This book is a must read for fans of sci-fi visions of the future. (Fans of Firefly, I'm talking to you!)The planet has been completely destroyed by war. For those who can and are willing to pay, two self-sustaining towers can offer safety and luxury. But for everyone else, there is the surface where people scavenge, barter, and trade to get by.This is the first work that I've read by Jamie A. Waters, but her writing introduced characters to the reader as if they were old friends. Each character was painted with familiarity. Immediately, I found myself connected to "ruin rat" Kayla who is a spunky, tough, and at her core, sensitive character. She scared me at times and surprised me a few times as well.While reading this book, I found myself literally sitting on the edge of my seat as I devoured the pages.  It was so intense and highly entertaining.The author has a keen sense of dialogue and description.  (And I have to say, some of the best editing I’ve seen in a while.)I highly recommend this book, and can’t wait to read the next!
