Title: Breeder
Author: AK Nevermore
Genre: Dystopian
Book Blurb:
On an alternate earth, a cataclysm has altered a subset of the population. Talents are persecuted for their psychic and physical mutations, giving rise to two conflicting societies based upon maintaining genetic purity. And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them…
Before Kara met Flynn, she was property of the Source.
The genetic research facility owned by a powerful international conglomerate dominates the Northern Hemisphere. Valued solely for her DNA and her talent to bind matter together, when she receives her summons to breed, she panics.
Rescued from the brink of death, she’s offered the chance to escape and find her own destiny.
But the journey through the desolation of the Outside is fraught with peril, and the golden halos marking her as a Talent also paint her as a target. Kept ignorant of everything beyond the facility’s walls, Kara grapples to survive in the hostile wasteland. Humanity purists and roving gangs are only a fraction of her problems, because the Source, and Riegel, her contracted mate, aren’t just going to let her walk away…
My Review:
Time is running out…but can Kara escape a fate worse than death? Her unique talent will be wasted if all she’s good for is a breeder. Wow, this prequel reads like a movie. Get ready, for this book will sink its claws into you. You won’t be able to escape. The world-building lays the groundwork for the whole series. The descriptive narration is immersive and deep. The action is well-plotted. It’s the characters, specifically Kara, that makes this short prequel unputdownable.
Let’s start with the characters. Kara is the main character in this prequel, and she’s brilliantly written. The reader gets to see everything she sees and experiences through her eyes. She’s a strong heroine who goes through so much. I connected with her on so many levels. The tension within boils over and she needs to make a decision. I won’t give away what happens next, but it’s a shocker.
Then there’s the world-building. AK Nevermore creates a world unlike anything I’ve read in the dystopian genre. The tremendous detail allows the reader to entirely plunge themselves into the story. AK Nevermore takes our modern world and plunges it into a dystopian masterpiece.
If you’re a fan of dystopian, do yourself a favor and pick up this free prequel. You’ll be hooked like me and will have to read the whole Price of Talent series.
