 The Enemy is about a teen that goes through the zombie apocalypse. He is 16, lives in London, England, and his name is Barry. He starts in his house and is walking to school when the outbreak begins. He and his friends try to survive in this series of horror, mystery, and zombies. I find zombie books interesting but this series catches my attention. This book is perfect for people who love zombies, horrors, mystery, and excitement. It says on the book, "for 13 years and up," but for me it can be for everyone.

She chooses to get a fresh start at the faction Dauntless. There she must go through initiation which includes intense physical and mental pain. But when a conflict comes up between two factions she must use her special secret to help save her once peaceful society.

Readers who enjoy post-apocalyptic settings such as the Hunger Games or Maze Runner will enjoy this book. It is mainly targeted at a teenage audience as it includes the main character's transition from kid to adult. However, readers who do not enjoy violence may not like this book as it includes multiple incidences of fighting and killing.
