Heart’s Prey by Natalina Reis – Review by Jenni Bishop

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heart’s Prey by Natalina Reis is a dystopian fantasy story. This story will keep you intrigued and the pages turning. I loved the main characters and how even in the midst of the annihilation of the world as they know it they were able to adapt and find happiness. The storyline is different and kept you on your toes and you can picture their trials and tribulations because of Natalina’s writing. In a world that was full of discrimination and segregation and controlled with lies, now becomes one of a fight for their survival and putting that discrimination aside. I am interested to read what Natalina writes next.

Heart’s Prey is a great read from Natalina Reis. I have read a few of Ms. Reis’s books now and she never fails to deliver a story that captivates my attention from beginning to end. This book has a bit of a dystopian feel to it and is a little different from some of her other books I have read. Wonderfully original and beautifully written this Young Adults/New Adults book is a forbidden romance story that gives us an up close and personal look at castes/classes, prejudices, racism, genetic engineering, action, love, friendship, romance, drama, and more.
I enjoyed getting to know Jia and Cees- and following them through their story. They are endearing and well-developed characters who have complex personalities and complicated lives. They live in a world that was destroyed, where things they believed may not be true. Genetically engineered beasts now roam, and danger is an ever-present threat. They are determined to find somewhere safe where they can live. With secrets revealed, their survival at stake, danger around every corner, prejudices, battling long held traditions and beliefs- will they find everything they hope for?
This is quite and intriguing and thought-provoking story that I found to be an unexpected surprise. I don’t really know what I was expecting when I started, but I did know that Ms. Reis would tell great story, which she did- I just didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I have.

Thank you, Ms. Reis!
