Seventeen-year-old Icie's parents have given her $10,000 in cash, a map of a top-secret bunker, and instructions to get there by any means necessary. They have news of an imminent viral attack and know that the bunker is Icie's only hope for survival. Along with three other teens, she lives locked away for months, not knowing what's happening in the outside world or who has survived. And are they safe in the bunker after all?
Generations in the future, a mysterious cult worships the very mountain where Icie's secret bunker was built. They never leave the mountain, they're ruled by a teenager...and they have surprising ties to Icie.
This high-stakes, original, and thought-provoking adventure from Sara Grant follows two unlikely heroes, hundreds of years apart, as they fight to survive.
I don't know about you guys, but that blurb instantly got me intrigued. It doesn't really give off much of the details of the book, making me want to read more. It sounds like a nice plot, too.
What do you think about the book? Share your thoughts and leave links to your own WoW picks! I'll be sure to stop by :)
P.S. I'm having a comeback giveaway on the blog at the moment! One reader will take home Requiem, Dare You To, and Transparent! Click the image below to join in on the fun~
