After the Contamination—an epidemic caused by the super-trendy diet drink SlimPro that turned ordinary citizens into violent, uncontrollable creatures—the government rounded up the “Connies” to protect the remaining population. Now, two years later, the rehabilitated are being allowed home, complete with shock collars that will either control, or kill, them.
Velvet Ellis has struggled to care for her ten-year-old sister since her parents were taken in the round up. When she finds her mother in one of the “Kennels,” Velvet resolves to do whatever it takes to put her family back together. But the danger isn’t over. It’s beginning all over again…
Gritty and grabbing, Velvet is a harrowing, emotionally charged novel for fans of Carrie Ryan and The Walking Dead.

It’s no secret that I LOVE apocalyptic-type novels. Give me a virus or a disease and that’s even better! Give me a virus in an energy drink… AWESOME! Also, check out that cover. That freaking badass cover. That’s so cool!!
I had not heard to this book before, it does sounds pretty awesome, I plan to add it to my TBR list!!

I saw this on someone’s WoW last time, but I haven’t heard much about it otherwise. It sounds pretty interesting, though. And yeah, that cover is badass. 🙂
This sounds great. Hope you get to read it soon!

Sounds awesome! Just right now I’m in a dystopian slump and don’t really pick them up.
I’m kind of over the post-apocalyptic books *ducks head* but I would SO read this one for the cover alone! The fact that the story sounds amazing is just a bonus!
This looks awesome! I can’t wait for this one, either. xo
I’m so excited for this one too. It was my WoW pick a few weeks back. I love these types of books as well.
Awesome pick!

Holy crap I think I just fainted.
