Remnants of humanity are scattered high in the mountains, far from the deadly disease that wiped out ten billion lives. While everyone claws for survival, Micka cuts lines and numbers into her skin. The day she decides to press the blade deeper, a stranger steps into her life and makes an offer she finds hard to decline.

2.75 stars. Not really my cup of tea, this book. It wasn't bad, I just couldn't connect with it, and the story. It's a dystopian that is very gritty, bleak and direct. All business, no fun. Several times I found myself wondering what the story really was and why it wasn't progressing.

The main character, Micka, I didn't like her at all. You probably weren't supposed to like her much, based on her behaviour throughout the book and the way she describes herself, but I didn't even have sympathy for her? I liked Runner better.

Don't think I'll continue this series, but I'm sure this is right up someone else's alley, it just didn't do it for me. :)

Content in this book that you might find interesting or would want to know about: synesthesia, self harm, child abuse, girl-on-girl sex, paedophilia.
