I really enjoyed this book! It mixes the excitement of a post-apocalyptic world with magical surprises. Imagine a world like ours, but with special places called fault lines protected by Guardians. When a Guardian passes away, magic spreads, giving powers to more people. But be careful—some, like Ford, get greedy and want all the magic for themselves!

Sid, just an ordinary teenager, suddenly finds herself in the spotlight when her brother disappears. She teams up with other empowered teens to face the challenges ahead. The story beautifully shows how people reveal their true selves in tough times.

The story itself comes off as a mashup of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Walking Dead, with loads of wild magic. I was hooked by the friendships and Sid's journey to believe in herself. Even when faced with zombies and tough situations, Sid, a transracial adoptee, shows that empathy is a superpower. This book is an exciting adventure that proves kindness and courage can conquer anything! And I definitely laughed out loud a few times, especially with the GIANT Chad...you need to read the book to understand this reference!
