Wynter has been kicked out of a cult. She’s lived there since she was seven, and
now she has to build a new life for herself.
Her sister and niece are still inside the Enclave, and Wynter wants to
get them out. But being outside the
Enclave isn’t a safe place. A disease
that causes rapid onset dementia is spreading like wildfire. Things around the entire country are falling
apart, and stopping it will end up resting on Wynter’s shoulders.
I like Tosca Lee’s writing style, and this one doesn’t
disappoint in that regard. The
descriptions are well done, and the tension is there. My main complaint revolves around the time
jumps. The flashbacks come without
warning and are jarring. The ending also
bothered me a bit. After all the
wonderful descriptions and immersive scenes, the end wrapped up too fast. It made me feel a bit cheated.
I’ll take some of the responsibility for not liking this
book. It’s one of those times when
liking an author doesn’t mean you like all their books. The subject matter is chilling and something
I wouldn’t normally read. On the other
hand, the way the flashbacks were handled and the rushed ending would have
bothered me in any book.
Overall, it just wasn’t for me.
*I received a copy of this book from Howard Books through
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
