Chronicle Toward Books Arena One: Slaverunners (The Survival Trilogy #1)
New York. 2120. American has been decimated, wiped out from the second Civil War. In this post-apocalyptic world, survivors are far and few between. And most of those who do survive are members of the violent gangs, predators who live in the big cities. They patrol the countryside looking for slaves, for fresh victims to bring back into the city for their favorite death sport: Arena One. The death stadium where opponents are made to fight to the death, in the most barbaric of ways. There is only one rule to the arena: no one survives. Ever.Deep in the wilderness, high up in the Catskill Mountains, 17 year old Brooke Moore manages to survive, hiding out with her younger sister, Bree. They are careful to avoid the gangs of slaverunners who patrol the countryside. But one day, Brooke is not as careful as she can be, and Bree is captured. The slaverunners take her away, heading to the city, and to what will be a certain death.
Brooke, a Marine’s daughter, was raised to be tough, to never back down from a fight. When her sister is taken, Brooke mobilizes, uses everything at her disposal to chase down the slaverunners and get her sister back. Along the way she runs into Ben, 17, another survivor like her, whose brother was taken. Together, they team up on their rescue mission.
What follows is a post-apocalyptic, action-packed thriller, as the two of them pursue the slaverunners on the most dangerous ride of their lives, following them deep into the heart of New York. Along the way, if they are to survive, they will have to make some of the hardest choices and sacrifices of their lives, encountering obstacles neither of them had expected—including their unexpected feelings for each other. Will they rescue their siblings? Will they make it back? And will they, themselves, have to fight in the arena?

I'm not completely done with the book however I wanted to write some of my review down now. There is very little left of the book and it wont effect how I feel about this book.First of all I was wrong thinking that the author had copied from the Hunger games. There is some parts some small parts that it is cleared she copied and they are right at the start.I wish Goodreads had the same things at a website called Gamespot, in their reviews you could label a game such as "Too much Hype","BeenNow, I must say this: This book was completely free, I would not waste my money on a stupid book like this. Firstly, Morgan's style of writing is awful. It's non-descriptive, stupidly fast-paced and sounds like a load of utter gibberish. Secondly, Morgan has no imagination. I didn't bother reading the blurb of this book, I just new it was a YA, dystopian, post-apocalypse novel (which was exactly my thing), so I thought: "Why not give it a go"? I started reading and thought it had a remarkable
Where to start . . . there were several things that turned me off this book. 1. I don't like present tense writing. That's just me, though, so technically, this shouldn't count against the book.2. Caps Locks do NOT belong in a novel. Email, Facebook, ok, but not in a novel. 3. The foreshadowing killed me. (view spoiler)[She dreams that her sister is taken. Her sister dreams that she's taken. she has a horrible feeling as she leaves that morning (not to do anything urgent, mind) and OMG!!! Her
I don't know why I'm giving it two stars. I think it's just because I can't admit that I actually took the time to finish a one-star book. Primary flaws:1) It falls guilty of relying way too much on telling and not showing. I know it's told from the first person, but it reads like a middle school boy's poor short story filled with "and then I did this. Then this happened, so I did this. And then I did this."2) Every single chapter tries to end with a cliffhanger, but it's so poorly done it's
I love how this book is really fast pace, all action packed, a wonderful idea for movie I would watch. But I hate how stupid Brooke is when it comes to Ben and Logon. Her thinking sounds like a 12 year old. I also didn't like some of the writing. The author was redundant and stated the obvious a little too much. Also, Brooke was a little too lucky almost all the time.
