Where does Meadow come into the picture? Her mother had been murdered during the Dark Time and her father was left to be the only breadwinner in a family of four. The really crazy thing though, was that at night (which had been appropriately named the Dark Time), homicidal mind-controlled orphans-called Wards-would run amok the streets and murder a bunch of people. It was a dangerous place to live and had been filled with poverty, violence, and other dystopian whatnots.
To sum it up, The Murder Complex was set in a world where most of America had died off from a plague (that was not really elaborated on) and our protagonist, Meadow Woodson, and her family lived in a walled in area ruled by a corrupted government called the Initiative. Unfortunately, this book only turned out to be average and had also been extremely lacking in the originality department. It looked amazing and the synopsis had made it seem as if the plot brimmed with unique potential. Anyone who follows this blog would know I’ve featured The Murder Complex in any post that relates to books I’m looking forward to this year and/or this summer. What’s it with me and books I’ve been anticipating turning out a disappointment these days? First Hexed by Michelle Krys and now The Murder Complex too. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family?Īction-packed, blood-soaked, and chilling, this is a dark and compelling debut novel by Lindsay Cummings. The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is-although he doesn’t know it-one of the MC’s programmed assassins. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision.
Meadow Woodson, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. For fans of Moira Young’s Dust Lands series, La Femme Nikita, and the movie Hanna. An action-packed, blood-soaked, futuristic debut thriller set in a world where the murder rate is higher than the birthrate.
