TheWriteReads Blog Tour Spotlight | Calm | By S J Baker
Dear Bookbugs,
In today’s TheWriteReads blog tour spotlight, we have “Calm” by S J Baker.
Synopsis :
In this enthralling dystopian YA thriller where emotions become weapons, the fight for humanity’s true essence takes centre stage.
In a near-future Britain, society’s calm facade conceals a sinister the state maintains its control by meddling with the nation’s water supply. The result? A population lulled into apathy. Lulled, apart from a courageous few known as the Resistors.
New Resistors, Owyn, a young black man, and Tiegan, a young white woman, are pulled into a fierce quest for freedom. Their individual journeys are spurred on by the promise of an organized Resistance. As their paths converge, they ignite a chain of events that will shake the foundations of Britain’s oppressive regime. One thing is the price of freedom is higher than they ever imagined.
I am a fan of dystopian thrillers and only a lack of time and schedule kept me away from signing up for a review for this blog tour. But I am adding it to my TBR as it have some Brave New World vibes which is also still on my never ending TBR list. If you enjoy dystopian thriller, give this one a try.
About the Author
S.J. Baker teaches English in a secondary school in Hull, where she does her best to pass on her own love for reading and writing to her students. Books have always loomed large in Ms. Baker’s life, so it was perhaps inevitable that after completing a degree in English Literature at Cambridge she should train as a teacher and spend her career sharing her love of story-telling with young people. Reading aloud to her own children as they grew up confirmed her in the belief that we learn much about life and how to live well from the books that we read. She lives in East Yorkshire with her husband and two exuberant black Labradors.
Happy Reading Everyone!!
