Blurb from Goodreads:
Alina
Chase has spent her entire life in confinement. With the science of
soul-printing now a reality, she is 'protected' for her own safety – and the
safety of others – because her soul has done terrible things ... or so she's
told. When Alina finally breaks out of prison, helped by a group of people with
unclear motives, she begins to uncover clues left by her past life that only
she can decipher. And she may not be as innocent as she once believed. Can
Alina change her future, or is she fated to repeat her past and face the
consequences?
My Review:

3/5 stars
Soulprinting
means that spinal fluid can be used to see who people were in their prior
reincarnation and as a result Alina Chase has spent her life trapped on an
island because of who she was in a previous life – a criminal called June who
hacked into the soulprint database.
At
seventeen, Alina has dreamed of escaping for years and one day it finally
happens – a group of people break her out. Can Alina trust her rescuers? Will
she ever truly be free? Was June really the villain people saw her as?
Soulprinting
is a very intriguing idea and you could tell that the author had thought about
it in great detail. I liked Alina and felt sorry for her – she didn’t know her
parents and all she wanted was to live her life in peace but the shadow of June
was constantly hanging over her. There was some romance in this but it didn’t
feel that real to me. The plot was okay but I did see something coming early
on. It did feel like the middle dragged a bit but the writing style was easy to
read and engaging.
Overall
this was an interesting read that I enjoyed.
