The Burnouts (Quarantine #3)
This is one series I don’t want to finish. I will truly miss everything about this series, but there are some questions I needed answers to so I reluctantly read the book yesterday. Okay, so maybe I devoured it. The author hopes that you have read the first two books in the series as we are off and running with the parents living on a farm close to the school so they can be near their children. Oh, if they could only see their children inside McKinley. I don’t think their parents could handle it! The brothers Will and David are both alive and working with the parents to maintain a livable community to help their children inside McKinley. Inside the school, things are in disarray. Gangs, dangerous and hazardous situations and repulsive conditions are the norm. Reading some of the affairs that the teens were a part of had me squeamish and appalled but it was all a part of this experience that I had been waiting for. Hilary has found a loaded weapon and this means of power has gone straight to her head. She is not afraid of using it and after showing everyone she means business, Hilary the Queen is speaking and people better listen or “I’ll put a bullet in your head.” The brothers hear that there is a cure for the virus and after a heated debate, they decide to go get it and bring it back. Is this not exciting news or what?! It just can’t be that easy, I have waited for this news but I know after all this time, it cannot just fall into their laps. Just before leaving, they discover that Lucy is pregnant and still inside the school. Lots of emotions and questions are flowing through the minds of these boys as they think about Lucy, her fate and the cure. What is their next move, the cure or Lucy? David believes the cure is more important and Will’s heart is with Lucy. Too many decisions and they need to make up their minds, and fast. Lucy, oh Lucy, I was torn as her character dealt with life with its battles and comforts. The author’s narrative and realistic descriptions as events unfolded conceived inside of me an urgency as I read, as if each minute mattered. As the twins decide on whether to get the cure or to rescue Lucy, I am anxiously awaiting their decision, knowing the minutes are ticking away and time is not on their side. This series brought so many emotions and feeling to the surface for me as I read, I am glad I experience Quarantine as it truly was an adventure.
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and Egmont USA in exchange for an honest opinion.
