Part of a Series: Book 1 of The Generations Trilogy
Plot: From New York Times bestselling author Scott Sigler comes something utterly new: a gripping sci-fi adventure trilogy in the vein of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Maze Runner. A group of young adults awake in a mysterious enclosed space with no knowledge of who they are or how they got there…and an indomitable young woman must lead them not only to answers but to survival.
A young woman awakes trapped in an enclosed space. She has no idea who she is or how she got there. With only her instincts to guide her, she escapes her own confinement—and finds she’s not alone. She frees the others in the room and leads them into a corridor filled with the remains of a war long past. The farther these survivors travel, the worse are the horrors they confront. And as they slowly come to understand what this prison is, they realize that the worst and strangest possibilities they could have imagined don’t even come close to the truth.

Review
This one was not on my books of the month list, but at a Goodreads group they had a buddy read planned and since it was on my TBR list, I decided to join in.
I don't really know what to say about this book, it wasn't what I expected. Since it said that it was for the fans of HUNGER GAMES, DIVERGENT and THE MAZE RUNNER I thought for certain that I was going to love it, instead it left me empty.
The author specifically asks not to reveal too much of the book in the reviews since it might spoil the plot and the different twists in the story. So I'll try to keep it vague.
The beginning is similar to the Maze Runner: a young woman wakes up inside an enclosed space, similar to a coffin, with no memories on who she is or where she comes from. She's not alone. Some coffins have alive people and they have no memories as well, and other have bodies.
The group has to try to understand who they are and where they are while the battle for survivor and fight among them to decide who's the leader.
There are a couple of surprising twist during the story, even if some were not really believable, but I never connected with any of the character, not even the with the main character M.
Some images of death were really disgusting so if you are very sensible I wouldn't recommend it.
If others books left me wanting more, this one didn't really satisfy me. It is classes as the first one in a series, but I really think it could end like it did.
I'll have to think about continuing the series.
