Outside (Outside, Bk 1)

Futuristic post-apocolyptic Teen fiction. Riley lives in England, in a town that has had to put up barriers and fences to protect itself from looters, killers, scavangers. When Riley's younger sister is murdered, Riley and friend Luc decide to leave the protection of their village to go and hunt down her sister's killer. The Outside is nothing like Riley could ever have imagined. But, the answers to Riley's questions end up to be closer to home.

The book starts out a little slow, but the story is good. The story is told from the point of view of two different characters, which is a little confusing. It all comes together in the end, in sort of a surprising way. I find that I am looking forward to what happens next.
