BLURB 

A hundred years ago, humans damned their world with selfish desires. Greed, power, and genetic experiments created things no one thought would ever be more than a myth. Made from human experimentation, vampires and werewolves drove the rest of humanity underground. Now, these subspecies control the new world.

The Haven, first built as a nuclear bomb shelter, is the first bunker to decide it’s time for humankind to take a stand again; live, not just survive. Until this moment, members of The Haven have only heard varied stories of the world above. The new generation finally has a shot to change the storyline, and eighteen-year-old Helene is among them, claiming her chance of becoming a Scout. They have been trained to assess the outside world and deem it safe. She wants to change her life for the better.

But what will she find on the other side of The Haven?

MY REVIEW 

With dynamic and immersive worldbuilding, Voelk has an excellent knack for drawing readers into her world. Her idea is original and attention-grabbing, and she keeps readers at the edge of their seat with what's going to happen next. Told in multiple POVs torn between the above-ground world and the bunker that characters have come to know as The Haven, readers watch the characters rapidly unravel a mystery surrounding their best friend Helene -- and the answer might not be what you expect. Voelk has a way of catching readers with building tension, with a dash of romance, and vivid storytelling. If you like dystopian, you'll want to pick this one up ASAP.
