YAToxic City series.
In the aftermath of a biological terrorist attack on London no one is allowed in or out of the city. Truth is blurred by rumors as five teens come together and travel to the forbidden city with a mysterious stranger to find their missing families. The plot has potential, but slight characters, weak writing, and clichéd dialogue dull the narrative.
