A virus has infected everyone. Killed almost everyone.
Expect for Piper Manning.
Piper got sick the day after she buried her aunt, but she didn’t die. She woke up again, and she woke up different.
With a strange power she can’t control, she has no intention of leaving her aunt’s mountain hideout. But when her dwindling food supplies force her to leave and she discovers an injured boy, she learns that the virus is the least of the world’s problems.
Now hunted by horrifying monsters, Piper and the boy (Seth) go on the run. They’re searching for safety, searching for answers, and keeping dangerous secrets from each other every step of the way.
There’s something about Seth that isn’t quite right. He says strange things, and there are obvious things he should know about the world, but he doesn’t. Piper doesn’t trust him, but she also needs him if she wants to stay alive.
Anomaly is a wild dystopian ride with too many twists to count. It keeps you guessing in every chapter and high action pulls you from page to page, compelling you to never want to put the book down.
Alongside the drama of the end of the world, another storyline plays out through memory flashbacks (memories stolen by the monsters hell-bent on capturing Piper and Seth). Here we learn about the trauma that led to Piper living in the mountains with her aunt. We learn her deepest sorrows and the regrets that shape her.
This is an action filled YA novel that packs the dystopian punch. You won’t guess what the monsters are, but I guarantee you will love the journey to discovery.
