*Riot* by Sarah Mussi is a gripping and fast-paced YA thriller that explores themes of rebellion, social justice, and the power of youth. Set in a near-future dystopian society, the story follows the protagonist, Chandra, as she becomes involved in an underground movement protesting against oppressive government control. The novel delves into issues of activism, societal unrest, and the choices young people make when fighting for change.

Mussi’s writing is sharp and engaging, creating a tense atmosphere filled with high stakes and action. The characters are strong and complex, and their personal struggles add depth to the narrative. While the book’s exploration of rebellion and resistance is compelling, the pacing can sometimes feel rushed, but the overall impact of the story is powerful. *Riot* will resonate with readers who enjoy stories about resistance and the impact of political and social movements.

I got accepted to review this book years ago, but unfortunately never got around to reading it. Apologies for this.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this book. I didn't finish it as it was too realistic for me with what's going on. I might re-visit it in the future.

Thank you so much to net galley for sending me a copy of this book. I wasn’t really expecting to enjoy it all that much but I was so excited to read this book. I was a little disappointed that I didn’t enjoy it very much

Eve aka Tia is a hacktivist/ the daughter of a British Minister pushing through a draconian plan: to combat overpopulation, he wants poor young people ‘snipped.’ The young people, and the not so young, don’t care for this idea, and engage in disobedience, which is both civil and uncivil. But the government and its spies, drones and other technology are the real problem. When Eve meets Cobain and keeps needing his help and rescue, this started to get tedious. When it became a Romance novel, I would have thrown it across the room, was I not reading on an electronic device. Read on Kindle, received from Netgalley for a review. Thanks NetGalley!
