Every girl dies - not every girl really lives.
Sixteen-year-old Decca Tenderstone feels captivated when she meets gorgeous and reckless Leo, who is arrogant, silent, beautiful, and shoots almost every one he meets.
the usual boring girl meets badboy story... hmm... with a twist ...
They live in a dystopian future in Los Angeles where every sixteen-year-old is ranked on a scale from one to ten to determine their future. Outranks, who are considered a danger to society, are forced to attend the Monster Show, a brutal sacrificing ritual that is broadcasted worldwide on live TV, where rebellious teens are labelled Bad Kidz or Monsters and get to fight for their lives in deadly games.
To prove that you're still alive you have to scream I Am Alive every six hours. Lower your voice, and you're dead.
Deccaa doesn't need Leo's company. She has a secret of her own. While they both can't stand each other, she will find out why she doesn't fit into any rank.
Nothing will stand in her way as she has to make choices concerning love, life, staying alive, growing up, and finding out who she really is.
Excerpt
I am going to surprise you. You have no idea…
Every time the bus hits a patch of uneven pavement,
it jostles me from side to side. I am holding on to the overhead railing
while on my tiptoes, trying my best to keep my balance. Faustina, the
school’s queen bee, laughs at me, checking out her fingernails. She
must be calling me a dork under her breath. She is predicted to become
a Nine today, and Nines are always mean to me.
I live in a world where every teen is ranked on
a scale from five to nine. Nines are the luckiest and highest rank in
our nation, and Fives are the lowest rank allowed. I’ve been told
that I would make a perfect Seven.
The bus stops in front of my school, Cubberley High.
I wait for the Nines and Eights to get out first. Nines are usually
the most beautiful. Eights are the most elegant. Predicted Sevens like
me have to wait in line. At least I get to get up before the Sixes and
the Fives.
Wonderlander, Neverlander, Unicorn-chaser, enchanter, musician, survived a coma, & totally awesome. Sometimes I tell stories. Always luv the little monsters I write young adult paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and science fiction mostly. The Grimm Diaries series is a seven book saga that deals with retellings of fairy tales from a young adult POV - it connects most of the fairy tales together and claims to be the truth about fairy tales. I live in San Fransisco and seriously think circles are way cooler than triangles.Author Bio
