This book is grungy and dirty and savage, and I love it! Brexley Kovacs is in the human headquarters in Budapest, where she's been adopted by the current High General's family. Her father was a war hero in the Human-Fae wars and was a General, but is now deceased. 

In this post apocalpytic world, the Fae have come out of hiding and have taken over ruling the world, and humans are no better than slaves now. Humans must fight day to day to find food and water, and many don't survive. The human headquarters, HDF, is the only place where humans of means live and thrive, which is where Brexley has been born and raised. 

Brexley has been in love with the General's son, Caden, for years, but she doesn't know if he sees her as just his best friend and sister or something more. They continue to sneak out of the compound together and steal from the train that makes its way across Budapest, before it makes it to the Fae side of the city. 

One night, they don't make it off the train in time, and Brexley ends up in Halalhaz, Death House, which is the prison run by the Fae. She's assumed dead by everyone that she knows and loves, and now she must fight her way through this prison of half breeds, fae, humans, demons, and shifters. Will she survive?

I'm so buckled into the ride and ready for more! I can't wait to see where this series takes me!
