Seventeen-year-old Lyla feels ambivalent when the charismatic leader of her isolated suburban community is told that the end of the world is near and when it arrives they must all be ready to defend themselves against the unchosen.

This was an interesting read. I found it to be very realistic in the set up of the community. Pioneer is a chilling character and the quotes from cult leaders at the start of each chapter added to my sense of dread as I read. Initially I had a hard time getting into the story, but I stuck with it and the plot started moving along at a good speed. I would have liked to have known more about some of the other people in the community.
