From New York Times best-selling author Amy Tintera, a high-stakes sci-fi adventure about a teen girl who will do anything to escape her troubled home—even if that means joining a dangerous monster-fighting squad. Perfect for fans of Warcross and Renegades. Seventeen-year-old Clara is ready to fight back. Fight back against her abusive father, fight back against the only life she’s ever known, and most of all, fight back against scrabs, the earth-dwelling monsters that are currently ravaging the world. So when an opportunity arises for Clara to join an international monster-fighting squad, she jumps at the chance. When Clara starts training with her teammates, however, she realizes what fighting monsters really means: sore muscles, exhaustion, and worst of all, death. Scrabs are unpredictable, violent, and terrifying. But as Clara gains confidence in her battle skills, she starts to realize scrabs might not be the biggest evil. The true monsters are the ones you least expect.

"3/5 Stars"
Morgan
"Quick dystopian read with realistic character interactions and tales of domestic abuse. Clara is a strong, female heroine while also being young and naive—which is a hard balance to believably strike. Ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, but overall is satisfying. The writing style gets you hooked from the first page (it helps that she mentions Taylor Swift once!) and is a very fast-paced read. Can see it being great for reading slumps."

"So this book isn't bad, but I felt that it lacked alot of depth and character development. Don't let that put you off though, give it a read, you might like it."
Zaira Acosta
"A very quick read with a fun concept. A bit predictable but I blame the last line on the back of the book for my suspicion. Honestly not sure how it is all going to be wrapped up in the second book"

"I’m reading the second book of this series called all these warriors. I would definitely recommend that one if you haven’t read it. "

"I don’t think this book gets enough attention, especially considering it’s a relatively new one! There’s only two in the series, but the writing is well done and the story is so engaging! It’s so different from the sometimes monotonous romance/action/fantasy themes we’re getting now! "
