The first book in the bestselling and multi award-winning SLATED trilogy.
Kyla's memory has been erased,
her personality wiped blank,
her memories lost for ever.
She's been Slated.
The government claims she was a terrorist, and that they are giving her a second chance - as long as she plays by their rules. But echoes of the past whisper in Kyla's mind. Someone is lying to her, and nothing is as it seems. Who can she trust in her search for the truth?

A gripping dystopian debut. * Bookseller * "Everything I have been looking for in a book: suspense, mind-bending mystery, romance and just the right amount of science fiction." * lyndsaycummingsblog.blogspot.com * "Sophisticated, intelligent, thought-provoking. Watch out Suzanne Collins and Sophie McKenzie, there's a new writer in town." * talltalesandshortstories.blogspot.com * "An original and haunting psychological thriller. I was gripped from the first page and can't wait to read more." * Julie Bertagna, author of the Exodus trilogy * "Gripping, chilling and all too real. An unputdownable thriller." * L.A. Weatherly, author of Angel. * A beautiful, intriguing puzzle revealed piece by dark and sinister piece. * Sara Grant, author of Dark Parties. * A thrilling futuristic drama... compelling and well written. * Bucks Herald * There is an Orwellian harshness about this dystopia that makes for disturbing and provocative reading. **** * Books For Keeps * A tense psychological thriller that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. * Daily Record * A terrific read which doesn't give up its secrets lightly. From the first pages it grips. Highly recommended. * School Librarian * Terry writes with a gripping and exciting fresh voice which makes compulsive reading. * Carousel *More details

Person
Teri Terry's award-winning debut trilogy - Slated, Fractured and Shattered - established her as the queen of the teen thriller. Teri is also the author of Mind Games and Book of Lies, and her most recent work is the Dark Matter trilogy. Her books have been translated into sixteen languages and have won many prizes at home and abroad.
Teri Terry has lived in France, Canada, Australia and England at more addresses than she can count, acquiring four degrees, a selection of passports and an unusual name along the way. Past careers have included scientist, lawyer, optometrist and, in England, various jobs in schools, libraries and an audiobook charity. She has now made her home in the Buckinghamshire Chilterns (where the Slated trilogy is set) but Teri's love of travel continues, and research for her novels has recently taken her to Dartmoor (Book of Lies) and Shetland (Dark Matter).
