So Unique!

 Midnight on the Celestial by Julia Alexandra 

I won this in a goodreads give away and I'm so glad I did. This is one of the most interesting and unique books I have read in a while. I was expecting it to be dystopian in nature, which I love, but it's not. It's a fantasy dystopia mix with a YA romance thrown in. I am assuming I got an unedited proof, which I hope gets cleaned up before publication because I would hate for the grammar police to destroy this book over a few misplaced commas and typos. So, in this society some people are born with abilities, called morphias. Our main character can bring back the dead. When you turn 18 you are given a trial to see if you and your power are a danger to society or not. She fails. There are two choices, have your power stripped from you or go on board the Celestial and over the course of four years try to earn a retrial. The catch: you only get one chance at retrial and if you fail your powers are stripped on the spot. She opts for the ship, even though her family doesn't want that, so she runs away to it. Her first day is rough, but her roomie is nice and helps her out. Her last name carries a lot of weight and she gets a good job on the ship because of it, but she had a rough go at first. She makes friends, and has a blossoming relationship. But, the ship is having issues. You can't be out of your room at night or bad things happen; a girl is murdered toward the end of the month and she is set up to take the fall but the family she is serving just so happens to be there and vouches for her so they can't blame it on her. And, she ends up being one of the people to earn a retrial. Except, it's not a trial, it's an extraction. So, she uses her powers to attack the bad guys and they are able to get off the ship and she and her friends go to her house to her dad. Well, he's actually a really bad guy. He's trying to start a war and he's using the morphic prison to do so. He even faked his son's death to send him to the prison so he could lead the army. Her older sister has been working to stop him and breaks her, her friends, and their brother out of prison. Brother makes a potion that wakes up all of the prisoners because daddy dearest has been keeping them drugged. They capture him and turn him in, but he eventually escapes. But, the plans that she and her boyfriend have been making to build a school for morphics have come to fruition and it all ends well. I was hooked from the first page. I would read more books from this world. I want to know what happens next. Give me more.
