Blog Tour & Review ~ Over The Wall by Claire O'Connor

From the clutches of the cult she was born into, Keziah emerges seeking true freedom, but will she ever succeed?

Surrounded by an extended family of playful children and nurturing women, Keziah never imagined life would change so drastically. By the age of 16, she is expected to live her life as an adult member of The Genus. By the age of 19, she is expected to marry cult leader Sy, prompting her to plot escape over the wall. When she reaches the outside world, however, what awaits her is not what she thought. Although modern life has challenges, Keziah tries her best to adjust.

Despite warnings, she tracks down Abe, a childhood friend and fellow escapee. Why did he go his own way on the side of the wall? No one wants to talk about it. She is determined to find out the truth. Keziah's journey unravels complexities, fuelling determination with each trial.

The initial instalment of the Over The Wall trilogy weaves escapism and liberation into a battle against The Genus.

I really enjoyed this book, it kept me guessing where it was going. I was asking a lot of questions as we were going along; Was it really as simple as it seemed? Was Keziah walking from one cult into another? Who can she actually trust?

I really like our main character Keziah and thought it was quite heartbreaking when she was getting to grips with living in the outside world and learning how to make toast using a toaster and catch the bus etc by herself. I thought it was really lovely watching her grow.

I wasn't quite expecting what happened to happen but as you may have guessed from my questions, I wasn't really sure what was going to happen! I think I enjoyed the ending even more as I know that there is going to be a book two and I'm looking forward to finding out more! You can grab a copy here #Aff
