OrangeReviewStarThe earth has fallen into postapocalyptic chaos and catastrophe. Floods have taken the lives of millions of people, and monsters, created by witches, seek human flesh. Maggie, also known as "The Monster Hunter," is gifted with supernatural powers of speed and assassination through her Native American clan power, or "K'aahanaánii." Maggie is strong and skilled but plagued by past love and loss. She sets out to uncover clues about the newly ruthless monsters that have been taking over the land. Along the way, she hesitantly accepts the help of a medicine man, Kai. Together they collect clues and discover what they least expect. Maggie has to confront her past head-on in order to survive—no easy task. With intriguing and mysterious characters, this series opener will keep readers wondering.
VERDICT Purchase this original and thrilling spin on the postapocalyptic genre everywhere speculative fiction is popular.
