Set in a dystopian world where Freaks (zombies) are roaming, humans don't live past their early 20's, and people have resorted to living underground. Deuce is living in the underground NYC tunnels and knows nothing about the world above - Topside - until she's forced to venture outside of her Enclave. The elders send Deuce and her partner Fade to go investigate a nearby dwelling which they believe has possibly been destroyed by Freaks. The only thing is when Fade and Deuce report their findings their own elders don't believe them and things go topsy-turvy from here (pun intended). 
 Things I'm not okay with: 
 - Deuce not understanding Teagan being a FORCED breeder (rape). 
 - Said rapist being a potential love interest for our main character. 
 - Not really knowing why some people live above ground, below ground, and outside the cities? 
 - Deuce keeps bringing up the enclave and the people there, but I'm pretty sure she's never going back yet they keep writing as though we'll potentially see those people again. 
 (view spoiler)[Things I'm writing to refresh for when (if) I read book #2... 
 Fade is Deuces partner as a hunter sent on patrol missions to guard their Enclave. Eventually though they're sent on a suicide mission expected not to return - except they do with horrible news. The elders don't believe them than try framing Deuces best-friend for treason in order to treat her a lesson. they don't expect Fade and Deuce to stick up for said friend though and be banished topside themselves. Pretty positive their enclave died due to being over run by Freaks soon after they left - not blatantly said but highly suggested. 
 Topside Fade and Deuce are captured by a gang lead by Stalker - who threatens to rape Deuce - after he plays cat and mouse with her partner Fade. Teagan though assists in Deuce escaping and helping Fade take down all of Stalkers men until he runs away. They hide with Pearl who wants in Fade's pants (upsets Deuce) - meets up with Stalker and more men - fights Stalker and Freaks - finds Pearl dead after Stalker uses her as bait. Stalker decides he's safer with Fade, Deuce, and Teagan than out there alone so ends up a travel partner (wtf??? why would you guys allow this? kill him!). 
 Fade, Teagan, Deuce, and Stalker have all escaped the city to reach a town called Salvation. 
 End of story. (hide spoiler)]
