Girl on Fire by Eden Hart

Dystopian sci-fi fantasy laced with romance.

On her 16th birthday, Kassia is condemned to death—twice.

Already battling a fatal disease, Kassia Madison somehow survives an apocalypse that kills billions. Only a tiny percentage of people are immune to the strange red mist—but not all of them are human.

Alone, Kassia searches for her family in a dying New York filled with extraordinary dangers. After she meets a dynamic resistance leader fighting for humanity’s future, she faces a devastating choice.

Meanwhile, in the shadows, someone not fully human has taken a special interest in Kassia. Raised as an emotionless Outrider, this hybrid records the destruction of civilization in New York. As he coolly observes Kassia’s desperation and courage, he decides to turn her struggle to stay alive into a scientific experiment.

For fans of The 5th Wave and Hunger Games.
