Advance Praise

"This book snuck up on me. I started reading it thinking, "This could be good," and, "Hey, this is pretty interesting," and somewhere along the line it turned into, "What do you MEAN I have to put the book down I'm NOT DONE." - Zoe Cannon

"I absolutely LOVED this book. Like really, really LOVED it. Like others have said, you think it's starting off "slow" but it's really just giving you an insight into the world. I am absolutely obsessed with dystopian novels, and this one of the very best. I really, really felt like I knew the world, and that I knew how cold the people in the world was. There wasn't a silly "Oh this is the one, absolutely perfect, doesn't fit in this world" characters. All the characters you can tell they came from this world and changed their thinking, unlike a lot of dystopian novels where the main characters seem like they are from our world instead of the world they are in.

Seriously if you love dystopian novels, well even if you don't, read this! You will LOVE it, I promise. It's WAY better than a lot of the well known dystopian novels, it's so good!!" - Heather Burks
