Her boyfriend, Tomas, seems to maybe remember more, and when Cia has a memory of him taking a pill that will help him keep his memories, she realizes that he does remember. The main character Cia did have her memories erased, but she had left herself a recording of things that she needed to remember and people not to trust. And at the end of the testing, those left, all had their memories erased. Only those competing weren't told to kill, but some did in order to increase their chances of passing the test first. And a final test for those that made it that far included a type of Hunger Games type of situation. The different tests checked their intelligence, problem solving skills, etc. In the first book, students from the colonies surrounding the main city of the new civilization were selected to come in and be tested. But I knew it was a pretty good story idea, and did have some unique bits, and so I did want to read on and see if the 2nd book could salvage the story for me. Now the first book was good, it was just so similar to The Hunger Games that I had trouble reading it. Especially if they read my not so stellar review of the first book HERE. First, thanks to HMH Books for Young Readers and Edelweiss for allowing me to read this e-galley.
