The setting holds great promise, and its dangers are quite entertaining: from the dreaded chimpacabra and piranha-bats to people infected by lion, tiger, or fox DNA, there's lovely and bizarre imagery involved.
Accompanied by rule-breaking bad boy Rafe and handsome border guard Everson, Lane ventures into the Feral Zone, trying to survive the legacy of the Ferae Naturae virus, including animal crossbreeds and feral "manimals." Despite the obligatory love triangle, Falls presents Lane as a competent, admirable heroine who more than holds her own. A powerful official blackmails Lane into helping find her father when she's unsuccessful, she must complete his assignment herself. When 16-year-old Lane McEvoy's father goes missing, she learns that he was a "fetch," illegally journeying east to retrieve precious artwork and other items.
Survivors live west of the Mississippi, with a giant wall protecting them from the "Feral Zone" to the east. Falls (Rip Tide) begins a trilogy set in a dystopian America, a generation after a hybridized virus killed or mutated millions. Dark Life by Kat Falls starts off with a premise that the world has been largely flooded due to global warming, and most of the submerged East Coast has broken off the continent and slipped into a deep underwater ravine.
