good as you hoped to be? What if the second chance world is a world of heaven and hell alike? In such a world, unwittingly awakens Kira, our heroine. A seemingly ideal society, where there's no material difference and everyone is happy bringing their own voluntary contributions. The problems arise when good intentions are tainted by lust for power, the ideals of racial purity and the use of genetic selection. Of course, the point of view always matters. How far can you push it up, where "the end justifies the means"?

"Everyone starts at neutral and ascends towards inclusion in the `Grand Council' through compliance, and descends towards Exile through disobedience, a typical carrot and stick system."

Kira's qualities are obvious and I loved her from the start. Central pawn in a game that she has no control over and where any opposition has serious consequences, Kira is trying to survive and to save those she loves. And because I brought up love, I must tell you that there is a triangle. I warn you not to choose a favorite! The action is so complex, there are so many secrets and variables, the people involved are so determined or so tied up about what they consider their imperative, that twists occur at every step and love seems to complicate everything. Apparently the boys are all different, born and raised in different environment, both have to face their fathers who use them to fulfill a specific purpose. If at first is only a mission or a revolt, the intimate struggle of the two "candidates" of what they must and what they really want to do is hard and requires sacrifices from both of them and from Kira. Some sacrifices will be made, for others will be too late. The author entwines very well the characters' feelings, their love story with the social realities and battles that will have a devastating impact on it.

""By the way, it's not fake to me anymore. I'm falling for you, Kira." Then he lets go and the river swiftly carries him away."

By subtle clues in chapters' mottos, by alternating the narrator and by flashbacks, the author will outline the full picture of the evolution of the characters feelings and their reasons for what they decide.

In general book's note the end is one unexpected. It may not be one to please everyone, but it certainly is a good one.

I took the risk to oblige myself to write about a book I didn't read yet, and I won. What did I win? Let's see: the pleasure of an alert action, full of surprises, feelings, disappointments, with a well-placed humor, small consolation and hope for another kind of second chance.

"Kira's tirade continues for a few minutes and my brain hurts from her psychoanalysis. Man I'm so happy I'm not a chick. They think way too much and over complicate everything."

Conclusion: read immediately this book!
Thank you Megan Thomason! I received the book (free) for a honest review as part of Book Tour

I was gripped to daynight from the start and really liked the idea behind it. I liked that way the author told the story from the three main characters point of view, it made it really interesting and allowed you to stay ahead of characters themselves.

If you like Young Adult or Dystopian books, I highly recommend daynight. Really looking forward to reading the second book later on this year.
