June & Day. Metias and John. Eden & Tess.
Just an amazing cast of characters flood this story of adventure through a Dystopian underworld filled with plague, death, spies and love.

I instantly loved Day. He's the dystopian Peter Pan - stealing from the rich in order to feed, care and protect the poor. But his actions aren't all 'for the good of all'.

Omg I so loved this story told from two different young teens. A boy name Day living on the poor side as June living as a Prodigy due to her test scores that's giving by the republic.

Days a criminals on the run. But it gets worst when June's big brother is killed and Day's to blame for it so June is sent to track Day down.

Good book lots of action, deception, love and secrets.
Can't wait to read part 2. ...more

Quick and engaging read.

I really enjoyed the main characters, Day and June. Both are young but on opposites sides.

Definitely will be continuing with the series.

This was quite a start to a series. I enjoyed it. I usually like when they are a bit shorter adds more of a hurry feel to everything. It had a hunger games feel to it for me so it helped.
