Hunters of the Lost City by Kali Wallace


Octavia believes the walled city they live in is the only place that exists now.  They have monsters that kill at night so you don't want to be locked out.  They don't open them once they have been closed for the night.

Quirk Books and Edelweiss let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published April 26th.

Octavia has a monster after her and a stranger kills it for her.  Then she asks the girl who she is and where she came from.  To her surprise, she learns there are more settlements.  She visits her home and then takes her new friend to meet her family.  Unfortunately she ends up in jail.  Octavia doesn't understand why.  They say she's a human form of the monsters.  She tries to defend her but doesn't succeed.  

Then she finds another settlement and her sister she thought was dead is there.  Soon she finds that the leader of their city has lied about a lot.  The sister she said she'd killed is alive.

Then comes a confrontation between the two sisters.  Which one will take over leadership?
