Synopsis

Katharyn Blair crafts a fiercely feminist fantasy with a horrifying curse, swoon-worthy sea captains, and the power of one girl to choose her own fate in this contemporary standalone adventure that's perfect for fans of The Fifth Wave and Seafire, and for anyone who has ever felt unchosen.For Charlotte Holloway, the world ended
twice.The first was when her childhood crush,
Dean, fell in love—with her older sister.The second was when the Crimson, a
curse spread through eye contact, turned the majority of humanity into
flesh-eating monsters.Neither end of the world changed
Charlotte. She’s still in the shadows of her siblings. Her popular older
sister, Harlow, now commands forces of survivors. And her talented younger
sister, Vanessa, is the Chosen One—who, legend has it, can end the curse.When their settlement is raided by
those seeking the Chosen One, Charlotte makes a reckless decision to save
Vanessa: she takes her place as prisoner. The word spreads across the seven
seas—the Chosen One has been found. But when Dean’s life is threatened and
a resistance looms on the horizon, the lie keeping Charlotte alive begins to
unravel. She’ll have to break free, forge new bonds, and choose her own destiny
if she has any hope of saving her sisters, her love, and maybe even the world.Because sometimes the end is just a new beginning.

I'm not exactly sure why; after all,it's about three high school senior girls who can't get a date. Nevertheless, I had read this book probably 100 times over the years. Nan Gi......more

Goodreads review by Lottie on July 30, 2013

I love reading reviews written by people who admit to having read a book multiple times. I like to think serious readers are on a quest, not just to be entertained, but to understand life. When an author draws a portrait of people's lives at a particular place and time, the story sometimes needs to......more

Goodreads review by Jillian on October 27, 2017

I'm not an expert on this genre of midcentury teen girl novels, but this book fascinates me. It's sort of an inversion of the likes of Beverly Cleary or Rosamond du Jardin. It's practically a horror story. There's something Sofia Coppola ish about it. This book gets right something that hardly anybo......more
