Publication Date: June 10, 2014

Publisher: Greenwillow Books

Synopsis 

An action-packed, blood-soaked, futuristic debut thriller set in a world where the murder rate is higher than the birthrate. For fans of Moira Young’s Dust Lands series, La Femme Nikita, and the movie Hanna.

Meadow Woodson, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision.

The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is—although he doesn’t know it—one of the MC’s programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family?

Action-packed, blood-soaked, and chilling, this is a dark and compelling debut novel by Lindsay Cummings.

I just started reading an eARC of this book and let me tell you, I cannot put it down! Right off the bat it starts off in the middle of the action. I'm loving the dual points of view and I think it really works for this book. The Murder Complex is one of my most anticipated books of this month and I can't wait until everyone gets a chance to read it!
