I'll start by saying that I seriously considered putting this down and not coming back at the beginning. The first 1/4 was slow and came across as whiny, and made me question my book choice. However, I hate leaving books unfinished and it paid off with this one! After a lacklustre opening it begins to pick up speed, moving forward into a well formed story with some genuinely brave and interesting characters. So bear with it... it's worth the wait!

I felt like the author was trying too hard with his word choice. His descriptive language fleas over the top pretty often. Why did we learn so much about Zoey's bladder? The reason we're supposed to accept for Rita's change in behavior doesn't fit the Rita we initially meet. There's something missing in terms of character development to make it seem believable. This goes for Penny too. The premise was good though and the story kept my interest. I'm hoping the author evens out the rough bits in his writing for the second installment. I'm not really sure how we can keep the story going with how it ended though. There are some loose ends that needed to be wrapped up, but it felt like the whole story could have ended with book one. no reviews | add a review

A mysterious worldwide epidemic reduces the birthrate of female infants from 50 percent to less than one percent. Medical science and governments around the world scramble in an effort to solve the problem, but twenty-five years later there is no cure, and an entire generation grows up with a population of fewer than a thousand women. Zoey and some of the surviving young women are housed in a scientific research compound dedicated to determining the cause. For two decades, she's been isolated from her family, treated as a test subject, and locked away, told only that the virus has wiped out the rest of the world's population.

I cannot wait for the rest of the story. And I liked the ending! Not just a cliffhanger but a beginning. ( )
