Tierney James is not like the other girls her age. She is a loner and doesn't really fit in. So when she is sent to her grace year to rid herself of her magic which according to the men in her community all women have, she finds a strange and foreign world where nothing is as it seems. She is one of the lucky few because her father taught her some life skills that make survival alittle less deadly for her than the other girls, but sometimes the most deadly thing isnt the wild its the other girls around her. Tierney spends her grace year trying to survive and help the other girls to survive. Things turn Topsy turvy and soon she finds herself in a deadly game of cat and mouse. This book had me crying so many times. I went through a whirlwind of emotions, from happy to sad to completely terrified. But I couldn't put this book down. I would stay up way too late reading and be exhausted at work the next day but it was totally worth it for that extra chapter I got to read. Overall I would recommend this book to everyone. It is not a book that falls in one category but multiple categories and has something for everyone.
