End of Crows / End of Crows (ePub)

2022 READER'S FAVORITE INTERNATIONAL GOLD MEDAL WINNER YOUNG ADULT ADVENTURE
End of Crows is an incredible combination of Hunger Games, Divergent and a little Harry Potter magic mixed in!

What used to be the beautiful Colorado mountains is now a hiding place for the Crows. The Dominion punishes those who rise up against them, and their rules. PIMs, known as personal identification microchips, are surgically implanted in the mandible of humans at birth, and programmed to detonate should someone decide to go against the Dominion's laws. Seventeen-year-old Willow Danner was raised under the Dominion tyranny, but her parent's had been born free. Growing up with a plan to escape, Willow and her family finally flee to the cover of the mountains and the safety of the Crows' Faction. Instead of finding asylum, Willow finds she is the scrutiny of some members of the Crows. Worried she exchanged one form of imprisonment for another, she decides to take fate into her own hands, and trust her instincts instead of others. As she fights for her independence, someone else wants to take her back behind Dominion walls.

"The comparisons of Willow to Katniss Everdeen of Hunger Games fame are clearly evident as Willow's talent as a fighter and her determination to win come to the surface. Without training of any kind, she displays great skill in the use of a variety of weapons as well as her bare hands. But, Willow possesses more than these physical abilities and as the story unfolds, her supernatural gifts become more evident and specific to the plotlines. Also like Collins, R.A. Lingenfelter writes tight, straight-to-the-point sentences and paragraphs that propel the reader through each event and scene without undue and unnecessary detail.
In particular, Lingenfelter's ability to build characters simultaneously to the ever-increasing tension of the primary plotline is evidenced by her multiple appearances at the top of Amazon's bestseller lists. End of Crows, while standing on its own, is also the perfect lead novel in the four-book series. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy fast-paced action/adventure stories with hints of the supernatural and powerful lead characters like Willow!" ~Reader's Favorite
