Description
In the year 2342, Lia wakes up to a nightmarish world where the remnants of mankind have mutated into ravaging monsters.
Alone and hunted, she struggles to remember who she is and what happened to civilization. She cannot run forever. But when she turns on her hunters, the mutation takes her over violently.
Now she must fight to maintain her humanity and uncover the terrible truth behind the apocalyptic infection—before the beast within her takes over and seals her fate forever.
Who is she? What is she?
The fate of Earth hinges on the answers. And even all her courage may not be enough when the moment of truth arrives.
"A futuristic dystopian action novel starring a fascinating female protagonist. I was drawn in by Lia: Human of Utah from the moment I started reading. She's a woman with lots of angst and a huge bunch of opponents that want to tear her to pieces in order to find out what makes her tick. The author has created an evocative and fascinating world that I enjoyed exploring too. Lia's power set makes her a bit like a superhero but the setting is more video game fantasy (which isn't a bad thing). You should definitely check this one out." -- C.T Phipps, best selling author of the Supervillainy Saga

Having a strong female lead in an action packed book is becoming normal. Lia represents the type of character most young women would envision themselves as given the same circumstances. This book will also appeal to reader looking for a Zombie or slow fall of Civilization theme. Lia has to think fast and react faster or become prey in a world spiraling out of control.
The occasional use of passive voice sticks out against the other passages that are well written and show action rather than tell. One other major distraction lays in the formatting (digital copy reviewed) where all the text mashes together in clumps.
I really like Lia's spunk and her ability to take care of herself in situations where most women have little experience with self defense and self determination.
This author is worth following to see future development.

I loved the main character in the book she was a badass. This book was a cross between Grimm and Midnight Texas. I loved all the different monsters. The author did a great job with scene development and the way he described the characters. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this book.

The story has the potential to grow. I love the story concept, the post-apocalypse and the characters, especially the female protagonist. I really like the way the ending of Book Two. It shows a little moral and that consequences happens. The story is a good concept and I wished that there were more to it than these two books. The first book has its perks. It got a lot of actions and thrills while the second wasn’t as much. The second book felt more like a resolution that came from the first book. It started out like you’ve read the first. It worked because it came together as a set. However, there're some elements missing that makes it a great read. Overall, the story was worth reading with amazing world building, character development, and backstory.
