Ari can’t help feeling lost and alone. With teal eyes and freakish silver hair that can’t be changed or destroyed, Ari has always stood out. And after growing up in foster care, she longs for some understanding of where she came from and who she is.
Her search for answers uncovers just one message from her long dead mother: Run. Ari can sense that someone, or something, is getting closer than they should. But it’s impossible to protect herself when she doesn’t know what she’s running from or why she is being pursued.
She knows only one thing: she must return to her birthplace of New 2, the lush rebuilt city of New Orleans. Upon arriving, she discovers that New 2 is very...different. Here, Ari is seemingly normal. But every creature she encounters, no matter how deadly or horrifying, is afraid of her.
Ari won’t stop until she knows why. But some truths are too haunting, too terrifying, to ever be revealed.

4 out of 5 stars
For how short this book was, there was so much that happened! Every chapter had 2 or 3 things happening. I never guessed how the book would end, and now I can't wait for the second one.
I don't know quite what it was, but I just could not stop reading this book. The writing was good, but it wasn't the most beautifully written book I've ever read either. And it wasn't the most mysterious, wonderful plot in the world. But I just could not stop. I started this one day, around four o' clock, and I finished it the next day.
Like I said, it's not the biggest book in the world, but that's pretty fast!
I loved the characters, too. All of them had their own little personalities, and I wished that I could live with them in the beautifully decaying New 2.
For some reason, this book kinda reminded me of Fallen, even though they don't really have much in common. Maybe it was just the weather? :)
I'd love to own this book, and I am impatiently waiting for the second one.
Happy Reading Everyone!
