Stung

Stung, Book 1

By: Bethany Wiggins

Narrated by: Nicole Poole

Fiona doesn't remember going to sleep. But when she opens her eyes, she discovers her entire world has been altered - her house is abandoned and broken, and the entire neighborhood is barren and dead. Even stranger is the tattoo on her right wrist - a black oval with five marks on either side - that she doesn't remember getting but somehow knows she must cover at any cost.

And she's right.

When the honeybee population collapsed, a worldwide pandemic occurred and the government tried to bio-engineer a cure. Only the solution was deadlier than the original problem - the vaccination turned people into ferocious, deadly beasts who were branded as a warning to unvaccinated survivors. Key people needed to rebuild society are protected from disease and beasts inside a fortress-like wall. But Fiona has awakened branded, alone - and on the wrong side of the wall.

Fell in love with it in 2018 and it still holds up!

I think this is my third time reading this book. I was in search for a book to read for a book report freshman year of hs and was thrilled when this book sucked me in immediately. It’s so underrated and I’m surprised more people don’t know about it. It’s a great plot, and has just the right amount of romance and spice while still being age appropriate for younger readers. Can’t wait to revisit Cured!

Great story!

Not much to say except the story is great and the narration is amazing.

The story develops amazingly and the main character and side characters develop amazingly too!

Good book

I feel like the book took a little while to get going, but once it did it was very entertaining.

My teenagers favorite book!

My daughter has read this book about 5 times and convinced me to read it, and I’m glad I did. It was an easy enjoyable listen! I suggested it to my sister, and she really liked it too. I’m more of a mystery/thriller type reader, but this was nice to listen to while I was working in the garden, very easy to follow!

Chapter 31

That isn’t right they’re just lying naked on tables that’s just wrong ok not good I don’t care what the situation is don’t strap naked people to tables Ok
