When Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that gets her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government “rehabilitation camp.” She might have survived the mysterious disease that’s killed most of America’s children, but she and the others have emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control.
Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones.
When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now she’s on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like herEast River. She joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can’t risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents.
When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.

I would love it if the twist wasn't so obvious from the beginning.
if 2012 was a book.. this would be it.
Ya 2012 was a great time but also very sinister and no, I cant explain.
this was a re-read bc I DNFed the second book a million years ago and the series has been on my shelf for years, judging me for not finishing it. I forgot everything that happened so I had to start from the start again. Turns out that I remember every detail in the book (the characters looked , how the inside of the car looked) everything was the same as the first time that I read it but the only thing I couldn't remember well was the story.
anyways it was entertaining and ive bumped it from a 2 star to a 3 star (well a 2.75 but we round up things around here)
would recommend to anyone who misses the old Ya dystopian days
So I feel like you can't trust anyone in this book. So many complexities and stories. I really don't like Clancy. That is one messed up kid.
And that ending, it was just so sad.
