Chloe’s Kingdom

CHLOE’S KINGDOM is an intriguing young-adult, science-fiction novel about Chloe Espinoza, a petty thief. Her once privileged life in the Gardens and the only life she had known is cut short by the tragic death of her parents, condemning her to live in the dreaded place known as Honeycombs. When she is offered a heist that would mark her sweet return to her lavish apartment back in the Gardens and improve her economic standards hastily, Chloe is more than pleased to accept it. The Burrito heist appeared bulletproof on paper, but a lot lay at stake if she and her crew got caught. Populated by a remarkable cast of characters, author Gregory Michael’s atmospheric debut makes for a dizzying combination of suspense, built up by the heady hustle to succeed and the uncertainty of the protagonist in getting away with the crime. It’s perfect for heist thriller enthusiasts who enjoy an added dash of science fiction elements.
