This surprisingly is the first story I have read by Veronica Roth. I did enjoy the story it just was not spectacular for me. I expected more because of how hyped up of an author she is.
Arch-Conspirator is a futuristic post-apocalyptic retelling of Antigone.
With Earth coming to an end the last city has to rely on the genes of the fallen to repopulate. When ones parents fall it is usually a celebrated thing. Antigone feels nothing but rage as her uncle Kreon is trying to claim her father's empty throne. When he welcomes her sibling and her into his home she sees it as a trap. He quickly learns that he is not unbreakable.

If you are a fan of extreme horror this book is for you! It was such a good read! The premise for the book is this woman had made a playground that is meant to just to kill children. She invited families to come try out this new park and they will be paid for participating. Little do they know that the park is made to not survive. We get a loot at the events the children go through, the monster who created the park, her assistant and the parents who’s children are being taken out one by one.

This story was a quick and crazy read! It is an extreme horror book so it is not for everyone!! If you love disturbing stories, stalkers, kidnapping, and can stomach reading sexual assault I highly recommend this book!! If you cannot this is not the story for you!!
