My Review:
Akio is a young man who just wants to make it through high
school, survive an abusive alcoholic father and guys who bully him because he
is gay. Akio tries to stay out of their way but that is kind of impossible when
you go to the same school and they are always on the lookout for him so it
would seem. Akio has to hide who his from everyone because of the new law that
was passed a while back called the Deviant act. The Deviant act is a law that
states if anyone of the same sex is caught looking at each other in a certain
way, kissing or just a touch then said person or persons will be shot on site.
After Akio is attacked so many times by this group of guys
Brandon finally steps in and tries to help Akio by telling his friends to leave
him alone but just this one little act could cost Brandon so much. But Brandon
really likes Akio and wants to help him. But when Akio and Brandon are caught
by Akio’s father Brandon runs and leaves Akio to deal with his father.
Akio’s father jumps on Akio and calls the law so Akio has no
choice but to leave. He gets lucky when he meets Tina and Chase and they take
him to Taylor who is the leader of the Under Ground. Living with the Under
Grounders will keep Akio safe and he won’t have to hide who he is anymore. For
once his life Akio can finally be happy and hopefully find someone that he can
love and can love him back.
So far I have loved every book in the Under Ground series
that I have read and can’t wait to read more. I love the world that has been
created for the Under Grounders. Now I have read both Akio and Terrance’s
stories and can’t wait to read everyone else’s story as well. I have also read
Under Ground book #1 and Standing Ground book #2 and hope to read every story
in the Under Ground series. I love me some dystopia books. I read about the
worlds that authors create and learning how people survive in those worlds.
If you have not read Akio’s story than I would like to
suggest that you do it is one of the most amazing stories written.
