Lane McEvoy is comfortable inside the wall, safe from the
virus. She could be happier what with her dad being gone a
lot, but things aren't too bad. When she is taken by the
police and hears her father is accused of being a criminal,
she has no choice but to go over the wall to find him. Over
the wall, she finds adventure and terrors she never
imagined.
INHUMAN by Kat Falls is a unique and exciting read. The
setting is different from what I expected, but it is molded
extremely well. The idea of 'manimals' as part of a virus is
refreshing, and the almost Walking Dead-esque feel to the
world beyond the wall makes for a powerful pace and plot. I
especially like how it includes the right amount of science
to fit the world, but not too much to go over your head.
While there is a love triangle in this story, it works very
well for the characters. Everson, Rafe, and Lane build off
of each other as characters in positive and negative ways,
and romance is not the main focus of the story. Even so,
there are several swoony moments between Lane and both guys
that get your heart pounding and make for a nice touch.
My favorite part of this story is the twist on one of the
antagonists. I didn't see it coming, but the highlight of
how sometimes it's human nature that drives people crazy,
not animal nature, gives the story a unique feel. The course
of discovering the villain is logical, thrilling, and even
frightening.
INHUMAN is a great read for anyone who enjoys dystopian-type
worlds and fast paced plot. I highly enjoyed it, and I hope
there is more to this series!
In the wake of a devastating biological disaster, the United
States east of the Mississippi has been abandoned. Now
called the Feral Zone, a reference to the virus that turned
millions of people into bloodthirsty savages, the entire
area is off-limits. The punishment for violating the border
is death.
Lane McEvoy can't imagine why anyone would risk it. She's
grown up in the shadow of the great wall separating east
from west, and she's curious about what's on the other side
- but not that curious. Life in the west is safe and
comfortable . . . just how she likes it.
But Lane gets the shock of her life when she learns that
someone close to her has crossed into the Feral Zone. And
she has little choice but to follow. Lane travels east,
completely unprepared for what she finds in the ruins of
civilization . . . and afraid to learn whether her humanity
will prove her greatest strength or a fatal weakness.
Kat Falls brings you to the very edge of civilization and
dares you to jump.
