In Claysoot, males disappear at midnight on their eighteenth birthdays. Gray witnesses his brother Blaine's "Heist," then discovers he and Blaine are actually twins--so why wasn't Gray taken, too? While evocative of The Hunger Games and Running Out of Time in some respects, plot gaps and a flat love triangle mar this fast-paced novel kicking off another dystopian series.
