No one ever suspects a girl in a pretty dress. Not even if she's wondering alone in the middle of a forest known to be filled with hostile beings who could kill you with a single breath. A girl's deadliest weapon is her looks. Layla Crest is one of those girls. However, she isn't as defenseless as she seems. Layla is a Hunter. She has sworn to protect the only fraction of Americans left to be without the virus, better known as the United. She has sworn on her life, which is in jeopardy everyday, to hunt down those Infected and end them. Permanently. This is a risky business, as more and more hunters are becoming Infected, escalating the problem to an all new high. But the rewards far out way the risk. Each hunter is given a healthy sum with each Infected they kill. One quick snapshot on your cell phone-- and you'll be eating for a year. Those who refuse to join the Hunt starve within the collapsed economy, as almost all of those in charge were Infected. In fact, most of the citizens of the United suspect the virus started within the government... Now, all they have to do is prove it. Layla has her life planned out in three words. Hunt the Infected. Layla can't hope for more as not a single Hunter has ever lived longer than the age of 18. Her expectations of life are down low, and that works. For a while. When Layla herself becomes Infected, she can't send back money to her family. She can't imagine doing anything but dying. Brian Lester, another Infected, shows her just how great being an Infected can be. Then whispers, rumors of a cure find their way to Brian and Layla. Their realities change drastically once again, and they set off immediately to find the cure. This dystopian, romance, thriller and adventure novel is one sure to make you forget about reality, and suck you into the world of diseases, supernatural powers and a killer relationship.
