I am a addicted to this series.  And this one, just pushes me over the edge.  I want to know what the FAYZ is now!  I want to know if everything that happened in LIES, is the truth or just LIES??? This book doesn't answer any questions you might have.  It just makes you ask more.  I don't even know when the next book is coming out so I'm going to be jonesing fairly soon.  I've been spoiled with being able to read the first three fairly regularly in a row.

In LIES, we are probably seven/eight months into the FAYZ.  Drake is dead.  Things are peaceful in Perdito Beach, but Sam Temple knows that up at Coates Academy, Caine is plotting and planning something.  Sam also has to deal with the Human Crew.   A gang of people who want the mutants (or people with special powers) eliminated.  A council has been formed, but nothing is being worked on.  No laws have been formed and Sam isn't able to do what he wants without the approval of the council.  Which his girlfriend, Astrid is the leader.

Sam and Astrid both feel the tension of the FAYZ and when Sam is told that a dead girl has been seen walking around the beach, well he doesn't know what to do.

Honestly, these books just keep me hanging on to the edge of my seat.  This book wasn't quite as long as the first two, but I have a feeling the next one will be a backbreaker.  So much information to get in.  Was the Prophetess telling the truth and talking to the people outside of the FAYZ?  

I want to know NOW! :)
