NEW RELEASE!! Calico Descending by Keri Lake! + My Review

BLURB

I was fourteen when I was sold to the men in black uniforms. Too young to understand I served a purpose beyond that of the other girls they’d taken.

For the greater good.
Now, after four years in Calico, I’ve seen more death and suffering than during my days of surviving out in the Deadlands against the threat of Ragers and famine. I didn’t think this world could get any bleaker. Didn’t think it could take any more from me than it already had.
Not until I finally learned my purpose.
That same day, I walked the dark halls in the bowels of this hell, where the suffering is in silence, and ghosts of the dead whisper through the walls. A place where nightmares are real.
A place where I met my Champion—the most revered Alpha in S-Block—locked away in his dark cell.
For the greater good.
He’s their weapon, their only line of defense against the mistakes of the past: the mutations that could wipe out all of what’s left of us.
Me, I’m his whipping girl. His reward for good behavior.
And his punishment for acts of defiance.

MY REVIEW:

Yikes! What a horrifying thrill ride! A terrific second story in a fantastic dark dystopian series. The world building is terrific but certainly cringeworthy. What those young people went through is beyond words. This does show the indomitably spirit of mankind. There’s light to all that dark in the form of the wonderful Cali as she fights to maintain her humanity and compassion in the face of evil. She is a fabulous heroine along with her Alpha, Valdys and Titus and I even liked Cadmus. I don’t know how those guys held onto any semblance of humanity but I guess that’s what Cali was for. This really could be read as a standalone but you would miss some of the background from Juniper. I think this followed about the same timeline as the first book since one of the villain is alive. It was a little confusing for me and I missed not seeing the survivors from the first story. At the end this sort of sets up as a reverse harem story especially with that jaw dropping ending. What now? I can’t wait for the next installment!
