Virozone
THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT HAS BEEN RAVAGED BY VIOLENCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER.
Society has been split into exclusive zones, protecting these limited assets - Air, Water, Soil and Fire. Each zone trades what they can to survive.
Life is difficult, particularly as a fifth zone, the Prestige Zone, takes what they like to ensure their privileged life may continue to thrive.
But when sixteen-year-old Lawlie Pearce’s mother is killed, it becomes clear that the tenuous peace between the zones is on the verge of unravelling.
With a thirst for vengeance, Lawlie leaves AirZone to discover the truth and seek justice for her mother - even if she must bring down the biggest enemy of all, Sceptre, the leader of the Prestige Zone that dominates the world that is Virozone.

Virozone is the debut YA novel of Australian author, Sarah Cole. It takes place in a dystopian world where four zones have certain powerful elements (air, water, soil fire) that can easily be taken away by the fifth and all mighty zone, Prestige.
For sixteen year old Lawlie she has not thought much about how the worlds operate. She just knows the dangers that face her daily life. However, that all changes when her mother is killed and she sets out to seek justice from those responsible.
Lawlie is strong and determined, but also learning that not everything is as it seems. She must make decisions that affect the people she cares about, but most importantly, Lawlie must be prepared to discover more than she set out to uncover.
Sarah Cole creates a dystopian world that is easy to imagine. Her writing is easy to read with descriptive details and a high stakes, action packed storyline. Cole includes twists and turns in the story that leave the reader wanting to know more. Best of all she introduces us to a strong, female protagonist who is more than capable of getting the job done,
Strongly recommend you read this YA fiction if you like action, adventure and intrigue.

Sarah Cole was kind enough to send me her updated version of Virozone. This is the second time I’ve read this book and I enjoyed it even more the second time. I still stick by my original review:
Virozone was a fun, action packed, YA/dystopian adventure.
The main protagonist, Lawlie, is packed with a punch! She is tough, determined, and refuses to let anyone hold her back - whether it be for her own safety or not.
This story is fast moving with interesting settings and a few unexpected surprises along the way.
The ending goes off with a bang!
If you enjoyed Divergent or Hunger Games, you should really check out Virozone.
