Blood Red Road by Moira Young
Very Interesting Read!
Synopsis:
Saba has spent her whole life in Silverlake, a dried-up wasteland ravaged by constant sandstorms. The Wrecker civilization has long been destroyed, leaving only landfills for Saba and her family to scavenge from. That's fine by her, as long as her beloved twin brother Lugh is around. But when a monster sandstorm arrives, along with four cloaked horsemen, Saba's world is shattered. Lugh is captured, and Saba embarks on an epic quest to get him back.
Suddenly thrown into the lawless, ugly reality of the world outside of desolate Silverlake, Saba is lost without Lugh to guide her. So perhaps the most surprising thing of all is what Saba learns about herself: she's a fierce fighter, an unbeatable survivor, and a cunning opponent. And she has the power to take down a corrupt society from the inside. Teamed up with a handsome daredevil named Jack and a gang of girl revolutionaries called the Free Hawks, Saba stages a showdown that will change the course of her own civilization.
Blood Red Road has a searing pace, a poetically minimal writing style, violent action, and an epic love story. Moira Young is one of the most promising and startling new voices in teen fiction.

When I first started reading this book I felt like I was reading a book written by Elle Mae Clampett...lol! Seriously bothered me at first. Now as you have all seen- I am not an English Major so I should not complain, but the misspelled words, or the way one should be pronouncing their words was so bothersome to me. Yet I got over it quickly and enjoyed this story.
Saba the main character is hard to love at first, well, even towards the middle of the book, but I started to understand her more-why she was the way she was-and I really loved the characters around her. I will not say more to spoil it. I am looking forward to a second one.
