Summary
Humans saved bees from extinction。。。
and created the deadliest threat we've seen yet
★★★★★ "Lines up effortlessly with The Hunger Games and Divergent。"The loss of bees was heralded as the sixth wave of extinction。 Economies crashed。 Ecosystems collapsed。 Wars were waged as countless starved。 Luckily， humans were able to alter bees' genetic code to deal with the hazards of pesticides and disease。
Inadvertently making their venom fatal to humans。
River grew up in the Green Zone， a haven for those who are Immune。 Bees are free to fly， pollinating their prolific crops。 Echo was raised in the Dead Zone where bees are exterminated so vulnerable humans like her can live。 Stealing from the heavily guarded Green Zone is a necessary part of survival。
River and Echo are both in their seventeenth year。 They're both about to have their immunity tested。 And they're both about to have their futures forever altered。
Ultimately， they're about to become part of the final fight for human survival。 Are bees really the enemy they need to defeat？ Or is mankind a far greater threat。。。
Lovers of the Hunger Games and Maze Runner， prepare to be blown away。 The authors of the best-selling series， The Thaw Chronicles， have crafted another unique dystopian adventure full of romance， twists， and page-turning excitement。

Another amazing masterpiece！ I must admit， I was curious what kind of new world these amazing authors would build， having love their series set in Askala for so long。 I sure was not disappointed。 Though the premise is different， it is a wonderful， well written dystopian novel that got more interesting as the story went on。 I cannot wait to see how the series unfolds！

YA/Dystopian is my genre of choice and this did not disappoint。 A bit reminiscent of The Hunger Games， this tells a story of people that want to be more in life。 If only they can pass the test。 The characters are vibrant and very well portrayed。 I couldn't put it down， it had me on the edge of my seat。 I can't wait for the next one。 Highly recommend！。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 YA/Dystopian is my genre of choice and this did not disappoint。 A bit reminiscent of The Hunger Games， this tells a story of people that want to be more in life。 If only they can pass the test。 The characters are vibrant and very well portrayed。 I couldn't put it down， it had me on the edge of my seat。 I can't wait for the next one。 Highly recommend！。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

This book subject matter was a complete new type of dystopian story that I have ever had the pleasure of reading。 I really cannot say to much without giving away or spoiling the story， but it rings some bells with what is going on presently in the world today。 Looking forward to reading next book in series。

Interesting ideas， cool action， and fun setting！ Really enjoy dystopian stories， and this is a fun one dealing with killer bees。 Like when characters have to be strong to make their world better; some intriguing scenarios。 Plus， there’s that dash of possible romance going on。 Entertaining！ Looking forward to reading the next book！

While not my standard genre， every now and again I enjoy delving into some YA dystopian/post apoc。 The premise for this book intrigued me and I was excited to get started。 It did not disappoint。 A well written story that kept me turning the page。 I enjoyed the world that has been created here and if the next books in the serious were available already I’d have kept reading without a second thought。 My only warning on this is that it ends on a pretty big cliff hanger。

This book was another example of what could happen if people don’t change their ways。 The characters were strong and resilient and some very hard truths were revealed。 Superiority over the others was a huge part of the downfall of many。 I loved this book and so will you。 A message worth hearing and sharing。
