Review

The story begins in the near future, where the humans are turned into Ticks and the vampires try to take control of the entire world. Lily and her autistic sister, Mel, are blocked in a Farm, where they donate blood for the Ticks. But when both are almost 18, they try to escape. Mel notices that a section from the fence isn't electrified, so they try to escape, but their plan fails when Carter, their school mate from the Before, tells them that they have no chance. They pass trough many obstacles and they eventualy manage to escape, with Joe, McKeena and vampire Sebastian. They are heading to Canada, where they believe will be safe, but they have no ideea what obstacles are waiting for them...

My rating: 5/5

My opinion

This book was so intense and captivating! I couldn't put it down until I finished it, and after that, I thought: " This book shouldn't have an end! ".

Emily McKay wrote it with so much talent, and her story, more or less original, kept me breathless until the very last moment. The tight bound between Mel and Lily made me realize how important are the people we love, even as they are. And Lily, she resembles me so much! As I was reading, I was realizing that I would do the same, but, though, I don't think I would be so brave to escape the Farm with all those Ticks outside.

And the end, what can I say! I can only hope that the Emily will write a sequel, because the book really deserves one. I recommend this book with all my heart, but you have to know something: it's a little horror...

Recenzie

Povestea se petrece intr-un viitor apropiat, in care oamenii sunt transformati in monstrii, iar vampirii incearca sa preia controlul asupra intregii lumi. Lily si sora ei autista, Mel, sunt blocate intr-una din Fermele unde le sunt recoltate sange pentru Monstrii. Insa cand cele doua sunt aproape de a implinii 18 ani, incearca sa scape. Mel observa o portiune a gardului care nu e electrificata si incearca sa evadeze, insa planul le esueaza cand Carter, fostul coleg de clasa, le spune ca nu au sanse. Acestia trec prin nenumarate obstacole si in cele din urma reusesc sa evadeze, cu ajutorul lui Joe si McKeena (care e gravida) si al vampirului Sebastian. Acestia se indreapta spre Canada, unde ei cred ca este siguranta, insa nu au nici o idee in legatura cu ce obstacole ii asteapta...

Nota mea: 5/5

Parerea mea

Cartea asta a fost asa intensa si captivanta! Nu am putut sa o las jos pana nu am terminat-o, iar cand am facut-o mi-am zis: "Cartea asta nu trebuia sa aiba un sfarsit! ".

Emily McKay a scris cu mult talent, iar povestea mai mult sau mai putin originala m-a tinut cu sufletul la gura pana in ultimul moment. Legatura stransa dintre cele doua surori, Mel si Lily ma face sa realizez cat de importante sunt persoanele dragi, chiar asa cum sunt ele. Iar Lily, oh, seamana atat de mult cu mine! In timp ce citeam, realizam ca asa as face si eu doar ca, totusi, nu cred ca aveam curaj sa ies din Ferma, cu toti monstrii aia.

 Iar despre sfarsit, ce pot sa mai spun! Acum nu pot decat sa sper ca autoarea va continua seria, pentru ca merita categoric. Recomand aceasta carte din toata inima, insa un lucru trebuie sa stiti: este cam de groaza...
