BUT COST TOO MUCH, especially for not even 200 pages.  This author would be a lot more popular if she would reduce the price on this series.  I got this book for free, but would have gladly paid $3 for it.  I have not bought the sequel because of its $6 price.This was an excellent, wonderful, fascinating, adventurous, and romantic story about a future dystopia created when vampires and werewolves turn on the human population and they must seek protection underground.  Their savoir 40 years ago was Isaac Icahn who had used his own money to build "Genesis" and other underground living areas to save the human race.  He separated the underground humans based on a warrior gene they carried in order to provide adequate protection against the vampires and werewolves above ground.Rachel Clancy came from two super capable warriors and was to become a warrior herself on her 16th birthday - today.  Her mother had been killed and her father was now a drunk, so her life had never been easy.  Her best friend Tia's mother and father were very good to her and she had a crush on Tia's older brother Micah, one of the best warriors.  But Isaac Icahn, who was now in his 80's had a grudge against Rachel's family and was determined that she would die her first day above ground.  The council sent her up alone under the pretense of a test of her teacher's capabilities, but when she got topside, she found a world very different than the ones she had been trained to expect.  She fell in love with a werewolf, then Action, Action, Drama, Drama, Action!This story was similar toEnclaveby Ann Aguirre andThe Burnby Annie Oldham in storyline and characters, but is really original on its own too.  I love reading about vampires that are described more like their original monster with being ugly and evil.  One thing it did need was better editing because their were a lot of words with missing letters making the reader's mind stutter to find meaning.  Still, I would highly recommend this author and look forward toDriven (The Warrior Series)when the price comes down from $6.Would I/Did I buy it? Free DownloadWould I read it again?  Yes!Would I recommend it to friends? Yes!
