APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Matthew Reilly is known for his fast-paced action novels, and The Secret Runners of New York is just that. Skye’s new classmates at an exclusive New York prep school are disappearing. Along with her twin brother, Skye discovers a mysterious and powerful club with ties to an impending apocalypse. Reilly’s juxtaposition of the high-society life with a bleak, brutal dystopian future is both jarring and gripping. We were fascinated with the book’s exploration of social inequity and cultural collapse, but it was Skye’s desperate struggle for survival that kept us riveted until the last page. This is Gossip Girl meets The Hunger Games, and we’re all in.
