The Verity: Part One

By: M. J. Lawrie

Narrated by: Amy Putt

Their death. Our glory!

The Lottery is the chance of a lifetime. The one and only hope a girl has to escape certain death as a sacrificial soldier, fighting the bloodthirsty, flesh-tearing monsters that roam freely beyond The Wall. Put in your name, and if chosen, become wife to the powerful and gorgeous leader of the last of humanity, Lord Noah Sands. A supposed living god amongst the last of humankind.

For 17 years, Scarlett has lived as just such a soldier. Trained from birth to kill without question, and ready to die without complaint. Along with her group of misfit friends, she loves exploring the lost world beyond The Wall and fighting for humanity’s freedom.

For Scarlett, winning The Lottery is a fate worse than death. It means turning her back on her secret lover, and worse, giving up the freedom being a killer gives her. No chance. But Lord Noah Sands has only ever had eyes for Scarlett, and when he threatens the man she truly loves, Scarlett must make an impossible choice. Put her name into The Lottery and marry the monster. Or become something not even he can control. Something that will kill her quickly, if she’s not careful.

To save the man she loves, she'll risk everything. Her life. Her freedom. Even her humanity. "

The Walking Dead meets The Hunger Games in this gripping dystopian fantasy of love against all odds and life or death stakes.

Great Surprise

The narration was fantastic and a good pace. I normally don't like books about zombies but this book was a great surprise. Main character was well done and the story developed evenly throughout the book.

I wasn’t sure at first but DAMN !!!!!

I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy a post apocalyptic adventure, but this book is amazing there is No Lull in the middle no fillers just a solid great story from beginning to end and the narrator Amy Putt is great you can tell the characters apart without even being told who is saying what ….. is it too early to call it a masterpiece???? I’ll do it anyways A MASTERPIECE

Not my normal genre but wow!

The author sent me a code to listen for free but my review will be honest. When I first started listening I thought omg, I don’t read about zombies and I would have never chosen to purchase a book about them! I’m so glad I was given the first one free because I absolutely love it! The storyline is different and is full of twists and turns! The world building is done well and you can see how this series can go far because there’s so much more that can happen in this world. The characters are diverse and the relationships suck you in. There’s life and death and love and hate and everything in between. The zombies are different and darn scary! The author has done a beautiful job with this book and I can’t wait to read the second book! Give it a try, it’s well worth it!

The chefs kiss of fantasy!!!

The voice actor couldn’t be a better choice for this book! The story line is never too over whelming, the world building is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! The female, well, she’s strong and beautiful and fearless!!! Golly I can’t say enough about this freakin book but START READING!! Now! What are you waiting for!??

Not a zombie fan but wow!

Can't wait to listen to book 2 😍 overall surprised 🤯. this book definitely kept me entertained 😀
