"What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.
Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills."
I heard about this back in July, when ARCs had started to be given out. Like always I see a shiny cover and I am intrigued. The American edition of the book sure is shiny. But what intrigued me even more was the details about the book. This simply sounds amazing, dysotopian (YES) which is my big love at the moment. So excited!!!
Great pick, I have heard great things about this book as well and it is on my list.

The other cover is so much better! I am usually so jealous of the UK covers, but this time I think the US cover wins! Great pick!
