Synopsis
A deadly prison. A forbidden romance. A fight for survival.
THERE’S ONLY ONE RULE IN ENDLOCK: OBEY OR DIE.
In Dividium, all crimes are punishable by life in prison. A prison that’s a life sentence in more ways than one. Where the wealthy can hunt the inmates for sport.
Raven’s mission is simple: infiltrate the infamous and deadly Endlock Prison to save her brother.
There’s just one problem: Raven has a target on her back. Her reputation as the most ruthless bounty hunter in Dividium precedes her, and the inmates she’s sent to Endlock want their revenge.
So when the prison guard she’s sworn to hate becomes her only chance to survive, Raven has no choice but to trust the one person she shouldn’t…
Review
Hunger Games meets Silver Elite.
Raven is a a bounty hunter – a traitor to her people, trying to provide for her and her younger brother in the Lower Sectors as the Middle and Upper Sectors benefit.
When her brother is arrested and sent to Endlock – a prison where the wealthy can pay to hunt criminals, where Raven had sent many criminals in exchange for money – Raven gets herself sent there to escape with her brother and a rebel operative.
There’s a guard who seems to hide a nicer side. There’s a wider movement Raven is unaware of.
There is found family.
There is tension and spice (not overdone to overwhelm the plot).
‘I suppose anyone foolish enough to cage a wild bird shouldn’t expect them to sing for their captor,’ he mused.
It is a future USA torn apart by Civil War. There are definite similarities to the trials in The Hunger Games and the simmering tension of Silver Elite.
Just like similar dystopian romantasies, I flew through this. I know this book will receive allegations of copying, but there is enough new content in here for it to be fun and unique to what this author wanted to convey.
A strong heroine who must learn she can’t do everything herself.
An ending that ends on a devastating cliffhanger.
A book that doesn’t shy away from violence.
It’s nostalgic in that it reminds me of the Young Adult books I read growing up with that adult content to feel new.
