NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Hundreds of years before the Illum ruled supreme, humanity risked everything to rebuild after a devastating war in the first explosive dystopian romance in a prequel series to Conform.

“A dystopian love story that will have you yearning for more.”—Us Weekly

Twenty-three-year-old Sasha Cadell knows time is running out in the underground city, filled with survivors of the nuclear fallout six years ago. She works in the Expansion Sector, trying to escape the memories of those she lost. Her bleak existence is upended when Tristian Hayes, a stunningly handsome, frustratingly determined commander of the Force, recruits her to join him and his elite team of soldiers as they embark on a secret mission to the surface.

Sasha is thrust into brutal training with stakes far beyond mere survival. The fate of the remaining humankind depends on their success—or failure. As she confronts her own demons, Sasha finds both allies and foes in the training program, as well as a sizzling attraction between her and Tristian that threatens the walls she’s built around her heart.

But under the surface, secrets and deception run as rampant as illnesses. And not everyone will survive the rise of a power more terrifying than anything they’ve ever known.

I’ve enjoyed both books by this author and I understand cliff hangers are needed. That said after being left out to dry on book 1, my expectations of the prequel book 0 is to bring us to book 1, not happy with where it stops.

Overall it would have gotten 4 stars but I couldn’t because of the ending and lacking character development it gets 3 stars overall.

Narrator/Performance was good 4 stars. The story is good so 5 stars there.

Lots of potential

The plot moves forward well, despite leaving many loose threads. The main character backstory starts to get repetitive about halfway through without adding any new insight into their actions. Other character development would have brought more to the table than this repetition. Sex scenes seemed to be for the sake of having sex scenes without bringing much realistic thought to how characters would behave in the situation. The narrator is great.

Good pace, but repetitive
