I'm giving up on this one. I'm about 35% of the way into it and I'm just not enjoying it, and have plenty of other books available. It started out OK, but just developed into a story I didn't care about. For what I've read, I'd give it about 3 stars. But I won't put a rating on the book since I haven't finished it.

Goodreads Synopsis:
Micah Caida's stunning debut young adult book TIME TRAP is like nothing before it, according to early readers.
Time Trap, book one in the Red Moon series
Her memory is blank.
Her future's in question.
Her power is dangerous.
Waking up in an unknown world, Rayen learns only that she's seventeen and is hunted by a sentient beast. Terrified that she may never learn who she really is or find her way back to her home, she's captured in a land that is at times familiar even if the people and the structures seem alien. When local law enforcement delivers her to a private school, she's labeled as a Native American runaway, and Rayen discovers a secret with deadly repercussions. Forced into an unlikely alliance with a computer savvy street punk and a gifted oddball girl to save their world - and the future - Rayen finds the key to an identity that no person would want.

My Review:
Honestly I didn't like this book, up until about 30% of the way through. I thought it was confusing, the characters didn't have much life, and I didn't know what to expect for the remaining part of the book. Then something changed. I was so sucked into the story that I didn't realize how much of the book I had actually read. The characters became more interesting, and the story started taking turns I didn't expect. I wasn't bored anymore, I couldn't put it down!
Rayen wakes up in a desert, with amnesia. A ghost tells her that she's seventeen, her name is Rayen, and that she's allergic to peanuts. She doesn't understand the world around her, and she really has a hard time. She gets arrested and taken to a boarding school, and some of the kids in the school are really rude to her, they think she's a foster child turned criminal, and they're determined to figure her out. The only problem is, what could they find out? She doesn't know anything about herself.
The story itself is a little slow at first, but if you give it a chance, I'm sure you'll feel the same as I do. This is an action packed exciting novel in what I imagine must look like a dr. seuss story type world of tomorrow. Any question I had reading this, were pretty much answered at the end. The characters although a little annoying at first are great once you get to know them a little better. It's unlike anything I've read before, and that's a good thing. I don't want to spoil any part of the story for anyone so I'll end it at that. Definitely check it out! I got it for free on amazon.

Thanks for reading! See this and more up on my blog.
