4.0

This is definitely a gripping dystopian and body/religious horror book. Taking place in an alternatw future in which a mysterious disease known as the Flood has ravaged hunanity, making their organs and flesh degrade and mutate in gruesome manners, Benji is on the run and hiding the fact that he is a Seraph.

The world building is strong and the characters are all believable for kids who have had to grow up to quickly. I like how doverse and inclusive the cast is with one character showing how to seamlessly use neo-pronouns.

The horror elements are also very well done and stomach churning as Benji's body begins falling apart. So if you are squeamish, probably skip this one. I have to admit some scenes were pushing the limit of grossness for me.
