Grace Hudson delivers a new take on dystopian fiction with, FERTS. This story looks at a world controlled by men. These men see women as nothing more than sexual objects created to breed, fight, and please the men of the surrounding communities and within the containment facility. We are shown what life looks like inside the facility from the point of view of one of the prisoners. Not worthy of a name, Beth 259201, goes about her day and tries to fit in. but she is not as complaint as the other Beths. This leads to some trouble for the young woman and is the catalyst for the entire story as outsiders attempt to take back the world they lost and 259201 looks to find her place. 
Hudson does a great job of creating a unique universe with dynamic characters. Hudson includes the lovable heroine and the easily despised antagonist. This is a book for fans of such dystopian novels as, The Hunger Games, The Divergent Series, and The Maze Runner. Hudson branches out and creates a new world and a new look at the apocalypse and what would happen if men ruled (shudder)! Pick up this book and quench your dystopian needs with a fast paced and page turning story.

  1. This book sounds so intriguing! Boyfriend and I are always looking for new boons to read, and this will definitely be one of the next. We loved Hunger Games and would love for this book to fill that void now that it's over.

  2. "These men see women as nothing more than sexual objects created to breed..." - this description reminds me of the story in Mad Max: Fury Road http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392190

    Well, looks like dystopian or post-apocalyptic stories always feature a heroine huh? ;) #girlpower
