Advance reviews:
“Addictive, intense, and oozing with romance. I’m envious. I couldn’t put it down.”
— Lauren Kate, New York Times bestselling author of Fallen
“Fast-paced action scenes convey imminent danger vividly….Part cautionary tale, part juicy love story, this will appeal to action and adventure fans.”
— Kirkus
“A hot dystopian novel…[a] dark tale of the future we’re looking forward to picking up come November.”
