About this eBook
'A little bit GOLDEN COMPASS, a little bit HUNGER GAMES, and all adventure' - Amie Kaufman, NYT bestselling author of ILLUMINAE
The brand-new series from the author of the magical POTION DIARIES adventures!
Lacey Chu has big dreams of working for the company behind the 'baku' - a customizable smart pet that functions as a phone but makes the perfect companion for its user. The only problem is, she's just been rejected from Profectus Academy - the elite academy for cutting-edge tech.
Then Lacey meets Jinx... Jinx is an incredibly advanced cat baku who opens up a world that Lacey never new existed, including entry into the hallowed halls of Profectus. But what is Jinx, really? His abilities far surpass anything written into his coded. He seems to be more than just a robotic pet.
He seems ... real.
‘The most compelling read of the year ... terrifyingly of the moment’ - Evening Standard

'Inventive, romantic, and downright delightful, Madly cast its spell on me from page one, and is the most fun I've had reading in ages!' Sarah J Maas, author of the Throne of Glass series
'It's so cool!' Zoe Sugg, aka Zoella

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK. I found this book very interesting as I would usually not pick up a book that has something to do with tech or science but I found myself glued into the pages.I really did love how you didn't need to know anything about science or computer technology to understand the book. My heart went to each and every character and I always felt as if it were real! However, from all of these amazing things my favourite thing about the whole story was the care and imagination put into the plot of the book. I would really recommend this book to anyone.

Despite what the tags say, this really isn't a children's book. It's a bloody great read though. I finished it in under a day- couldn't put it down.
