Warning: Horde 
is the third and final book in the Razorland Trilogy if you haven't read the first & second book you may not want to read this.
Horde
by Ann Aguirre was an extremely suspenseful book. I love dystopian or post-apocalyptic books, anything that says 'For Fans of the Hunger Games' usually sells me. I loved how in this book, there was no real government each remaining town had their own rules. Some towns had better rules then others, better defenses, some stood a real chance. Other towns would be wiped in just a short matter of time.
The Horde has Salvation surrounded. Duece and her friends have to sneak out and leave their new families behind in hopes of retrieving help. As it turns out the muties are growing braver and smarter, attacking more and more settlements. They're running out of time to figure out why the muties are getting smarter. They'll have to develop a solution soon. They'll have to find a way to take them all out despite their massive numbers, or be wiped out themselves. They can't seem to come up with any other ideas.
I LOVED! Loved! Loved, the trilogy. I sincerely hate ebooks, but i'm tempted to go and buy the ebooks for like the bonus/ in between short stories, telling the tales of certain characters or before the virus. That's how good they are. If you haven't read these books, and you love dystopian, survival themed books; it is a must read trilogy! Too make it even better, it's a first person perspective read. My favorite!
Note: Endurance
and Foundation
are the two ebooks i'm probably buying for myself so I know all the ins and outs of the Razorland books. Check them out!

Warning: Outpost 
is the second book in the Razorland Trilogy, if you haven't read the first book you may not want to read this.
Outpost
just like Enclave,
was an extremely suspenseful book.I love dystopian or post-apocalyptic books, anything that says 'For Fans of the Hunger Games' usually sells me. What I really loved about this book though, was that its post-apocalyptic alright, but the world is still a mess there's no real establishments or government yet. It's all about the will to survive.
After having discovered the town Salvation, you'd think things for Duece would have started getting better, but they're only getting worse. In the Enclave at fifteen she was considered an adult, capable of fighting and making her own rational decisions, but here in Salvation she's just another dumb kid in need of learning. She doesn't fit in with anyone here, and even Fade has distanced himself from her. After struggling along like this for a while, things eventually start to look up. She could see herself being rooted to the town and some of the people in it, only to have tragedy start to strike. Anyone who disliked her before, may quickly come to realize how much Salvation needs her. Duece and her friends may be their only chance of survival.
OH. MY. WORD. I never really know what to expect in these books. I don't know what characters are safe to get attached too. I'd like to think the main characters are safe, but after reading this, like Duece said saftey is an illusion. Through out this book, I was so back and forth. I would be happy one minute, then be scared for the characters the next minute. I've never cried reading a book, but I can honestly say I was almost brought to tears near the end of this book. It's seriously freaking awesome, and Ann Aguirre really new what she was doing. I'm already half way through the third book, Horde.
Honestly, if you love any of the following: dystopian themes, love triangles, post-apocalypses, action, suspense, and so on; This trilogy really is a must read!
Note: If you were wondering what completely happened to the Enclave, and Thimble and Stone, Amazon has an ebook strictly about that called Endurance.
I thought i'd mention that because it personally was driving me insane not 100% knowing.

Enclaveby Ann Aguirre was an extremely suspenseful dystopian book. The first in the Razorland Trilogy.
I love dystopian or post-apocalyptic books, anything that says 'For Fans of the Hunger Games' usually sells me. What I really loved about this book though, was that its post-apocalyptic alright, but the world is still a mess there's no real establishments or government yet. It's all about the will to survive.
It's about a girl who turns fifteen, she's finally old enough to claim a name. After being referred to as girl number whatever. Claiming a name, claim a job, earning her place in the enclave, it's the most exciting day. She wants to be huntress, to defend the enclave and everyone inside it. She thinks everything the enclave elders do is for the people's good, for the enclave. Until. She meets her hunting partner. Fade. He's the only outsider to have been given the permission to stay. He lived on his own in the tunnels for close to four years. He was barely human when they found him. That was a few years ago now, he's been trained since then. They made frequent trips into the tunnels looking for food, fighting any mutations they call 'freaks'. Freaks look like they could have been human once, but now they have yellowing skin, they smell of rotting flesh, they can smell blood a mile a way, they have razor teeth & nails, and will eat anything they can get their hands on, even each other if one of their kin dies. The girl's enclave, called College, had always struggled fighting them off no matter how stupid and easy the freaks were to trick, but now after being in the tunnels several times with Fade, it seems the Freaks are showing signs of intelligence. That could mean then end of College, the end of all the enclaves. The girl and Fade, race back to tell the elders, only to have the elders brush them off, and find ways to keep them quiet. The elders have been hiding something or some things, and now the whole enclave is at risk. My enclave, my people, my home. I am the girl, the name I've claimed is Duece.
This book is a wonderful first person perspective read, as you may know if you've read any of my other posts, I LOVE first person reads. I loved the fact that Ann made a world that was post apocalyptic, and literally falling apart still. Usually, like in the Hunger Games, the books are post apocalyptic, yes, but there's a government and things already fixed up and cities established. Duece and Fade have nothing. There were so many parts in the book I never saw coming. They're living in a world where they not only have to fear Freaks, but corrupt people too.Who should Duece trust, who shouldn't she trust? This book was action packed and kept me on the "edge of my seat" sort of speak, yet it had some calm parts and a fantastic story line. I literally picked the second book, Outpost,
up right after I finished reading it. It's a must must must must read!
The only thing I DISLIKED, was that for the first two chapters, I felt like it kind of jumped around or something. There were a few sentences I had to re-read to make sure I understood what I just read, maybe I was just tired, I don't know. By the third chapter though it was "normal" or well written. I didn't have to re-read anything after that. If you read the book let me know what you thought, maybe it was just me.
