Rose's Food & Book Blog: Vengeance by Jamie Canosa Blog Tour: Excerpt and Giveaway

In dystopian America, sixteen-year-old Kaleigh finds out quickly what having a big mouth and not enough brains to keep it shut can earn you. A one-way ticket to the work camps that no one even knows exists.

Nuclear war has ravished the nation, and a century later, the survivors are living in an entirely new world. In a society where everything is decided for you, from where you work to who you marry, dissidence is not taken lightly.

But, even inside the camps, Kaleigh’s fiery spirit refuses to be extinguished. In a single moment of defiance, she manages to spark a riot that ignites into a full-blown rebellion.

With growing numbers counting on her, not just for their freedom, but for their very lives, two different boys vying for her heart, and trouble brewing from within the camp itself, can Kaleigh find a way to step up and become the leader everyone is counting on her to be, or will even the most carefully laid plans come crashing down around her?

Peter looks down at me with those deep blue eyes of his. Eyes like diving into the deepest sea. So warm, so safe, so comforting. A soft smile plays on his lips as he bends his head to meet mine. They’re so soft pressed against my mouth. My fingers play in his soft brown, wavy locks, and his come up to cup my face. Being with him feels so familiar, almost like coming home. When he pulls away I can see the sheen of tears in his sweet eyes, but I can’t understand why. Everything’s so perfect. We’re finally together. Why would that make him sad?

Then, the most horrific sound imaginable penetrates our private moment. The deafening roar causes everything to shake; the walls, the floor, the roof. Everything starts to break apart and come crashing down on us. It feels like the world is ending, and in some ways it is; our world, anyway.
