Summary

First the floods consumed the Earth.

Then the Syndicate took everything from me.

My childhood, my first love — my humanity.

Before I was born, the rising oceans consumed the last land on Earth. All I’ve ever known is a fight for survival. But the Syndicate wants to change this, genetically adapting children to fit this harsh new world — no matter how many lives are sacrificed in the process.

When little, I was ripped from my home to take part in the Syndicate's cruel experiments. But I broke free. Now, at the age of 17, I'm hunted for my unique ability to thrive beneath the ocean's depths, but also because I rescue others held captive by the Syndicate.

Every day is a predictable struggle, the same watery grave of fears. Everything changes on a routine patrol of a Syndicate vessel, however, when I stumble across two people — a highly sought-after prisoner who was designed to be more powerful than myself and a young man from my past, one my heart never forgot.

These two ghosts from my past will most likely jeopardize all the work I’ve achieved against the Syndicate. But I can’t leave them behind. Even if I lose everything in saving them, including my very life.

Reckless is a dystopian adventure packed with action, romance, and wonder. Listeners who enjoyed The Lunar Chronicles and Red Queen will love this epic young adult series.

Note: Reckless is a re-brand of the novel, NeverSea with improved editing and adjusted character naming.

Good start to a series

I have read a few Jenetta Penner books. This one is good with a good story. I do prefer some of her other books but the narrators are very good at bringing the story to life.
A world where there is barely any land. Where scientist modify humans to survive but should they?

A dazzling adventure

This was a very enjoyable listen. The whole storyline was exciting. The author made me feel like I was right there with the characters. Everything was so easy to visualize as I listened.
The narrators did a wonderful job. I am looking forward to listening to the next book in this series.

Reckless review

I love audio books as stories come alive. This is a teen adventure story which is completely different and is very interesting... I think my 10 year old granddaughter would enjoy it..

Really interesting

I received a free audio copy of this book directly from the author for an honest review.

This has been a really interesting fast paced dystopian world full of interesting characters. Really kept me hooked from the beginning. The description of this flooded world and each civilisation was done well and the character development kept me fully engaged with the story. Definitely will look to read the next book in future.

A good listen for young people

After finishing the first book I felt sceptical about this one. I think that the story was great but some good opportunities for character development was missed by focusing on a very boring love angle. I really wish that the whole fantasy world was just a bit more developed. However I can see why people would enjoy it. I think maybe it was just a bit young and I would recommend it to my younger sister.
