This isn't a werewolfXvampire book, it is not a romance set in medieval times where they ride dragons... those styles are all fine and dandy but this is completely different. imagine you are sitting at home one day when you see on the news that there has been terrorist attacks in the city...you nod sadly, because you are used to it, you lived through 9/11, you lived through the London bombings, the Tunisia beach attack, a British solider beheaded on the city streets. Terrorism is something you are all too familiar with, but then imagine Riley's surprise when from the rubble rose hideous demon-like beasts that stand on there back legs as they rip people apart, then the TV station cuts out, and never goes live again, the electricity lasts all but minutes, people begin to loot and raid stores, and then soon enough each others homes. The mayor and his family become the closest thing to a government, since there is no media anymore to connect the people to there democratic leader... so they are left with... whatever this is, without protection, with little food, and with abuse. this is Dystopian. be warned there are themes of violent rape, murder, attempted suicide, mental illness and the characters in this book are very malnourished and underweight, if you are triggered by any of these things, or are too young to deal with them, then please do not read, i wouldn't have liked to read about this sort of stuff as kid, though this is probably more tame than the everyday news, lets be real. Riley wasn't made for this new world, not many were only those selfish and cruel and evil enough to use and abuse others to improve their own quality of life, in this new world Riley doesn't just have to protect herself from the beasts, but from most every other person out there, even her own father.
