This science fiction story was a good start to a series. A nameless young girl - sixteen and beautiful - is the only survivor of a plane crash. Or is she? She is found floating in the ocean. She is unhurt except for the fact that she has lost her memory. She doesn't know her name or where she came from or much about current pop culture. Her only possession is a heart-shaped locket with S + Z = 1609 on the back. Because of her violet eyes, one of the nurses in the hospital names her Violet. While she is in the hospital a boy comes to her and says he knows her and wants to help her escape. She doesn't remember him and doesn't trust him, fearing that he is one of those attention seekers who are trying to get some of the fame and media attention that now surrounds her.Violet is put into foster care in an isolated small town to try to keep her out of the media's eye until she regains her memory. The boy shows up again and tells her that her name is Seraphina and his is Zen thus explaining the S + Z on the locket. He says that they fell in love and were trying to escape the evil conglomerate that created her making her smarter and stronger and prettier than a normal human girl. When danger finds her, she and Zen and her thirteen-year-old foster brother Cody go on the run. Sera doesn't know who she can trust beyond Zen and she finds his explanation for her situation hard to believe. Still, she knows that she loves him and comes to trust him.The story includes time travel, genetic manipulation, and evil scientists. It also includes a really sweet romance. I can't wait to read more in this series to see if Sera and Zen ever find a place of safety.
