She wakes as society crumbles
She wakes up with no memory
She wakes up a queen
The girl once known as Katie Lopez wakes up in an abandoned
Wal-Mart with no memory, possessing only the vague sense that something
has happened. Where is her family? Where is her
boyfriend? She has a faint recollection of him, a ghost of a memory.
The world, she discovers, is staggering from the weight of rampaging mutants,
victims of a bizarre surgery gone wrong. Once intended to bring about a
utopia, now the victims threaten societal meltdown. Much to her surprise,
the girl with no memory discovers she is their queen.

My Rating: 3 1/2 Stars
This book reminded me so much of Resident Evil, well the second movie. As someone who grew up on the games, and have watch all the movies, it wasn't hard for me to make that instance connection. Was this a good thing? Well i'm up in the air about it. I guess when I made that connection I started comparing, so this made me have to put the book down so I could refresh my mind and get back to this story and the difference elements it presented.
This story did start with a bang, fast pace, mysterious and down right awesome. Carmine has to adapt and overcome, she has no memories and the world she remembers has gone literally to hell. I was drawn in and I couldn't stop, but, there were some things that didn't make sense to me. One is a major spoiler so I won't say it, only that it came out of no where and I just can't seem to figure out why.
It's at that turn that the story goes from high seep to, slow going, lazy like. It was, weird, this was a first for me, I'm not use to reading a story where the flow goes from 60 to 10. I lost some interest in reading and that's why this story gets a 3 1/2 star and not the 4.
I have to say, despite the weird pacing, I do recommend this book. I enjoyed this read, and I'm looking forwards to the next book, I'm hoping some of my confusion and unanswered questions will be touch up on and explored.
Happy Reading
