About this ebook
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ā¢ For fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Red Rising comes a gripping sci-fi adventure in which a group of teenagers wake up in a mysterious corridor with no knowledge of who they are or how they got trapped. Their only hope lies with an indomitable young woman who must lead them not only to answers but to survival.
Ā
āI open my eyes to darkness. Total darkness. I hear my own breathing, but nothing else. I lift my head . . . it thumps against something solid and unmoving. There is a board right in front of my face. No, not a board . . . a lid.ā
Ā
A teenage girl awakens to find herself trapped in a coffin. She has no idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there. Fighting her way free brings little reliefāshe discovers only a room lined with caskets and a handful of equally mystified survivors. Beyond their room lies a corridor filled with bones and dust, but no people . . . and no answers.
Ā
She knows only one thing about herselfāher name, M. Savage, which was engraved on the foot of her coffināyet she finds herself in charge. She is not the biggest among them, or the boldest, but for some reason the others trust her. Now, if theyāre to have any chance, she must get them to trust one another.
Ā
Whatever the truth is, she is determined to find it and confront it. If she has to lead, she will make sure they survive. Maybe thereās a way out, a rational explanation, and a fighting chance against the dangers to come. Or maybe a reality they cannot comprehend lies just beyond the next turn.

Strong female lead and a mysterious introduction makes for an interesting beginning. However, the middle drags for quite a bit; pacing is a bit too slow. Good book if you finish it - push through to the end.

This book had me on the edge of my set, but at the same time I was angry for the characters because they literally couldn't win for losing. If you are really interested in dystopian future, syfy books, this is one I definitely recommend.

I was drawn into the story immediately. I can't imagine coping with being told I am a clone of someone else as well as the characters in this story do! Looking forward to reading Alight!
