Pure Sanitation: The Duneworth Collectors
by T. E. Foster
I won this book in a Kindle giveaway.
A dystopian world in which nothing is as we know it. Toxic nuclear fumes spread all over the USA and turned the sky a deep red. All plants are purple and many people become mutants. Society collapses as everyone tries to hide from the toxins and those affected. The Duneworth Collectors come and abduct people from their homes. They tell them that they will give them treatment but when people refuse to come with them they
Ava’s mother had been hit by the fumes as well and when she was 15 their mother and father are abducted. She is taken in by a befriended family as she is good friends with Carey. However her parents get abducted as well, since then the two girls had been on their own. A few years later Carey is also caught. Together with Tyler, her sister’s boyfriend, she starts to search for her.
The cities are split up in different areas. In some the Infected rule, often they are wary and mistrustful of anybody who is not affected. But there are also areas that are safe. They find a friend for a while who leads them to a group of Tainted, who after some mistrust and promises that no they are no collectors, take them in. The Tainted have good reason to be scared of the Collectors, they took many people either by force or with lies and locked them up in a prison. While they are not mistreated there, they are not treated well either. The man manages to flee.
Later they form a group and start their journey to free those abducted. To do that they have to go into the Lion’s Den.
What I liked about the book was the fact that the main character was a black girl. I also quite enjoyed the idea and while the story building was not fantastic it was still good. All in all it was a nice read and I loved Ava and the rest of the Red Resistance.
Plus there was no Love Triangle despite their being two boys who cared about the MC deeply. That was wonderful.
