Inhuman (Fetch#1)

 by Kat Falls

 

This first installment of the Fetch series, Inhuman, was good!  I usually don’t read dystopian books, I really don’t like them.  This book drew me in, held my interest and left me wanting more. 

I felt this book is almost zombie-ish than dystopian, but not reading the genre I really am not the one to say.  I did like this book.   I liked the love triangle and that everyone was trying to help Lane.  I also liked the fact that Lane was willing to put herself on the line for her father. 

I felt the plot was entertaining and interesting.  The writing was great and well thought out.  The characters were multidimensional and very raw.  I can’t wait for more of the Fetch series.  

Synopsis:

In a world ravaged by mutation, a teenage girl must travel into the forbidden Savage Zone to recover lost artifacts or her father’s life is forfeit.

America has been ravaged by a war that has left the eastern half of the country riddled with mutation. Many of the people there exhibit varying degrees of animal traits. Even the plantlife has gone feral.

Crossing from west to east is supposed to be forbidden, but sometimes it’s necessary. Some enter the Savage Zone to provide humanitarian relief. Sixteen-year-old Lane’s father goes there to retrieve lost artifacts—he is a Fetch. It’s a dangerous life, but rewarding—until he’s caught.

Desperate to save her father, Lane agrees to complete his latest job. That means leaving behind her life of comfort and risking life and limb—and her very DNA—in the Savage Zone. But she’s not alone. In order to complete her objective, Lane strikes a deal with handsome, roguish Rafe. In exchange for his help as a guide, Lane is supposed to sneak him back west. But though Rafe doesn’t exhibit any signs of “manimal” mutation, he’s hardly civilized . . . and he may not be trustworthy.

 

This book was in an ebook exclusive Waiting To Catch Fire? three books to read while you wait from Scholastic books.  Inhuman was the first book in this pack.  The other two books contained chapters from The Darkest Path by Jeff Hirsch and The Bar Code Prophecy by Suzanne Weyn.
