Summary
Lee Urban’s search for truth could destroy everything.
After narrowly surviving several attempts on her life, Lee Urban retreats into hiding, seeking refuge with her family for the Lunar New Year. But the relaxing holiday turns into a heist when someone crashes the party with intel on the hybrid’s identity.
Driven by desperation, Urban accepts a position within the elite Dragons AI team, a high-stakes gamble that will propel her into the heart of the turbulent West. As she follows the elusive clues to the hybrid, the journey takes her closer to uncovering the truths about her own origins and the odd circumstances surrounding her adoption.
Tensions between the Enhanced and Naturals grow increasingly violent and the Western Federation teeters on the brink of civil war. Urban’s choices threaten to tear her family apart, and the secrets she unearths just might shatter the delicate balance of society.

My Review
HYBRID takes readers into a world full of genetic changes and a social system of those who are enhanced by such changes and those who are not. It's a complex system and interesting in all its nuances. The heroine seeks someone as well as answers to her past, and in so doing continues to find herself in danger. Recommended to all sci-fi fans.
I liked all the characters in this story, particularly Urban. She's just a regular, girl-next-door college student who is trying to do her best in school, hide her lack of enhancements, and survive. She's in hiding and travelling in this second book and I enjoyed seeing her character continue to develop as the story goes. I also liked her relationships with those around her, especially her sister, boyfriends and roommates.
The plot and secrets have been developing since the first book and those continue here in book two. Urban's path looks a bit different here as the story doesn't carry out as much at college. A feeling of danger underlies the story from beginning to end. It's a steadily paced story, but one that maintains a constant tension so that readers keep turning pages to find out what will happen next.
In the end, was it what I wished for? This was an overall solid second book in this series with plenty of clues leading to the next book. Readers will enjoy the likable characters, engaging plot, and an interesting sci-fi world.
