About this ebook

Ann Aguirre's thrilling young adult novel Enclave is the story of two young people in an apocalyptic world--facing dangers, and feelings, unlike any they've ever known.

New York City has been decimated by war and plague, and most of civilization has migrated to underground enclaves, where life expectancy is no more than the early 20's. When Deuce turns 15, she takes on her role as a Huntress, and is paired with Fade, a teenage Hunter who lived Topside as a young boy. When she and Fade discover that the neighboring enclave has been decimated by the tunnel monsters--or Freaks--who seem to be growing more organized, the elders refuse to listen to warnings. And when Deuce and Fade are exiled from the enclave, the girl born in darkness must survive in daylight--guided by Fade's long-ago memories--in the ruins of a city whose population has dwindled to a few dangerous gangs.

Ratings and reviews

This book was so good and kept me interested the whole way through that it was hard to even put down to do other things like sleep. I wish it were longer or that we learned more about the underground world such as other tribes besides the 3. Anyway I thought it was over at the author notes but if you keep going you get to find out what happens to the enclave that you don't read about with Deuce. On to the next book!

I've re-read this entire series at least four times in the last year, I simply cannot get bored of it. The plot is so enticing, and the terminology is so easy to understand. It has layers and layers of meanings and things to understand that I just keep coming back again to read it.

Unexpected read. :) Exciting and just a bit scary. The young characters make sense given the context of their world.
