No current Talk conversations about this book. 3.5 Stars ( ) Well considering I wasn't looking for another series (desperately trying to avoid it in fact) this one got me hooked enough to want to read the other two. Happily, my library service has both and I picked up The Lair today - still awaiting the last one. Proper review once I've finished all three :-) Lily knows time is running out. Like many teenagers their age, she & her sister are imprisoned in government-run blood camps to provide food for vampires. But there’s an expiration date to their usefulness & their fellow prisoners are more likely to turn on each other than help. When they run into a former classmate, they plan a desperate escape.
This was a great book! McKay has mast fully used multiple points of view to enhance the story and develop characters that are brilliant! Escaping the farm is only the beginning of this wild ride! Belongs to SeriesThe Farm Series (1) Awards
Life was different in the Before: before vampires began devouring humans in a swarm across America; before the surviving young people were rounded up and quarantined. These days, we know what those quarantines are, holding pens where human blood is turned into more food for the undead monsters, known as Ticks. Surrounded by electrical fences, most kids try to survive the Farms by turning on each other. And when trust is a thing of the past, escape is nearly impossible. Lily and her twin sister Mel have a plan. Though Mel can barely communicate, her autism helps her notice things no one else notices, like the portion of electrical fence that gets turned off every night. Getting across won't be easy, but as Lily gathers what they need to escape, a familiar face appears out of nowhere, offering to help. Carter was a schoolmate of Lily's in the Before. Managing to evade capture until now, he has valuable knowledge of the outside world. But like everyone on the Farm, Carter has his own agenda, and he knows that behind the Ticks is an even more dangerous threat to the human race. No library descriptions found. |
