Short
Summary of the book:
Meet lovers Yuri and Ryoma. Their life
appeared on track for a bright future until fate caught up with them. Until
now, they were unaware of the Shuffle. Since a virus killed off all people
above the age of 21 nearly 40 years earlier, the Shuffle takes place to kill
off a number of people. Method of death could be a kiss.
Yuri and Ryoma are captured and infected with
a deadly virus and their kiss or blood will lead to the death of those kissed
or injected.
However, not all is how it seems.
What
I liked about the book:
How Yuri and Ryoma continued to fight to do
what they fought was right.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
How their love was sacrificed for the good of
the nation.
My
favourite bits in the book:
When Yuri met her dad.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
When Yuri’s mum died.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
I don’t know if there are any further books
planned in the series, but the door has been left open to a next one if the
author so wishes.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
Although this is another apocalyptic type
book, it is different from many others in the genre.

Description by Author:
Life is valuable. Death is a necessity. In
Yliria, this is not a contradiction.New Year’s Eve 2054. A virus, later named
the BlackJack, struck and killed 3/4 of the world’s population. Only those who
were 21 and younger were not infected. Treaties broke off. Countries severed
connection to the outside world. And the country of Yliria built its own
invisible walls.Thirty-eight years later…Yliria is now at peace. But nothing is
gained without sacrifices.Yuri’s life was perfect. Family. School. Career. Then
there’s Ryoma. Her one true love. Nothing could go wrong when she has
everything planned out. But on the night of their anniversary, it did not end
with a kiss. Ripped from their normal lives, both Yuri and Ryoma woke up from a
dream to face the real nightmares. As a punishment for their parents’ treason,
they must serve the government—the System—as the new Aces of the Court
Department, assigned to oversee and maintain the peace and balance during the
weekly shuffle.One week. 13 lives. Armed, not with a weapon, but the same virus
that destroyed the world. The Aces must escape their new fate. If not, the only
path left in their future is the one covered in blood.
