Thgindim Mountain is divided by rank. The rich live lavishly near the summit while the poor starve at the bottom and are beaten to dust by the brutal police force crawling their streets. Raine Ylevol has just been proclaimed as an adult, giving her the opportunity to leave her dull life and low-status at home and receive a career to drive forth her future. However, just as she believes she could be settling into the next dull stage of life-- an avalanche plows through it all, and with it, a girl caught among the rocks, a boy with a wolf who dwells in shadows, and a treasonous secret that ties the three of them together. In an instant, Raine's eyes are opened. Ugly truths of her government reveal themselves, talents and feelings she never knew she had come into bloom, people she once thought were allies now pose a threat, and Raine must decide if she will remain true to her family and the life she's always known, or take the most dangerous risk of her life and let her heart guide her-- no matter the consequences. Piercing Midnight is the thrilling beginning to The Infinity Chronicles, a new series for young adults
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVED IT. I received this book in the 'Goodreads Giveaway' organised by the author, R.S.S. And I am so grateful for it. When I started reading it, I thought it was a sweet and easy-going book (I have a serious prejudice against such books). But soon the story started gripping me like nothing I've ever read. Just couldn't put it down. Loved everything about it - the realistic and identifiable characters, the description of the sceneries that took your breath (figuratively and literally), the antagonists and their ruthless everything, and the unforeseen twists. This was my first ever cliffhanger. Hopelessly waiting for the sequel.
P.S.: Loved Sebastian Lao, the Councilman with no mercy and no hair.

This is a beautifully written novel, that's full of suspense, fun, humor, cute and lovable characters, and surprises around every corner. This novel flows perfectly with a fun, new, completely original plot. I can't wait to see what happens in the next novel, but I bet it'll be amazing!!!!
Did not want to put down once I started reading. Looking forward to Book No. 2 in this very original novel. Lots of suspense, loved the characters and enjoyed the scenery.
