The Fallout (#2 The Warning) | Kristy Acevedo

They chose survival...but at what cost? A fast-paced, empowering YA dystopian novel for anyone who's ever felt betrayed, then came back stronger. The sequel to The Warning. Senior year would have been stressful enough without an apocalypse. When the holograms arrived, allegedly offering safe passage to those who stepped through their vertexes, Alexandra Lucas thought going or staying would be the hardest decision of her life. She was wrong. Because she is the one person who knows the truth, a truth that will change everything: the holograms lied. Alex can't deny this new world is mesmerizing. Holo technology lets her customize everything from her clothes to her surroundings. But she can't let it distract her from searching for her boyfriend, best friend, and brother. They need to know what happened. Because there's a rebellion brewing, and every utopia has a breaking point. What price must they all pay to survive? Praise for The Fallout: "An absolute mind bender." -School Library Journal "It's a rare treat to see a protagonist who suffers from an anxiety disorder, showing readers humanizing frailty even in the context of a technologically advanced world. It is Alex's strength, sense of humor, and vulnerability that make this read compelling." -Kirkus Reviews Praise for The Warning: "A fast-paced adventure that will keep readers- compulsively turning pages to see what happens next." -School Library Journal, starred review "An engrossing exploration of what if..." -VOYA Magazine Finalist for the 2017 Philip K.
