The Corridor by A.N. Willis

Book blurb:

" Stel Alaster has never known life without the Corridor. It appeared suddenly seventeen years ago, the only portal to a parallel version of our world—Second Earth. Everyone on First Earth fears Mods, the genetically modified Second Earthers who built the Corridor. They are too smart, too strong, and have powers that can’t be controlled. Any Mod found on First Earth is branded, then detained in the Corridor’s research labs. 

Only Stel has a dangerous secret. She has a power, too: She can open a portal to Second Earth . . . and several other parallel universes she’s discovered. If anyone ever finds out, she’ll be imprisoned, no better than a Mod or common lab rat. 

But when the Corridor starts to fail, emitting erratic bursts of energy that could destroy First Earth, Stel must risk everything to save the people and world she loves. With the help of an escaped Mod and an infuriatingly arrogant boy from a third universe, Stel sets out to unravel the mysteries of the Corridor and stabilize it before it’s too late. The fate of every world lies in the balance. . . . "

My review:

First of all, the Corridor is a Young Adults sci-fi story about Estelle or 'Stel', a young girl living on "First Earth" who loves her family: her dad and older brother Justin. Due to an accident with the Corridor a few months ago, she's now able to open portals to other worlds or other Earths. She doesn't really know how her power works and she's a little scared people might think she's one of the 'Mods' from the second Earth, so she hides her ability. 

Her dad is the former leader of her planet, he's also a scientist and has been trying to find out what is wrong with the First Corridor. The new (and manipulative) leader Sam ignores everything he learns and announces the building of another Corridor, the problem is, it will probably destroy and kill everyone on this Earth, like it happened on the Second Earth. Stel is determined to help however she can. 

I enjoyed reading this but it took me some time to read it because i had to put it down a few times. I liked the concept of the book, it was interesting and i liked the touch of romance in this. I didn't love it but it was enjoyable. I'm not sure I like the way it ended though. I am not sure yet if I will read the second book in the series, or not. 

***I wanted to thank Alloy Entertainment for letting me read and review a digital copy of this book.***
