Embark on an electrifying odyssey into the shadowy heart of Los Angeles City Center, where the facade of utopia hides sinister secrets. Ava Rhodes is about to shatter the illusion and plunge into a world of darkness and revelation. As she unearths the chilling destiny that awaits her and her fellow inhabitants, Ava's desperate flight to the Outside begins. But in the relentless pursuit that follows, Ava faces an agonizing choice: self-preservation or the salvation of her people.
In a relentless battle against the iron grip of control and oppression, Ava's journey becomes a symphony of rebellion, danger, and self-discovery.

The electrifying saga unfolds across four heart-pounding volumes, each a riveting chapter in Ava's quest for truth and freedom. Join her as she navigates the treacherous depths of a dystopian realm, where the line between hero and villain blurs, and the fate of an entire city rests in her hands. Will Ava rise to the challenge, or will she succumb to the darkness that lurks within? The answers await in this pulse-pounding, suspense-laden series that will leave you breathless and begging for more.

Author Simone Pond is also known as Simone DeBlasio.

This story is decorated with familiar things, and at its heart contains thrilling characters and heroic journeys. - Revolution SF

The power of this novel actually comes from the world building and the action." - Smart Girls Love Sci-fi

The revelations before the conclusion are properly shocking and quite insidious. - SF Crowsnest

˃˃˃ Here's what readers are saying:
- Looking for a new page turner? My eyes are burning because I couldn't put it down. I skipped meals, sleep, yoga, I HAD to finish it.

- A friend turned me on to this book, and I couldn't be happier she did. I usually take a long time to finish a book, but blew through The City Center in 2 days. Great story with really good writing. I highly recommend this book.

- Fantastic first book in what I hope is a long series. I thoroughly enjoyed this imaginative journey. Ms. Pond struck a great balance between story and character development. Can't wait for more!

- You had me up reading much later than I wanted to stay up last night.

- You will whip through this book, it is a fast and easy read, and Ava and other characters are fully imagined and instantly enthralling. Can't wait for the next one (there HAS to be a next one, right?!?).

- I just finished 'The City Center' and I loved it. I started it on Sunday, brought it to work with me on Monday to read during my lunch hour and finished it Monday night. I was quickly caught up in the characters and had a hard time putting it down until I knew how everything played out. I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment in the series!

THE CITY CENTER IS A GOLD MEDAL WINNER OF DYSTOPIAN FICTION

4,0 su 5 stelle An entertaining read
Recensito in Canada il 15 giugno 2017

An overall entertaining read, for fans of dystopian works. Much shorter than I would have liked, and the author didn't flesh matters out in very much depth, but the world-building was an interesting take on the pitfalls and eventual downfall of modern society. Noticeably a little heavy-handed when it comes to imagery, religious themes and rhetoric, but it wasn't unexpected.

Before I begin, for me a 5-star book is reserved for books that are nearly perfect. Examples for me in sci-fi include 1984, Anthem, the Foundation Trilogy. 3-stars are for flawed books that are still somewhat readable - examples include much of what gets released through self-publishing. Anything less is not worth reviewing.

In "The City Center" Simone Pond blends an interesting and satisfying brew made up of ingredients from a wide range of sources including Huxley, Orwell, Meyers, Collins, and Istvan Nemere. But this well-written and edited book takes these elements and turns them into something new. Especially noteworthy is her depiction of a strong-willed heroine who knows herself and displays leadership skills while still being uncertain about her emotions and feelings.

But the book suffers from implausibility at its core: the "elite" are given power not just over the clueless population of City Center, but over history as well, which belies a belief in conspiracy theories which are just patently false. Good or evil, government is by consent of the governed. While certainly "the elite" in our society may share some beliefs as those found in the book, there is no way they could perpetrate the scam they pull off in this book without earlier pushback from "the outsiders."

Further, while reference is made to a national economy, plague, and war; it is not demonstrated how this was pulled off nationwide nor how it impacted the global economy. Also, the City Center project is cast as Morray's personal pet project for Los Angeles. What influence did he have on Seattle and Denver (two cities referred to near the end)?

For most of the book Pond overcomes these flaws through compelling characters, good dialogue and well-written action. At the conclusion however she ties things up too neatly and quickly, which weakens the impact of the villain's response at the end of the story. The book should have ended at that point with the rest left for a follow-up novel, which it seems was in the works when this was published.

The City Center is a 4-star page-turner that is definitely worth the read.

4,0 su 5 stelle Wie die Zukunft sein könnte
Recensito in Germania il 19 novembre 2014

Am Anfang las sich das Buch wie Die Tribute von Panem. Irgendwie kam mir das alles zu bekannt vor, auch wenn die Umstände anderes sind. Ich habe mir einfach gedacht - nur ein Abklatsch. Mit der Zeit änderte es sich aber, auch wenn einige Ähnlichkeiten immer noch vorhanden sind - weibliche Hauptrolle, eine Liebesgeschichte, Kämpfen ums Leben. Andererseits sind dies Themen, die schon ziemlich universal sind und daher man es dem Buch nicht ganz so ankreiden kann.
Es las sich gut, die Welt ist plausibel dargestellt, die Zusammenhänge überzeugen. Man kann sich in Ava reinversetzen, aber andererseits ist sie auch wie man sein will und es nicht immer ist - stark, mutig, kommt immer auf Ideen. Deswegen ist sie schon eine Inspiration für Jugendliche.
Sprachlich angenehm, man muss schon Englisch können, aber man fühlt sich nicht überfordert.
Es macht Spass.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Very different from anything I’ve read. And I read a lot. Although I think it should have been longer with more detail and personalities.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 20 maggio 2015

I enjoyed this book and the dystopian world that the author created. The way the population are contained and controlled is different and the idea of loading a conscience onto a system etc was something new to me in dystopias and an interesting idea. Power to continue but a weakness in many ways too.

Ava is a strong main character, although I wish she would wear shoes more often! I did feel the ending came too soon and it would have been interesting to learn more about Joseph, and Ava's friends.
