Fallout

Pursuer. October. July.

distinct houses. several guardians. distinct surnames.

distinct lives.

However, one individual connects them all.

Aristotle.

Kristina Snow met the monster, crank, nineteen years ago, and her children are still suffering as a result of her choices. Rather of existing as a single, cohesive family, they are a hopeless web of dispersed lives bound together by uncertainty, dread, and rage.

All three follow their mother's infamous history due to their propensity for addiction and a feeling of emptiness where a mother's love should be. There is more of Kristina in her kids than they would ever like to admit—abuse, drugs, alcohol, and sex. However, as the common thread pulls them together, they will find something strong in themselves and in each other—the bravery, the hope, and the trust to start breaking the cycle.

Bestselling author Ellen Hopkin's gripping Fallout is the third book in her trilogy, which started with Crank and Glass. It is enlightening and evidence of the sad fact that addiction is never the fault of a single individual.
