Thank you to the publisher for a review copy!

I had been so genuinely excited to read this book that it had been on my "most anticipated" list even before receiving an early copy for review.  I mean, c'mon, enemies trying to escape a quarantine zone together? Hell yes. I love a solid quest in a great setting and I could feel the characters' tension from the synopsis alone.

Unfortunately, this story fell flat.  While enjoyable, it also wasn't as exciting as promised - the character development was quite shallow, the quest was quite tame.  I finished the book feeling bored, disappointed, and annoyed at the characters' illogical decisions.  And I haven't thought about it much since.
