BEING HUNTED BY IMMORTAL IS BAD ENOUGH. BEING SIXTEEN MAKES IT WORSE.
The immortals have taken Mila’s sister.
Going after her risks the safety of the only life she has ever known, not to mention the boy who hardly looks at her.
But if Mila can’t save her sister and the secrets she carries they will take her tribe, her family, and everything it means to be human.

Quotes from Mere Mortal
“Helidrone.” Avi tosses his pack into a snowy crevice between hills and does the same with mine. He tugs up the white hood of my uniform then pulls me into the crevice with him, scooping the drifted snow around us to bury us. He yanks up his own hood and presses up against me. His breath tickles my ear. I hope it isn’t an audio-seeking drone, because my pounding heart will give us away for sure.
“Maybe next time I run into an Immortal, I’ll just overwhelm him with the strength of my emotions. Teenage angst to the rescue!”
Her hollow eyes send shivers down my spine, but something about her face feathers a memory I can’t place. There are blue lights on the back of her neck. I guess they don’t just torment Nomads here.

My e-book arrived at midnight on Sunday and I’ve been reading every spare minute. Absolutely not my genre, but I can’t put it down. Characters are engaging, the writing seamless, and the dystopian future world, though complex, is still comprehensible to my 20th century brain.
I highly recommend this for young adult readers and all who enjoy a well-written, smoothly-paced story, with accessible, relatable characters in an intriguing and vivid setting.

I absolutely loved this book. I couldn’t put it down as I followed a desperate girl trying to save her sister in a futuristic Colorado. She learns more about herself, the meaning of death, and purpose of life, and what family and friends mean. I just gobbled it up. And the inclusion of powerful poetry was *chef’s kiss*.
