From the moment the black vans appear
to take the sick away, Maya knows there is something wrong. She seems to be the
only one to question the sudden disappearances at school and the masks everyone
is forced to wear to keep from catching the new disease spreading through the
entire United States. Even when word of the new “healing centers” reaches the
public, no one dares to ask what is happening.
Title: The Tearings
Author: V.C. Repetto
Genre: Young Adult Dysopian
Publisher: Evernight Teen
Blurb:
But when Maya catches the disease,
the one they call The Tearings, and is taken to one of these centers along with
her mother, the truth becomes all too clear. She is separated from her family
and forced to work, becoming one of the more fortunate ones who is not sent to
the testing wings. Bullied by the guards to the point of death, she meets David
Summers, the enigmatic young Captain who appears to loathe his position of
power in the camp and who seems as drawn to Maya as she is to him.
When Maya suddenly becomes the
disease’s only survivor, she must put her trust on David to find a way to
escape the camp and get the truth, and the cure coursing through her veins, out
to the world.

Bio:
When not planning how to survive the next
plague and/or apocalypse, V.C. Repetto likes to submerge herself in as many
Victorian Gothic novels as she can find. It is quite a fun place, her head,
between all the moldy lace and gas masks. She is an avid quilter and
cross-stitcher, who longs one day to buy a weaving loom. V.C. Repetto lives in
house much too small for all her pets.
