Every 20 years, the cleanse happens. Justin wants to everything he can to protect his family. However, his little gambling habit gets in the way.  He's able to afford a small shelter for his family, but he must face the day by himself.  This book is filled with shady people, cult members and regular people trying to survive. 

This one is a quick read - it starts fast and never really slows down.  The idea as a whole is very interesting, but not well explained.  I wish we knew more about the creatures and saw more action with them.  The actual cleanse is a very small part of the book.  

Thank you to Netgalley and the author James Yates for an ARC. If you go back into this world, I would definitely read more!
