I've lit a fuse and I'm waiting for the explosion.  All her life, sixteen-year-old Neva has lived in Homeland, completely cut off from the rest of the world.

All her life, she has been told everything beyond is an unlivable wasteland.  All this time, the government has fed her nothing but lies.  Now Neva keeps a tattered notebook under her mattress and fills it with the names of the Missing, who has vanished with no explanation,

Now, she and her best friend, Sanna, plan a "dark party" to recruit member for their underground rebellion..  The group begins to uncover horrifying truths.  But can Neva break through the secrecy that has shrouded her whole lie?  Or will she and her friends become part of the Missing?

Romance, politics, and faith converge in this suspenseful and thought-provoking novel from talented debut author Sara Grant



Dark Parties is a Dystopian novel written by Sara Grant.  Neva and Senna are best friends in a world that is basically a huge protected bubble.  The government has control over every thing and the young girls in the society are beloved because they are basically baby makers.  People are going missing (including Neva's beloved grandma)  and Neva wants to know how you can go missing in a bubble.  Her grandma always told her their was life outside of the bubble.  Neva is on a sex ban vow and holds a dark party to start a rebellion.  Brayden, Sanna's boyfriend kisses Neva during the dark party and Neva can't stop thinking about him after that.  The first half of the book was really slow to me.  I actually out it down and read 2 other books before I picked it back up and finished, but I'm glad I did.  Not sure if this is going to be a series, but I couldn't stand the ending.My review::
