I really liked this despite the whole zombie “ghost” thing. Disliked that with a fiery passion.

The Karensa Federation is taking over territories one by one. Unleashing their unstoppable army of Ghosts on all who dares to oppose them. Talin is a survivor from one of the battles waged against the Karensa Federation and is in the elite fighting force sworn to defend Mara. When Talin rises her life to defend an unknown prisoner, she may have stumbled upon their victory. Skyhunter is an epic adventure into the human condition and how war changes individuals.. Lu transports the reader into a time of war post apocalyptic America, one that could be the near future. The fast passed, character driven plot allows readers to fully understand each character through the eyes of Talin and the Skyhunter. Each character has a dual identity and adds to the depth of the storyline, creating a rich tapestry. Lu's world building will dazzle readers and make them want more.

I randomly found this guy as a preview ARC on NetGalley and got sucked into the first 75 pages. I needed more. The book was months from coming out and eventually I forgot about it, until I stumbled across the gem in Libby. I loved it even more as a full story!

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I definitely would read book two. Litereary speaking, though, I think there are a few weaknesses: The acceptance of Red came easily, you would have thought there were a few responsible adults that helped along the way, and a little more plot development. Still, an entertaining read I think my students will love.
