I won Enclave (Kindle Edition) by Ann Aguirre on a twitter contest held by the Author herself! I was so excited when I won that I began to read the book immediately.
We meet Deuce, a girl who has never seen the light of the sun, on the day that she becomes a Huntress, her main goal in life. Deuce lives in the College Enclave that is underground in New York City. People have lived underground for generations in tribes or Enclaves. Most of those in the Enclave do not know the truth of why they must live underground, instead they are given false hoods. Underground is a dangerous place filled with Freaks (monsters in the tunnels) and other Enclaves that want what others have. Deuce is partnered with Fade, a boy who grew up topside, and they begin their patrols getting to know one another. Soon, fate plays a dirty hand to Deuce, leaving her wondering how she will survive and whether she will see her best friends Stone and Thimble again. Together Deuce and Fade begin an incredible journey through dangerous times and places.
Usually I am not interested in apocolyptic stories, but this book immediately drew me in and would not let go. The likeable characters stuck with me, and I found that even when I put the book down for a time, I could not stop thinking about it. I really enjoyed Enclave and am really hoping that there are many more books in the series. I am also hoping that the next book in the series picks up where Enclave left off, or that we at least see what happened to this set of characters.
