This book is precious to me, Gollum-style, not only because it belongs to one of my favorite book series, but also because it was given to me as a reward for doing good on something. With too much excitement I started reading the book and was eagerly rewarded with one of the most engaging stories I've read in the series.
I seldom receive books as gifts, but every time I do I cherish it with great care.
Plot Synopsis
In the seventh book in the bestselling series, evil scientists are still trying to convince Max that she needs to save the world, this time by providing the genetic link in speeding up the pace of evolution. Worse, they're trying to convince her that her perfect mate is Dylan, the newest addition to the flock. The problem is that, despite herself, Max is starting to believe it.
Fang travels the country collecting his own gang of evolved humans, but the two separate flocks must unite to defeat a frightening doomsday cult whose motto is Save the Planet: Kill the Humans. And this time, the true heroine, for once, might just be little Angel.
