July Young Adult BOM Partials by Dan Wells



The human race is all but extinct after a war with Partials—engineered organic beings identical to humans—has decimated the population. Reduced to only tens of thousands by RM, a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island while the Partials have mysteriously retreated. The threat of the Partials is still imminent, but, worse, no baby has been born immune to RM in more than a decade. Our time is running out.
Kira, a sixteen-year-old medic-in-training, is on the front lines of this battle, seeing RM ravage the community while mandatory pregnancy laws have pushed what's left of humanity to the brink of civil war, and she's not content to stand by and watch. But as she makes a desperate decision to save the last of her race, she will find that the survival of humans and Partials alike rests in her attempts to uncover the connections between them—connections that humanity has forgotten, or perhaps never even knew were there.
Dan Wells, acclaimed author of I Am Not a Serial Killer, takes readers on a pulse pounding journey into a world where the very concept of what it means to be human is in question—one where our humanity is both our greatest liability and our only hope for survival.

i finished the book today and... wow.

I read it a year ago and its sequel when it came out. Loved them both, but they are big books.

I have heard a lot about this book and I have had it for such a long time. Very glad it is a BOM so I can actually read it and find out for myself.

Has anyone else started this one yet?

I tried this one, but just couldn't get into it and it ended up in my dnf pile.

I am currently reading it and liking it!

My brother read that book. There's another book called the Fragments, I think. :P

I plan to start it as soon as I can find it lol

I thought I got this free on kindle or maybe it was nook? i-tunes...then again maybe not ...ugg I really need to organize my e-books

Just finished it. I loved it and will definitely read the next book.

I read it and enjoyed it but when I tried to read the 2nd book in the series, it just seemed like a repeat of the first so I brought it back to the library.

I just downloaded Fragments and hope to start soon.
