Hi everyone! I'm thrilled to share a review of Scavenger by Bradley Caffee and Mountain Brook Fire! Check out the details below before getting to my review.
ABOUT THE BOOK
It only took three years for the virus to exterminate ninety percent of the world's population.
In a world decimated by the lethal virus, Jimmy Hunter is a scavenger. Using his skills as a drone pilot, he searches his nearly vacant city for tradable goods to help him and his two friends, Elena and Wyatt, survive each day. With criminals and violent militia roaming the streets, each trip away from the hideout is fraught with peril.When his drone veers off-course, Jimmy discovers lost information about underground bunkers where civilization and resources are being preserved—kept secret by a group known as the Keepers. Knowledge is dangerous in his world, especially with the leader of the Brotherhood, Mr. Quinn, out to claim any resources as his own and lock down his iron grip on the city.
With the Brotherhood on his heels and the pressure to provide for his companions, can Jimmy uncover the truth about the bunkers? Or now that he's become a Keeper, will he surrender his knowledge to save the lives of his friends?
MY REVIEW
Whew! The last quarter or so of the book will take you on a RIDE. I was bleary-eyed from reading and about to set it aside...until I couldn't. The dynamic characters and their individual arcs, twists and turns, and the overall premise were all attention-grabbing. Though there were some slower spots I hit (it could've just been me) my curiosity over the story kept me reading, and I'm so glad I did. It's an impactful, hard-hitting story that will keep you guessing, especially regarding one particular character that you'll love, hate, love to hate, and maybe even miss...but I can't say much because of spoilers. Just pick it up for yourself, especially if you enjoy dystopians with conspiracy, environmental elements, and a lot of heart...well, snag a copy and then join me in waiting for the next book in the Keeper series!
