I was asked to read and review this book but I tried to read it and have been struggling to get into the story. The beginning of the story feels like I missed a whole lot of information, it jumps right into the story and after some research it seems this is a spin-off of another series, called Fractured Reality. I think I will have to read that series first.

About the Book:
The world ended in silence. The fight for whatโs left will not.
Ten months after the collapse, teenager Annieโs world has shattered, and with it, everything she once believed about monsters. They donโt always lurk in shadows. Sometimes they wear uniforms. Sometimes they wear the faces of those you love.
In the ruins of Sydney, Annie finds an unlikely ally in Judeโa half-infected boy marked by virus and twisted science. His strange, dangerous abilities make him both a threat and their best hope. But the line between abomination and saviour is thinner than either imagined.
Haunted by what was done to him, Jude carries scars deeper than flesh. Meanwhile, Annieโs younger brother, Lucas, remains a prisoner, infected and altered. If she doesnโt reach him soon, Lucas will face the same fate that nearly destroyed Judeโexperiments that donโt just scar flesh but twist what it means to be human.
As secrets unravel and the origin of the virus comes to light, Jude learns a devastating his connection to the outbreak is deeper, darker, and far more personal than he ever imagined.
Together, Annie and Jude race through a city where every shadow hides a threat. When they are torn apart, survival becomes more than a missionโit becomes a to endure, to protect, and to bring each other back from whatever hell awaits.
From the shattered edges of the Fractured Reality universe comes a story of desperate hope and fierce loyaltyโbecause in a world this ruined, some things are lost forever. But some are worth risking everything to save.
