I was provided a free copy of this book by the author. All opinions are my own.

Beneath the boy’s thumb, my blood bubbled in reaction to the implant. Hot stinging moved through my flesh for a helping of seconds before subsiding. The boy felt it too, for when it was done, he removed his thumb and inspected my hand. Beneath my skin was a green glow, roughly the size of a coin. It was done. Their people were born with extreme lust for ours, and just as my grandfather had warned all those years ago, one of them had come for me. I, Zillow Stone, had been marked by an unholy one. While I digested the truth of it, the boy leaned over, placing his lips nearly to my ear, and whispered, “Run.”

At the end of time, the world is divided. In the west reside the Markers, in the east, the Marked.

On a massive gameboard, scattered with discotheques and giant mechbeasts, Zillow Stone’s sole purpose is to serve as prey. But she is fastest, strongest, smartest . . . and she won’t go down without a fight.

Who will win in a death game to survive? And when it’s every player for herself, who can Zillow trust?

In the wasteland, where the Markers play with their prey like it's food, not everything is as it seems.

Includes all four thrilling acts for the first time in one volume. Discover the truth of the desert. Order now to start the chase. - Amazon.com

I can never get enough dystopians. Never. Ever. But I do have favorites and ones I like less than others. This one? I love better than all the others. This was a mix between The Hunger Games and The Walk (written under Stephen King's pen name. You should really check it out). The thing I loved about it was that it was fast paced, but it didn't skip on any of the important world building details or anything like that. This was one of the better built worlds I've read this year! I could picture everything clearly and I could see the actions of the characters. All of the characters were believable and acted more human than some characters I've read. All very well developed as well and they each have a distinct voice. The plot developed phenominally well. I thought that because the book was fast paced that the book's plot would not be fully developed, but I was so so wrong. I also thought the writing was phenominal and very easy to read. Perfect for young reads and old.

The only thing I didn't like was that the fighting did get repeatitive after awhile, but this is a book where characters are fighting to the death so it's a necessary evil. Zillow is also a very closed off character for the first parts of the book and as the book develops she opens up. Some readers might find her hard to love at first but I promise the more you stay with her the better it gets!

Verdict: If you are a dystopian lover this is a book you NEED to read! Wonderful, fast paced, quick read that will leave you wanting more in the end. Check this book out today!
