YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Nominee

“Haunting…Bracken creates a gripping and terrifying dystopian world. Ruby is a reluctant heroine, strong yet vulnerable in equal measure, who will endear herself to readers.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“[A] gritty, economically devastated near-future America where children are hunted and feared, and danger lurks even in the aisles of an abandoned Wal-Mart…the story’s quick-paced action leads to a heartbreaking cliffhanger that will have readers eager for the next book in this planned trilogy.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Heart-wrenching but completely riveting, the novel pulls no punches….Fans of the darker elements of Collins’
The Hunger Games
and Shusterman’s
Unwind
will want to pick up this inventive new take on the science fiction survival story.”

—Romantic Times

“A riveting, emotional read that kept me on the edge!”

New York Times
best-selling author Melissa Marr

“Ruby is a wonderfully flawed heroine: fiercely loyal to the ones she loves and refreshingly conflicted about the enormous power she possesses….After reading the first two books, readers will be left clamoring for the third.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Tense, emotional, and brutal….It’s safe to say fans will appreciate the well-thought-out conclusion.”
