"A dazzling, thought-provoking vision of the future that raises the question: Is safety worth the sacrifice of freedom?" --Booklist "The Dark Intercept grabbed me from the first page and shook me until the last. A riveting and suspenseful story of love, risk, and betrayal." --EMMY LAYBOURNE, author of Berserker, Sweet, and the Monument 14 trilogy "A chilling and thought-provoking look at the power of weaponized emotion." --MELISSA LANDERS, author of the Alienated trilogy "Both cautionary and hopeful--a rare, literary feat." --GENNIFER ALBIN, New York Times bestselling author of the Crewel World trilogy "A stormy, spine-tingling ride in which everything remembered and once felt in your life can be used against you." --BLUE BALLIETT, author of Chasing Vermeer "The Dark Intercept goes straight to the heart of why privacy matters in today's world. Keller has written an accessible coming-of-age adventure where the teenage protagonist comes to understand the consequences of living in a society that monitors everyone's emotions, including her own." --MICHAEL C. ROBINSON, Chair of the American Library Association Intellectual Freedom Committee's Privacy Subcommittee "Julia Keller writes so viscerally that she takes the readers with her into the worlds she has created. The Intercept is a fascinating springboard which she uses to explore the importance of feelings, and how they affect our lives and choices." --BETSY FRASER, Selector, Calgary Public Library (Alberta, Canada), and 2016 YALSA/ABC-CLIO/Greenwood Service to Young Adults Achievement Award-winner
