Forgotten

The Screamers #2

by Connie Ann Michael

Oli left the safety of her home to spread God’s word to a world that’s forgotten He exists. She never expected to become a pawn between a mother she thought was dead and two competing sanctuaries, all of whom see her as nothing more than a tool to gain more power. But when the Governor shows up to take Oli back to the barrier, she discovers a horrible truth: her mother used Oli as a bartering chip to save herself, and she’s about to do it again.

Oli finds an ally in a scarred boy named Matty—and now he’s her only hope of survival. Unfortunately, the only way to safety is to head into a city full of Screamers. Along the way, they encounter Luca, a man who realizes Oli’s true potential, and he’s going to use her to cement his position as a powerful leader.

Forced to go The Station, a true house of horrors that might hold the answer to the illness, Oli must save her friends and get out before she becomes the next test subject.

If you have a great love for dystopian worlds and edge-of-your-seat situations like I do, this series is for you.

I liked Oli right way. Her determination kept me cheering for her throughout the story, and I loved how she clung to hope in a hopeless world.

The Screamers were a thing of nightmares, and I hung on every word, turning pages faster and faster with each new scene! The fact that a human error caused such a downfall really sucked me in. It made the stakes that much greater.

I'm a sucker for a slow-burn romance. Oli and Matty were subtle and sweet, and I just loved them!

I can't wait for the third installment of this series!

Even better than the first.
