So begins , a dystopian drug-fantasy that unfolds in the apocalyptic debris of an all but unrecognizable American city. In the wake of Drug War II, all the soldiers have become dealers and all the women have become collateral for the intoxicants they both peddle and pop like Skittles. But a powerful new drug is rumored to top them all, one that will fix everything wrong with Alison's life, but one that is cooked and sold by her fiercest adversary: a dealer who threatens to destroy her entire world. Brimming with a rich and labyrinth plot, indelible characters, and an unforgettable ending, is as wild a ride as they come: a free-wheeling read about the cycle of addiction that is, itself, addictive.
