“Right from page one, I found that Golden Dreg Boy by D.K. Dailey was a fun read…It was just perfect for the reader’s imagination. I felt drawn into the story and was able to focus on the plot and the characters’ actions. It was interesting to see how Kade had to adjust his attitude and beliefs after finding out the truth about his heritage…I enjoyed this first book in the series a lot. I hope the sequels will maintain the quality of book 1!” – Kim Anisi, Reader’s favorite Reviewer, 2017
After being accused of a crime holding a death sentence, Kade Shaw, a Golden (rich) boy discovers everything he knew to be true is a lie. Thrown into the brewing war between rich and the poor, he’s forced to live in the slums with Dreg (poor). Accepting Dreg status means betraying the Golden but it also means finding out who he really is: Golden or Dreg?
“Right from page one, I found that Golden Dreg Boy by D.K. Dailey was a fun read.”
“I personally like the components of YA books because you have the love interest, the self-discovery and innocence aspect of growing up. It’s a very interesting phase in life that I love to try and capture with various plots and characters.”
