ALIVE kicks off the Generations trilogy with a fascinating and intriguing mystery. A young woman is awakened by a sharp pain, only to find herself trapped in a darkened coffin-like space. She can't remember her name or why she is there but she knows it's her birthday. The young woman escapes, only to discover she's not alone. Will she and the others discover what happened to them and why their world looks as it does? Step inside the pages to see what lurks around the corners....

I love the twists and turns Scott Sigler makes in ALIVE. Just when I think I know where it's going, bam, another shocking twist occurs! ALIVE reminds me a lot of a cross between The Lord of the Flies and The Maze Runner and yet the ending makes it so much more. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to see just where the heck the story was going! I'm still not sure I even like the main character but her gutsy determination is more than necessary in this diabolical world she finds herself in.

My friends and family have cheerfully dubbed me the Queen of Spoilers as I love knowing all the big secrets before I read a book or watch a movie. Thankfully, I couldn't find any spoilers for ALIVE as part of the fun is seeing the storyline unfold as each new revelation provides a clue to the bigger mystery. I heartily recommend avoiding any spoilers before reading ALIVE as you will ruin part of the thrill Scott Sigler has in store for you.

ALIVE is the first book I've read by Scott Sigler but it definitely won't be the last! The tension and suspense ramp up with each new piece of information in this compelling thriller. Scott Sigler definitely has a winner on his hands with ALIVE and I can't wait to see what surprises the next two books in the trilogy bring us!
