I absolutely loved this book. I originally found the second book first but realized it was the second one before buying. As soon as I saw the cover, I was captivated. Once I started reading, I was hooked. It had such a great plot, basically a virus killed all the women and one girl for whatever reason, survived. Not only is she the only woman left, but she has to survive by herself while there are groups of men living together still. This books shocked me, and kept me wanting for more. Can’t wait to get my hands on the second book. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed the writing style of the author. I really liked the ending, a good cliffhanger is always something I form a love-hate relationship with. It is definitely written for young adult in the use of language. I would compare the writing and character relationships to that of Maggie Stiefvater's in "The Raven Cycle' series.

 Read this if you like…
- ya dystopian
- young love
- a virus killed off all the female population
- can suspend your disbelief

Themes at play…
- clan mentality
- loss of humanity
- survival

The narration is where this book shined…while the writing could use some work, the narration was top-notch. When the story got bogged down with believability issues, the narration kept me listening. The romance between the main characters could’ve been more plausible with more scenes between them, and maybe more inner dialogue would’ve actually sold me on it. With all that being said, I will most likely listen to the next book to see what direction she’s going to take this and maybe her writing will improve. Also…this was a ballsy premise you have to think outside the box to pull something like this off…and if you’re the last girl on the planet…I feel like there should be a lot more men trying to steal you away…and have their way with you, but hey, this is YA.

- The narration by Emily Lawrence, Andrew Eiden, and Michael Crouch (only had small part) was superbly cast.
- ratings score = 6.90/10
