~ About the Series ~
The United States have fallen. A new power has risen in North America, but now a terrifying virus is spreading across the countryside. Once infected, people change, mutating into superhuman creatures known as the Chead. Wherever they walk, death follows. Desperate to defend its citizens, the government launches the Praegressus Project – an experimental program to enhance the human race.
Elizabeth Flores was just a normal girl – until the Chead slaughtered her parents and made her a fugitive. With winter approaching she seeks refuge in the city of Sacramento, but the hunters are waiting. Abducted off the streets, she’s spirited away to a facility deep in the Californian mountains. There, Liz wakes in an iron cage – and she’s not alone.
In the opposite cage, Christopher Sanders stands wrongfully accused of treason. Along with Liz, he has just become a volunteer in the Praegressus Project. Stripped of their rights, they will soon learn there is little separating humanity from the monsters they seek to destroy. The two must work together if they want to survive, but even then, their chances are slim. Of course, only the lucky get to die.
Blending the insane experiments of Stranger Things and the haunting dystopia of the Hunger Games, fans will love this thrilling new series. Discover a future where the powerful rule without mercy, and nothing is ever as it seems. With hints of YA Dystopia, Genetic Scifi, Urban Fantasy and just a touch of Romance, the Praegressus Project truly has something for everyone. Enter a new world with New York Times Bestselling Author Aaron Hodges.

This is fiction, right?
Books that pull me in so much it seems like a new reality, are beyond amazing. I adore books written that well, with a story engaging enough to be so fully encompassing while I explore it. While it's obvious this series is fiction, it's written well enough to be a fantastic escape into a dystopian adventure, and one I enjoyed more than most in the genre.
Liz and Chris are in unique situations, brought together for a common reason: kidnapped and held hostage by the government, voluntold for an experimental project. While they struggle to survive, and wish for death, they learn more about themselves, the modern world they find themselves in, and secrets they wish they'd never uncovered.
Starting the series off, Rebirth sets the stage for a thrilling series that would definitely become a favorite for me, I'm sure. The first book in the series is already in my top five best books of 2017, and I'm ecstatic to have had the chance to read it. I hope to experience the rest of the series in the future. Everything I've seen from Aaron Hodges so far is impressive, and he's an easy go-to author for when I need a book I know I'll enjoy.
I highly recommend this book and series, and hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
