Review: Unique Spin on a Dystopian Story...
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 7, 2014
The Fear Trials reminded me a little of Divergent (because of the dystopian world setting) and the movie The Purge (well because of the murder). The world that Meadow Woodson lives in is a bleak and complex one. One where it’s not safe to venture out alone, especially once the sun sets.Living on a houseboat with her parents, older brother and younger sister, Meadow has been training to survive. Taught by her father, everyday is a lesson in survival. She needs to be tough, confident, and most importantly she needs to be able to kill someone if necessary. It’s either kill or be killed. No one’s life is guaranteed and planning for the future is a little too optimistic because you never really know if you will make it to see another day.This novella is the prequel to The Murder Complex, which releases Tuesday, June 10, 2014. If you have been considering checking out TMC, I would definitely recommend reading The Fear Trials first. I was able to read it in one sitting. It’s unique, intense and highly entertaining.I received this book on behalf of the Author and FFBC in exchange for only my honest opinion.**
