I have been wanting to do a book review on this book forever. This is one of the few books that I have read in which I know the author.
Title: The Plague Legacy: Acquisitions
Author: Christine Haggerty
Genre: YA/Dystopian
Rating:
Why Did I Read? I love this woman! I have loved her short stories and I was excited to see the novel form.
Summary: Cameron Landry lives in a world that was practically killed off by a plague. The world is separated between the mutants (living with the plague) and the immunes (people who can't get the plague). The immunes seem to hold all the power, especially in the area called Salvation, but Cameron isn't apart of that world so he has to figure out where he fits in. This first installment of the trilogy has Cameron being becoming an acquisition of the "government" and headed to Salvation and the speed bumps along the way.
What Did I Love: The character development is superb. I really am attached to the characters and want to know what happens next.
What Did I Hate: Hate is a strong word because she is my friend :) But I marked it down on my rating because it seemed to drag a bit. I felt like we could have/should have made it to Salvation before the book ends. It seems like a lot of set up and I'm hoping that the next two books help give the first one more perspective. But seriously check it out if you are in to the dystopian world.

First 3 cheers for you for reviewing your friend's book. Every review counts and sometimes we avoid posting one on a friend's book because of being too close to it. I'd enjoy this book I think. I really like plague dystopian stories!
Following you from the A to Z!
