Items related to Vicarious: A Novel
Paula Stokes weaves together a series of mysteries and the story of an unbreakable bond between sisters in this unforgettable thrill ride.
Winter Kim and her sister, Rose, work as high-tech stunt girls for Rose's ex-boyfriend, Gideon, engaging in dangerous and enticing activities while recording their neural impulses for his Vicarious Sensory Experiences, or ViSEs. Whether it's bungee jumping, shark diving, or grinding up against celebrities at the city's hottest dance clubs, Gideon can make it happen for you--for a price.
When Rose disappears and a ViSE recording of her murder is delivered to Gideon, Winter is devastated. She won't rest until she finds her sister's killer. But when the clues she uncovers conflict with the neural recordings her sister made, Winter isn't sure what to believe. To find out what happened to Rose, she'll have to untangle what's real from what only seems real, risking her life in the process.

From School Library Journal:
Gr 9 Up—Have you ever wanted to go cliff-diving or swimming with sharks? Winter Kim works for tech genius Gideon recording Vicarious Sensory Experiences, or ViSEs. These devices allow others to experience anything from an adrenaline-fueled jump off a bridge to dancing with celebrities at the hottest clubs. Taken from a Korean orphanage, Winter and her sister Rose are trafficked to the United States and endure a hellish childhood. They are rescued by Gideon and move to St. Louis to work for his software company. Winter's dark past resurfaces when a ViSE of her sister's murder is sent to Gideon. The mystery surrounding what actually happened pushes Winter to seek answers, finding truths that she may never be able to live with. Stokes gives fans of suspense a story full of twists and turns. The pacing slows when Winter develops a relationship with pal Jesse. This might frustrate readers seeking a narrative full of thrills without the romance. The author admirably handles graphic and disturbing content in a subtle manner. VERDICT An additional purchase; good for those seeking to expand their YA fiction collections.—Meaghan Nichols, Archaeological Research Associates, ON, Cananda
