Summery:
In the city of Lovecraft, the Proctors rule and a great Engine turns below the streets, grinding any resistance to their order to dust. The necrovirus is blamed for Lovecraft's epidemic of madness, for the strange and eldritch creatures that roam the streets after dark, and for everything that the city leaders deem Heretical—born of the belief in magic and witchcraft. And for Aoife Grayson, her time is growing shorter by the day.
Aoife Grayson's family is unique, in the worst way—every one of them, including her mother and her elder brother Conrad, has gone mad on their 16th birthday. And now, a ward of the state, and one of the only female students at the School of Engines, she is trying to pretend that her fate can be different.
Review:
To be perfectly honest, I am very disappointed with Caitlin Kittredge's young adult debut. NOT!!
The story is just amazing, to have the complex plot it has, it's just mind blowing. The science, the "necrovirus", the monsters, the faeries, the whole shebang, it's amazing how Caitlin Kittredge managed to keep track of it all.
I don't usually like books with romance/adventure, but Caitlin wrote it in such a way that you don't really notice the romance, and when you did it was some huge event in the book.
I love that Aoife is a strong, smart-mouthed character who can take care of herself and is brave and selfless.
In the beginning I hated Cal because he was always calling her crazy and claiming everything she said was a result of the necrovirus. I liked him more in the end when he saved them (I'm not going to tell you how so you'll have to read the book :p).
And Dean. OH MY GOD DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED!! I love Dean!! I mean, really love him. I can't really explain it. He's really sassy, rebellious, smart-mouthed, and really nice, and as I read more and more I fell more and more in love with him.
All in all, I can't wait for the next book to come out because Caitlin Kittredge left this book on the biggest cliffhanger you could imagine, AND I WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!
What are you thoughts about this book? Leave comments, I love them. (:
