Cat lives in a remote hidden location, far from big populations where she might contract the plague.  Cat is a hacker and works at decoding and manipulating DNA.  She has lived by herself for two years, ever since her father was taken by Cartaxus.  Cat has been taught that Cartaxus is evil and to avoid them at all costs, but when a Cartaxus soldier named Cole shows up to tell Cat her father is dead, her world starts to shift. 

I couldn’t put this book down.  I got caught up in the dystopian world that had the same feel as The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancy.  I enjoyed all the plot twists, the chemistry between the characters and the quick moving storyline.  There is a lot of gory and gruesome violent content and a heavy make-out session.
