Summary

A new race rules Earth, and they are brutal.

More beautiful than we ever were, they are like gods. Strong. Fierce. Savage. How can a lone young woman survive against the brutality? Can humanity survive?

Shanice is one of the few humans left. But for how long? The arena rings with screams for her death. Soon the gates will open, and she’ll face a man who must kill her or be killed. He wields the advantage, with weapons to hurl, while she will have only her inner passion to keep her alive through the next few minutes.

Shanice is trapped in a horror world ruled by a “more perfect” race, and has no idea how the world got like this. Survival is her only focus. If only she knew that in that screaming throng around her is one man who wants to see her live. He just may hold the key to rocking the world to the core and giving humanity the chance to find a way back.

If an advanced race was created by humankind, would they care for their creators?

This post-apocalyptic thriller is set in a future which is alarmingly near.

A decent story but longwinded

This book has a good story, even quite unique in some instances but it is very long winded. Multiple times I wished the author would condense the narrative as it definitely went on for longer than was necessary, especially the big reveal at the end. I liked the story up until some of the humans escaped with Luke but thereafter it went downhill for me, which is a shame as I was rooting for it. The big reveal had such a long explanation at the end that when everything was explained and you could put the puzzle pieces together I didn't really care, it was lacklustre.

I was given a copy of this book for free of my own choosing and have voluntarily left this review.

Promising beginning but lost focus

The beginning was exciting and interesting, but it felt like the story lost focus and went on a few tangents that didn’t really add anything. The last half felt like the moment where the evil villain describes his dastardly plot in great detail, except it wasn’t the kind of plot twist you get in that sort of scenario. The narrator changes their accents and voice for each character which is actually very useful and works well to help differentiate them at the beginning when you’re just learning who each is, but it’s at such a slow pace that I had to speed it up to 1.5. The ending was anticlimactic and disappointing but the idea behind it was interesting. I think it’s the right universe and that a different story told within it would be more interesting, but as it was none of the characters apart from Killard were likeable so I dont see the point in the ending.
