Red Death by Jeff Altabef
4.0
In the city of Eden, every one is safer than the Soulless who are outside of Eden. Eden is a refuge, and the Guardian's of Eden have gas masks so they don't get the Red Death. The Red Death kills those old enough to catch it, their eyes turn red, and they die.
Aaliss is a Guardian of Eden. One of her brothers is a priest, and the other a odd little genius of sorts, or maybe he is autistic, but Wilky is fascinating. Wilky has been running tests on the Souless and he might have a major discovery. That is when Aaliss finds out their lives or in danger and there is only one place to go if you leave Eden, into the Zones.
This book is a page turner. Is the religion is as twisted as many religions have become? Certainly there are some corrupt people, but all is not at all as it seems in this book. From fantastic creatures to witches and "painted people", the large cast of characters was far from boring. Is the Creator who I hope he is? Why is Jacob's name the one used for the laws they adhere to? How long have these people been in charge anyway? Who created the virus and why? Those are only a few of the questions that keep the pages turning chapter after chapter, and perspectives from each of the main characters tell each of their parts in this story.
This is the first in a series that will probably turn out very good. This book alone was quite interesting. My copy came from the author. I was not required to leave a review. I leave this review of my own volition. My thoughts and opinions are all my own.
