About the Book

In the aftermath of Project ELE, Willow’s life has become a series of one traumatic moment after another. It spins around her in a cyclone of fury, ripping and ravaging her heart. She can’t help but wonder: will the pain and heartache ever end? Willow Mosby is not one to sit back and accept defeat. When Zack turns Tony against her, she decides that it’s time to stop Zack once and for all. With the help of her friends and the occupants of Camp Cheley, she begins methodically hunting down the man who has caused her so much torment. What she doesn’t realize is that she may not be the hunter, she might just be the prey. Willow’s time is running out and the man she loves is coming after her with a vengeance that can’t be satisfied. Will Willow be able to save Tony? Or will she be forced to take down the man she loves?

Violence

This is a dystopian book with the struggles that come with it. As the 'war' increases there is violence. People are shot, drained to death by reapers, there is kidnapping and they are going to 'auction' Willow off. Quite a disturbing scene when Sebastian is shot and Willow makes the decision to tie Zack to a chair and leave him for the reapers. Too many to list individually but even the murders that occur are described quickly and with minimal explicitness which is why I gave this a 4.

Language

Several references made to God but only in appropriate situations. Some name calling.

Romance/Sensuality

Some light kissing with Connor and Claire, more intimate kissing with Tony and Willow

Drugs/Alcohol/Smoking

This was a difficult one for me to score but I went with 2 because although there are adults and older teenagers using medicines / switching things for fakes for various strategies and also talk of injecting blood so had to score it as such even though some of the characters would be under age I can't see this as a situation that would be interpreted as a drug problem.

Supernatural Characters:
There are characters that obtain supernatural abilities rather than supernatural characters in the traditional sense.
Powers include, :- Mind-reading, Healing, Compulsion, Invisibility, and the power to change their own molecular structure so they can go “Through” walls etc. Super strength, speed, immunity, The ability to see when others are using a “gift”, Premonitions, Steal “Life Force” and Powers from others, Empathy, Telekinesis, a new unknown power possibly a shielding mechanism, a power that allows them to see an entire life story through one touch (has a side effect that the person with the power goes blind).
