Publisher Description
Come for the apocalypse.
Stay for cupcakes.
Die for love.
Madeleine Cost is working to become the youngest person ever to win the Archibald Prize for portraiture. Her elusive cousin Tyler is the perfect subject: androgynous, beautiful, and famous. All she needs to do is pin him down for the sittings.
None of her plans factored in the Spires: featureless, impossible, spearing into the hearts of cities across the world – and spraying clouds of sparkling dust into the wind.
Is it an alien invasion? Germ warfare? They are questions everyone on Earth would like answered, but Madeleine has a more immediate problem. At Ground Zero of the Sydney Spire, beneath the collapsed ruin of St James Station, she must make it to the surface before she can hope to find out if the world is ending.
Warning: Contains swearing, sexual situations, and Australians.
Customer Reviews
Juvenile at best
Less scifi than high school melodrama. Silly premise and ridiculously quick and poorly explained resolution. A little Lord of the Flies mixed in withe The Breakfast Club. Not for scifi fans, more for fans of teen romance.
