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.

Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills.

Doesn't the UK/AUS cover look absolutely amazing?!?! The girl (who I assume is June) looks like a kick-ass heroine, I think I'm definitely going to like her! I started reading dystopian fiction this year, and this certainly looks interesting enough to rival The Hunger Games & Inside Out! I'm looking forward to this!
* Oh, and it's being released in the US on my birthday! I think this is going to be an awesome birthday present for me :)
The book trailer makes one look so good! I had to look it up after seeing it on your blog!
