Publisher's summary

Ruby can’t look back. Fractured by an unbearable loss, she and the kids who survived the government’s attack on Los Angeles travel north to regroup. Only Ruby can keep their highly dangerous prisoner in check. But with Clancy Gray, there's no guarantee you're fully in control, and everything comes with a price.

When the Children's League disbands, Ruby rises up as a leader and forms an unlikely allegiance with Liam's brother, Cole, who has a volatile secret of his own. There are still thousands of other Psi kids suffering in government "rehabilitation camps" all over the country. Freeing them - revealing the governments unspeakable abuses in the process - is the mission Ruby has claimed since her own escape from Thurmond, the worst camp in the country.

But not everyone is supportive of the plan Ruby and Cole craft to free the camps. As tensions rise, competing ideals threaten the mission to uncover the cause of IANN, the disease that killed most of America's children and left Ruby and others with powers the government will kill to keep contained. With the fate of a generation in their hands, there is no room for error. One wrong move could be the spark that sets the world on fire.

Was this my favorite book in the series?

I did not like this book as much as the other ones, because I think Ruby was not like her and she cried to much and got to close to fainting to many times it starts to get annoying. Overall I liked this book and would recommend this series to people who like action books. I think the narrator did a amazing job and would listen to another book she did.

Good conclusion to the series

Really enjoyed this book! And the whole series. It was very emotional and I felt very frustrated with the characters at multiple points in the book, but I didn’t think it was a bad thing. Annoying — but accurate to how people behave. The plot was intriguing and the conclusion was satisfying.

Narration was good, and I thought she did the male voices and accents unexpectedly well.

Great Series

When a book grabs my attention like this, I am totally invested in the characters and rooting for them all the way through. I wasn't disappointed in the ending, just disappointed that it had to end. Great book, awesome narration.

Wrapped up nicely, unique story, great characters

I enjoyed this series. The main character gets a little frustrating in the way she constantly assumes people hate her and won't forgive her but over all it's a solid story with great characters. It was a unique take on a distopian future. I wish there been a little more exploration of their powers and what they could do. But that just leaves room for a next book?? Over all I recommend!
