Synopsis

Before the war, Eden’s life was easy. Then the revolution happened, and everything changed.Now a powerful group called the Wolfpack controls the earth and its resources. And even though Eden has lost everything to them, she refuses to die by their hands. She knows the coordinates to the only neutral ground left in the world, a place called Sanctuary Island, and she is desperate to escape to its shores.Eden finally reaches the island and meets others resistant to the Wolves. But the solace is short-lived when one of Eden’s new friends goes missing. Braving the jungle in search of their lost ally, they quickly discover Sanctuary is filled with lethal traps and an enemy they never expected.This island might be deadlier than the world Eden left behind, but surviving it is the only thing that stands between her and freedom.

Goodreads review by Elle on September 27, 2018

I'm really sad I hated this book so much when pages 1-100 were SO GOOD. I don't think I've ever gone from loving to hating a book so fast.

Goodreads review by Laura on July 24, 2017

The fire pops, hisses. War is like this: consuming, ravenous, feeding and feeding until there’s nothing left to take and all that’s left is ash. YA dystopians can be pretty hard to resist and the concept for this one intrigued me. It doesn't hurt that it had already gotten optioned for film prior......more

Goodreads review by Anna on June 18, 2016

The main character......more
