"The prophecy was written in Sharpie on the wall of the gas station bathroom." Mia Caswell is an eighteen-year-old girl running away. She’s running from her neglectful guardian, her abusive boyfriend, and everything that’s ever held her back. Without any idea what else she should do, she decides to hitchhike to the coast. When she runs into Dinah, a middle-aged wise woman also hitchhiking across America, she joins her, feeling safe with Dinah for the first time in a long time. But all Mia’s plans disintegrate when she reads what she thinks is just pointless bathroom graffiti about a prophecy predicting the end of days. Strange markings appear on her skin, and when a band of weapon-yielding strangers kidnaps Mia, she comes to realize that the prophecy was about her and she is the one fated to save the world with the help of these intimidating strangers. Beautiful markings, powerful abilities, a growing attraction, and a devastating betrayal lie ahead of her. Mia’s future is forever changed, and if she doesn’t act fast, the rest of humanity’s future could come to an abrupt end.

To start, this book isn’t perfect. The writing is flawed and could use some TLC in terms of descriptions/scenery. Even so, the it’s good enough to keep the flow of the story and engaging enough to make you want to keep reading. I feel as though the story could benefit from a longer journey, it just felt too rushed. And I feel Mia should have more fight in her. I mean she escaped a bad relationship, abandoned her life, and struck out on her own with nothing, that takes courage and fight and will power. That should have been displayed more in the book. It was written almost passively, even though it was in first person, I felt a kind of distance from Mia. The story itself was interesting and I’m intrigued to see what happens next. I just hope we get more from Mia in coming books. More fight, more action. I want to see her acting out her emotions, if she’s scared she should fight or run or something to show she’s scared. If she’s mad she should yell or storm off or something to show she’s mad. All in all it’s worth the read and I recommend it.
