"Kick, thrust, slash" p 147. Swift stabs and slices, carved club clobbers and clouts, by narrator Deuce 15. Huntress is her duty, her job, all she has ever wanted and worked for. Gory after images. I should not have read before bed.

As usual, Ann Aguirre rocks it. 'Nuff said,
This is the second book in this series, after reading the first one and then this, I can't wait to get my hands on the third one.
Also, Ann's "Grimspace" series is excellent.

This was like a mellow maze runner. On the book it said "fans of the hunger games" but Maze runner is a better recommendation.
With that being said it was a good read. It was fast paced and entertaining. The end seemed to get a little…

This book is a great choice for people who like fiction mixed with a little bit of fantasy. I personally liked this book because of the author’s (Ann Aguirre) writing style and vocabulary. Enclave is set in a post apocalyptic world in…

This is well-written post-apocalyptic fiction. The first part of the story takes place in an underground settlement. The residents are divided into three categories: breeders, builders, and hunters. The hunters scavenge for food and…

Interesting and intriguing, this book series is a must read to those who love mystery, romance and thrilling action packed novels. Ann Aguirre did a fascinating job at viewing the world with a new eye after a city is worn down from a…

I thought the world building in this was amazing. The questions asked about what makes us human, and what is unforgivable were very thought provoking. That being said (SLIGHTISH SPOILERS AHEAD), the way rape and rape culture was dealt with…

This book is long on action, but short on heart. While reading I felt like I didn't really know who Deuce and Fade were, and that made the action sequences oddly listless -- "Ho-hum. Zombies attacking someone I don't care about." The…

awesome book, but i thought they would begin the book with a little of how their lives had been before the naming day, or whatever it is. I agree that it was kinda rushed in the beginning.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Agree with some of the others that the transition to "topside" was to quick, but overall, I fell in love with the characters, and enjoy how they remain true to themselves while still allowing room for…

This book was WAY rushed. From the setting switch to the events that unfolded, it seemed like a breeze. I did like the characters but not the connections between them. I thought that this novel wasn't the best and I was being very nice to…

I’m not sure if I’m just getting burned out on dystopia, but this book didn’t grab me. It was okay, not great but not bad either. For me it felt as if the plot was a bit less complex than a book like Divergent.

There was enough of a good plot to keep me reading but I do agree with many of the other reviewers that the change from underground to topside was too quick. Plus I found the sudden emergence of Freaks topside when none had ever been seen…
I really liked it an i thought part one was amazing. i was hooked. then i got to part two and i thought everything was kind of drab, and what was with fade and tegan!!!!?
i hated the end but i am SUPER stoked for the sequel, outpost

This was a great book for a lazy summer day. I finished it in one day. I liked the characters. Familiar feel to Hunger Games, which is something I like, but it wasn't too much like it. Story line keeps you reading and interested and…
