A 'crack' is little more brutal than a 'whizz.' Great question though.(less)

I saw three Riders coming across a broken landscape like horsemen of the apocalypse, but instead of riding horses they were riding otherworldly bykes.

"actual rating : 4.2☆
I love the vibes. Motocycles,the desert,a deadly race,dystopian.
I feel like this book should have been longer and more detailed. But it's a debut after all.
And I am wondering if the second book will ever be released..." Read more of this review »
