Blurb from Goodreads:
As one of the last Untamed humans left in the world, Seven’s life has
always been controlled by tight rules. Stay away from the Enhanced.
Don’t question your leader. And, most importantly, never switch sides-
-because once you’re Enhanced there’s no going back. Even if you
have become the perfect human being.

But after a disastrous raid on an Enhanced city, Seven soon finds
herself in her enemy’s power. Realizing it’s only a matter of time

two very different outcomes.

My Review:
*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Thanks to Spells & Stars Books and NetGalley*
Seven is one of the few Untamed humans left. The Enhanced use
chemical augmenters to change their moods and looks. The augmenters
are addictive and once you become Enhanced there's no going back.
When a raid goes wrong Seven finds herself in the grasp of the Enhanced.
She manages to escape but Seven is a powerful Seer and the Enhanced will
fight to get her back.
Can Seven resist the urge to drink more augmenters?
Will Seven turn her back on the Untamed?
I have mixed feelings about Untamed.
Until around sixty or seventy percent of the way through I was enjoying the
book, but then I found myself losing interest and becoming annoyed with the
characters.
Seven was an okay protagonist. I felt sorry for her but there were times where
I also found her frustrating.
There weren't any characters that stood out for me. I didn't like Corin. He was
hot and cold with Seven and there were times where he was horrible to her and
didn't apologise.
The plot was okay. There was a twist that I spotted a mile away. I lost interest
towards the end and I'm disappointed that I didn't enjoy this more.
The writing style wasn't one of my favourites. I thought some of the sentences were
worded oddly.
Overall this was an okay read.
