Young adult
In a world where men can turn into monsters, one girl must sacrifice everything to save the one she loves.
In the city of Galex, all that matters is your genetics. Living with a virus that only affects the male Y chromosome, men – Ys – are at risk of death or mutation and are treated like slaves, considered too dangerous to live freely. Women – Xs- rule the city.
Cara must navigate a world where the one she loves is considered a deadly enemy. With her sister Myla in charge of Galex and driven by a hatred of the Ys, Cara has a dangerous secret. If discovered, it will not only destroy her relationship with her sister, but will threaten the life of the Y she loves.
Brown has spent his life enslaved, knowing he could mutate at any moment. After seeing his best friend killed, he volunteers for a deadly mission. He is soon to face a difficult decision: protect Cara and sacrifice her sister, or betray his fellow Ys and place all his loyalty in the hands of an X.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I am not a Young Adult but could not put this book down once I started it. Having worked with youngsters I would say that it would appeal to them a great deal. It contains action, horror, thrills, romance and hope. The characters are really well defined and engrossing. Once you have accepted the premise of this new world it is so very believable. I would recommend this book very highly. Well written and with a great plot, I think it ticks all the boxes for a brilliant read!
Really enjoyed this book. Fast paced, thrilling story throughout and well written. Highly recommend and looking forward to hearing more from this exciting new author.
