Synopsis

Life inside The Loop-the futuristic death row for teens under eighteen-is one long repetitive purgatory. But when news of the encroaching chaos in the outside world reaches the inmates and disorder begins to strike, the prison becomes the least of their worries. Perfect for fans of The Fifth Wave and The Darkest Minds. It's Luka Kane's sixteenth birthday and he's been inside The Loop for over two years. Every inmate is serving a death sentence with the option to push back their execution date by six months if they opt into "Delays", scientific and medical experiments for the benefit of the elite in the outside world. But rumors of a war on the outside are spreading amonst the inmates, and before they know it, their tortuous routine becomes disrupted. The government issued rain stops falling. Strange things are happening to the guards. And it's not long until the inmates are left alone inside the prison. Were the chains that shackled Luka to his cell the only intruments left to keep him safe? In a thrilling shift, he must overcome fellow prisoners hell-bent on killing him, the warden losing her mind, the rabid rats in the train tunnels, and a population turned into murderous monsters to try and break out of The Loop, save his family, and discover who is responsible for the chaos that has been inflicted upon the world.

Goodreads review by Kelli on April 26, 2020

This is the birth child of Stephen King's The Institute and Rick Yancey's The 5th Wave series. Similar to those, this was a tough pill to swallow involving torture, prison and war for young adults and children. But damn if it isn't a rocket fueled ride. I couldn't stop reading even when I was hating......more

Goodreads review by James on September 11, 2019

Many books have claimed to be 'the next Hunger Games or Maze Runner' but few can actually meet that hype. I'm happy to say that this book has met these expectations and then some! This book is mostly set inside a prison known as the Loop, where inmates are subject to torturous conditions and crippli......more

UPDATE: 17/06/2021 - Reread and enjoyed it quite a lot more than the first time so I'm keeping the rating of 3.5 Stars but am rounding up to 4! CW: (view spoiler)[Gruesome deaths, medical experiments (hide spoiler)] Well that was a good plot driven book with a sufficient amount of mystery to keep Readers guessing. I thought the dys......more

A gripping, thrilling and terrifying read. The Loop is set in dystopian future, where the world is regulated by the World Government and that government is counselled by Artificial Intelligence named Happy (which is very disturbing). It follows the story of Luka Kane who is an inmate in the Loop wher......more
