About this audiobook

Humanity has nearly destroyed its world through global warming, but now an even greater evil lurks. The indigenous people of North America are being hunted and harvested for their bone marrow, which carries the key to recovering something the rest of the population has lost: the ability to dream. In this dark world, Frenchie and his companions struggle to survive as they make their way up north to the old lands. For now, survival means staying hidden - but what they don't know is that one of them holds the secret to defeating the marrow thieves.

this book is for predators who like children. if that is you read page 72 and 73. something is wrong with cherie diddyline. Does she write her books with one hand?

Bad plot, bad characters, bad development, bad pacing. First time I read this I had to skim over the text because it was so boring.

Why is this book 14.95? it should pay you 14.95 for how bad it is.
