Publisher's summary

The Resistance has begun.

Remy Alexander wants vengeance. When she and her friends discover a clue that could help reveal the truth behind the massacre that claimed her sister's life, she may finally get her chance.

Valerian Orlean wants answers: to why the girl he was in love with disappeared three years ago, why she joined the Resistance - a covert organization sworn to destroy everything he believes in. When he is appointed to lead a government program whose mission is to hunt and destroy the Resistance, he may finally find his answers - and Remy.

In a world where the powerful kill to keep their secrets and the food you eat can change who you are, Remy and Vale are set on a collision course that could bring everyone together - or tear everything apart.

In this science-fiction dystopia, the mother-daughter writing team of Kristina, Amira, and Elena Makansi immerse listeners in the postapocalyptic world of the Okarian Sector, where romance, friendship, adventure, and betrayal will decide the fate of a budding nation. Be sure to continue the story with The Reaping, book two of the Seeds Trilogy, and The Prelude, a novella about Soren Skaarsgard, one of listeners' favorite characters.

It took me some time to really get into the story.

It took me some time to really get into the story because it really just throws you into the world with little preamble or explanation. While I like books that don't hold your hand, this was a bit too much right in the beginning. Eventually we find out enough to really enjoy the dynamic and political aspects. Overall, it reminded me quite a bit of the YA survival books that are so popular these days. Fans of the Hunger Games and the Maze Runner will probably enjoy this one.

I listened to the audio version and I enjoyed Ivy Tara Blair's reading of the book, but I got distracted by the inhalations that were left in. Some people might not find this an issue - and I don't find it to be a deal-breaker - but I think it would have been better if they had been edited out. Otherwise, it was pretty good.

**I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.**
