Wow!  I have to thank BookTok for introducing me to this book, and even a specific booktoker for sending it to me after I won her contest.  But however I came across this book, I'm so grateful to have read it!  This book is amazing and the writing is outstanding.  I wasn't even sure what this book was about before I received it in the mail, I just knew that a lot of people said they couldn't put it down and that's the kind of book I wanted to read.

This story is dystopian in nature and has a definite sci-fi feel to it.  There's a take over in place and, of course, a group of people who are set on rebelling and taking back their world.  What I found to be a bit different in this story than what I've read before, was first of all the relationship that emerges between Raven and Eighth.  I found the growth between these two characters and the growth the two characters had in and of themselves to be intriguing and fascinating.  The other part of the story that sticks out to me for being so different is the shock at the end.  I won't spoil you, but I will say that I has suspicions throughout the story that I kept dismissing and then picking back up.  Only to have been proven partially correct, though not in the way I anticipated.

Warnings... there are deaths in this book.  Not everyone will make it.  There is some violence and and actions that might trigger some people.  There is also a cliff hanger.  You WILL want book two as soon as possible.  Lucky for you (and me) the 2nd book is already published.  Happy Reading!
