New York City has been decimated by war and plague, and most of civilization
has migrated to underground enclaves, where life expectancy is no more than the
early 20s. When Deuce turns 15, she takes on her role as a Huntress, and is
paired with Fade, a teenage Hunter who lived Topside as a young boy. When she
and Fade discover that the neighboring enclave has been decimated by the tunnel
monsters—or Freaks—who seem to be growing more organized, the elders refuse to
listen to warnings. And when Deuce and Fade are exiled from the enclave, the
girl born in darkness must survive in daylight, in the ruins of a city whose
population has dwindled to a few dangerous gangs. As the two are guided by
Fade’s long-ago memories, they face dangers, and feelings, unlike any they’ve
ever known.
High school is not quite as painful as she thinks it will be, and things are as normal as they can be. Until the day the school's designated loner, Cameron Lusk, begins to stalk her, turning up where she least expects it, standing outside her house in the dark, night after night. Things get even more complicated when a new guy—terrifying, tough, sexy Jared Kovach—comes to school. Cameron and Jared instantly despise each other and Lorelei seems to be the reason for their animosity. What does Jared know about her parents? Why does Cameron tell Jared he can't have Lorelei? And what will any of them do when Death comes knocking for real? Thrilling, sassy, sexy, and inventive, Darynda Jones's first foray into the world of teens will leave readers eager for the next installment.
