Questions of ethics, science, morality, and mortality all collide in Revived, Cat Patrick’s thought-provoking second novel. In the first chapter, fifteen-year-old Daisy Appleby dies. For the fifth time. She’s a member of the test group for Revive, a top-secret drug that can bring people back from the dead. Being part of the Revive Project has its benefits (being alive, for starters) but with each death and each dose of Revive, Daisy has to start her life over—changing her last name and relocating with her government agent pseudo-parents to maintain the strict confidentiality of the program. The constant threat of change hangs over Daisy and doesn’t leave her much energy to form friendships, so she is pleasantly surprised when she hits it off with siblings Audrey and Matt McKean shortly after moving to Omaha. As she grows closer to the McKeans, Daisy learns she isn’t the only one keeping a dangerous secret. Will Daisy risk everything she knows and expose the Revive Project for the chance to live her own life?
