“When the world is at its darkest, somehow love still carries the light. Love is strength and weakness. A crutch and a sword. It can leave a person hollow and heal their wounds. It’s a friend to the stars, with pain as its shadow.” - Juniper Unraveling.
Papa says everyone has a story that deserves to be told. Most begin years ago, after the second bomb hit, unearthing a deadly contagion that divided the population into the pure, the infected, and the Ragers. Many recount the moment we rose up from the ashes and started anew.
Others tell of the day we built a wall to keep them out. For some, they’re nothing more than the vestiges left behind—a simple name carved into the knotty bark of a Juniper tree. My story begins with a boy. A mute, from the other side of the wall, known only as Six, who touched my heart in ways that words never could, and gave me the courage to face my darkest truth.
I loved this dark, dystopian book and cannot wait to continue on in the series! This is the second book I have read by Keri Lake, but I love the atmospheres, characters, tension, and stories she creates! This story takes place in a dystopian world where a sickness has killed off most the population and made them onto zombie-like killers. We follow two characters who live in this society and their journeys. I won’t say much more because there are some great twists! However, let it be noted that this is a graphic story, there are plenty of content warnings for this one because it doesn’t hold back. DM me if you would like to know these. As a bonus, Keri Lake also made a playlist for this book and it is SO good, I love when authors do that because I feel like it adds another element to the story! As I mentioned, I am eager to continue on in the series and see what happens next!
