The Fast and the Furious gets a sci-fi twist in this action-packed debut. On corporately controlled Castra, rally racing is a high stakes game that seventeen-year-old Phoebe Van Zant knows all too well. Phee’s legendary racer father disappeared mysteriously, but that hasn't stopped her from speeding headlong into trouble. When she and her best friend, Bear, attract the attention of Charles Benroyal, they are blackmailed into racing for Benroyal Corp, a company that represents everything Phee detests. Worse, Phee risks losing Bear as she falls for Cash, her daring new teammate. But when she discovers that Benroyal is controlling more than a corporation, Phee realizes she has a much bigger role in Castra’s future than she could ever have imagined. It's up to Phee to take Benroyal down. But even with the help of her team, can a street-rat destroy an empire?


This book had me at The Fast & the Furious meets sci-fi. I love it when books have something I've not read about before in YA books. Bring on the race, romance, and excitement of this new debut!

Before I share the blurb author Antony John gave for Tracked, I want to talk about the cover for just a moment. I am in love with this cover. I don't know how many times I've seen it, but I somehow never picked up on the fact there are headlights that are reflecting on the emblem in the center of the cover. How cool is that!?! I love it! Okay, now you can read Antony's glowing blurb for Jenny's debut. 

Here's the blurb, from Elemental author Antony John:
"Dazzlingly imaginative and whip-smart, TRACKED is pure adrenaline rush. Buckle up!"

And the teaser excerpt, from Chapter Eleven: 
My mind slips into a zone—I wonder if my father felt this same rush, driving the circuit. Even as I roar down this empty track, I can almost visualize the blur of a hundred thousand rally fans, screaming from the stands. I hear the snarl of engines on all sides. I feel the sweatbox heat of the three hundredth lap.
One last turn. Straight shot. I go for one more lap. Then two. Three. Faster. This time, I’ll make this rig scream. My hand slams against the throttle deck and I find the triggers.
Ready.
Push.
GO.

Whoa. The bursts are like nothing I’ve ever felt. The car runs pretty tight, but only a death grip on the wheel keeps me from spinning out of control. I’m banking dangerously close to the wall and it’s time to start praying.
Please. Please. Hold on. Yes.
My tires squeal but valiantly grip the track. I’ve managed to keep it together and make the next straightaway. My heart pounds and this glorious feeling builds and expands, radiating from the fist-sized knot in my core, until I’m as weightless as laughter. I smile, because this is what I was made for. This moment. Right or wrong, this is my inheritance.
