Inhuman

Sometimes the biggest decision I have to make when on vacation is which book to pick off the pile. I must say, this one was a total surprise! Inhuman by Kat Falls is a story about a world where a plague has made most of the population go feral. Humans are infected with animal blood and turn into (sort of) that animal. Tigers, hyenas, lions etc. Most of the survivors live behind a wall erected by the company that unwittingly released the plague. Lane is a teenager who lives with her art dealer father behind the wall. One night she is rounded up by a patrol and told her father is a 'fetch', someone who goes into the feral territory to get things for people. Lane can't believe this. And to make matters worse, if she doesn't help out the lady in charge, her father will be caught and executed. Lane must risk venturing into the Feral Zone to find her father and warn him. She finds out the stories he's been telling her her whole life are actually a guide to the zone. The mystical creatures he made up are real, and the wild boy is actually waiting for her. Along the way, she teams up with Everson, a line guard, who follows her into the zone. He is, of course, dreamy. She also teams up with Rafe, rude, brash and devastatingly handsome. They both seem to want to keep her alive, but for different reasons. The three of them must survive the zone, a CRAZY tiger man named Chorda, and find what really makes someone human. The twists and turns are unreal and the losses beyond crushing. The end of this book was a jaw dropper and leaves way for a sequel that I, for one, will be anxiously awaiting. What an imaginative world Kat Falls has created, filled with engaging characters. Oh Cosmo! *tear* This is not your ordinary apocalypse tale, it certainly amps that genre up to a new level. So give it a try and let me know what you think. Happy reading my friends!
