I actually won a KINDLE copy of this book through a giveaway here on Amazon and the following is my honest opinion.
Set in the not too distant future, the storyline essentially deals with a real problem which exists today; overpopulation, food shortages and famine. While some countries, like those in Europe, have been able to successfully deal with their population issues over the course of twenty years; the far more underdeveloped ones like Chad have not and there are out of control.
The three main protagonists in the storyline Keza Kinigi, Dash Booker, and Helena Stapleton, all are connected to a corporation called Apstemia, that oversees the Global Hunger Initiative, and has issues in the way it obtains and distributes grain. And because of this, executions have taken place.
As this compact short, emotionally fraught story develops, these three individuals have luckily escaped their own executions at the hands of Apstemia. However, this corporation has other plans to punish them for their deeds, a plan which even today might be unimaginable.
For having given her readers an imaginative story which begs for more, I’ve given the author, Kelsey Brickl, 5 STARS for her endeavor here.

I fell in love with the characters within the first few pages. I wanted there to be so much more to this story (length-wise) but I know that it ended where it needed to. My heart was pounding throughout. This was an exhilirating read and I loved it.

Thrilling and emotional, and yet a quick read. Loved it.
