Kira Jordan is the only survivor after her family is murdered and one of the few people who survive a plague that has devastated the human race. Left at 14 to live on the streets she is forced to survive on her street smarts and her wits.
Suddenly she is taken from the empty city streets and wakes up locked and handcuffed in an empty cell with a handsome stranger. Only this stranger while incredibly handsome is also a mass murderer. They are forced to join together to beat a survivor type game where the loser also loses their life.
This sounded interesting and it turns out it’s because it’s like a lot of the dystopian destroyed world pretty teens on the run to beat the bad guys novels. Which is ok is that’s your thing. For me this book was just that, ok. The premise and story line was good but I did get rather tired of hearing how hot Rogan was constantly but if you’re a cute 16 year old girl on the run with the ultimate bad boy I guess that’s a good thing to focus on. It was nice to read a book that appears to be a stand alone and isn’t part of a series.
