In a world ravaged by mutation, a teenage girl must travel into the forbidden Savage Zone to recover lost artifacts or her father’s life is forfeit.Inhuman was an interesting read for me. I found that I enjoyed the story overall. I thought the book was fun and entertaining. It was also action packed and fast paced! I thought the dystopian world was okay. I didn't think it was the best and have felt like I have read many like this, but it was still interesting to read about. I really liked the way the author went with the virus. I liked how the people are being infected with different kinds of animal virus and I thought that was an interesting concept to take on. This book seemed to be more about the journey that Lane went on during the fetch instead of the actual fetch itself.
America has been ravaged by a war that has left the eastern half of the country riddled with mutation. Many of the people there exhibit varying degrees of animal traits. Even the plantlife has gone feral.
Crossing from west to east is supposed to be forbidden, but sometimes it’s necessary. Some enter the Savage Zone to provide humanitarian relief. Sixteen-year-old Lane’s father goes there to retrieve lost artifacts—he is a Fetch. It’s a dangerous life, but rewarding—until he’s caught.
Desperate to save her father, Lane agrees to complete his latest job. That means leaving behind her life of comfort and risking life and limb—and her very DNA—in the Savage Zone. But she’s not alone. In order to complete her objective, Lane strikes a deal with handsome, roguish Rafe. In exchange for his help as a guide, Lane is supposed to sneak him back west. But though Rafe doesn’t exhibit any signs of “manimal” mutation, he’s hardly civilized . . . and he may not be trustworthy
