Echo and River have discovered there's a way to save mankind. The Sovereign is the only one with true immunity against the superbees, but they have to find the right person. Echo seems to be the logical answer, since she's the first from the Dead Zone who's immune. To be certain they have to test Echo - by letting her get stung by a queen bee. If they're wrong she won't survive the sting...
The first book ended in a cruel cliffhanger and this book starts exactly were the former ended, so you have to read Harvest Day to understand what's it all about. Since the cliffhanger was quite adrenaline-stuffed it's action from the beginning! Everyone also seem to have secrets that are revealed one after the other, and I've been surprised several times. Other times things feel very logical and therefore predictable, but I think there's a nice mix. I do feel like the pacing was a bit uneven and there were some repetitions.
This book also ends with a cliffhanger, although of a different kind. I'm happy that the next book is releasing in a couple of weeks!
