Description
In the year 2342, Lia wakes up to a nightmarish world where the remnants of mankind have mutated into ravaging monsters. Alone and hunted, she struggles to remember who she is and what happened to civilization.
She cannot run forever. But when she turns on her hunters, the mutation takes her over violently. Now she must fight to maintain her humanity and uncover the terrible truth behind the apocalyptic infection—before the beast within her takes over and seals her fate forever.
Who is she? What is she? The fate of Earth and more hinges on the answers. And even all her courage may not be enough when the moment of truth arrives.
Advance Praise
"""In the chilling opening, Lia discovers strange scars on her athletic and muscular body when she wakes up in a department store. Why can’t she remember what happened? She encounters a tall, huge, bipedal scaly creature with sharp claws on its hands and feet. But it wasn’t the only mutated, infected creature after her. Hunting her. Is this a dream or is it real? Lia travels, searching for the truth. Author Greg Ramsay creates an action-filled world in the year 2342 littered with carnage, blood and graphic violence, where the fight for survival continues in battle after battle, culminating in an unexpected ending.""
""I love a story with a strong female character, where it’s basically her against the world (and whatever unholy creatures inhabit it), centering on her fight to stay alive. Enter Lia. Mind foggy but possessing the strength to fight through, she makes her way through Utah meeting whatever comes her way headfirst. Lia is a character I can get behind - ‘cause no way I’m throwing down with the likes of these monsters – but still feel as if I’m fighting by her side the whole journey. Don’t believe me? Then read this book and you’ll see what I mean."""

I was very confused throughout this novel this idea seemed very out there. The writing was amazing though it was a novel that was very easy to get into too. While I didn’t enjoy the plot much the characters were enjoyable to read about and carried it out.

Very cool, and very well written. Can't wait to read others in the series, and by this author. Would tell my friends and family to look out for this book and this author. Loved the world building, The way in which things were described.

Incredibly interesting take on human evolution and development. The story is set in a dystopian future which focuses on effects of a virus as well as an alien invasion. The main character wakes up with amnesia and we follow her on her journey of self discovery of her changed self. The author does a great job of building the world around you and connects you with the very flawed and real main character, Lia. Her growth and development and attempts to understand and listen to her inner voice and intuition were realistic and at times frustrating which also made me appreciate the book all the more. You are only frustrated with the main character when you are fully invested in them :)
