Anomaly is a masterpiece! The twists and turns kept me guessing and the plot was perfectly orchestrated. I recommend this book to all YA lovers! I noticed most reviews claim that this book preaches too much. I am a christian and I thought this book had the perfect balance of God and suspense.
If you aren't a christian, read this book with the audience in mind. It wasn't written to preach but to speak to us who believe. Keep writing Krista McGee! I loved it!

Anomaly Krista McGee Books Reviews

Truth be told, as much as I love Jesus, I don't usually read a lot of Christian fiction. I find it a little contrived and a whole lot cheesy--at times. There are a few exceptions, and I've reviewed some of those exceptions on here.

My newest exception? Anomaly.
Now, before you decide to ignore this one because of its "religious" undertones, please let me remind you I don't normally do Christian books!
But, this one has such an intriguing story that the message just serves as the cherry on top of the fantastic apocalyptic-sundae.

The characters are intense yet relatable, the setting is mysterious and foreboding. The main character, Thalli, seems to be up a creek without a paddle, so-to-speak, for most of the story, yet there's a beauty in the hopelessness BECAUSE of its inspirational message.

Christianity not for you?

Well, I firmly believe you can still enjoy this tale. While I believe in its message whole-heartedly, I also believe that for those that aren't Jesus-inclined, Ms. McGee created a world that will still leave you wanting to know more. Questioning how everything will come together. Wanting to know a little more about the belief-system that drives these individuals into thinking they can survive the impossible.

I think you'll also be wanting to see more of the Thalli-Berk romance. Because I have a feeling that it's just the beginning for these two.

Romance, suspense, a uniquely wholesome message? What's not to love?!
There was a nuclear war. The Scientists were the only people who survived it. They were sure emotions were the reason for it, so they carefully constructed their new world to be emotionless. Just productive.

But Thalli is an anomaly. She FEELS. And if her secret is revealed she will be annihilated...

I loved Anomaly! Krista McGee is a brilliant author. The story world was well constructed, the plot twists in this book completely unpredictable (and numerous).That made the story so exciting. I just get used to one reality and then Thalli's world is turned inside out again. Both Thalli and Berk are characters I loved getting to know.

Generally, I don't read futuristic books, but Anomaly proves that they can be great. I recommend this to all Christian teens and adults who want something that's out of this world, but still Christ-based.
Scientists have decided that emotions are the reason humans had this destructive nuclear war and have decided to get rid of them all together. All humans now have no emotions, except for the rare "Anomaly". Our main character, Thalia, is one of these anomalies so she can feel emotions. I thought that this was a pretty interesting concept for a dystopian so I was really excited to pick this up.

I also think that it's important before you go into reading this book is that it does have some religious elements. Originally I went into this not knowing this, then I read some reviews after buying this mentioning it. There are a bunch of negative reviews for this reason. Now I am not a super religious person, personally, but I don't think that these parts took away for the story. I was able to enjoy the book anyways. If you really are uncomfortable with reading something with any religious elements, then I would not recommend this. If you don't mind it, then I would recommend because this still delivers on an entertaining dystopian. So I don't really think this took away from the story or was too overbearing. Personally, I thought it brought in a unique and interesting aspect for a dystopian; since I've never read another dystopian that blended in some of these elements along with the futuristic world.

As for the characters I didn't really think Thalia was the strongest main character, but it was really interesting to see her grow as the story went on. The love interest wasn't my favorite as a person, but I enjoy seeing their relationship grow. They are both new to feeling love, so it was really fun to watch their relationship grow as well.

Overall I thought that the author brought in some really nice ideas. I really enjoyed reading this. There were some unexpected twists in there, and I thought it was pretty unique. Hopefully I'll continue on with the series soon! I'm actually really interested in what will happen next! I might not recommend to everyone, but if you're looking for a unique dystopian or a different read, then I'd definitely say check this out.
