I loved the plot and storyline of this book. Once I started reading I couldn’t stop. I just wanted to find out what would happen next! You really feel like you know each character; the amount of detail truly transports you into their dystopian world. Talk about a cliffhanger at the end! I can’t wait to read the next one.! – Amazon Review
