Three years ago an event destroyed the small city of Poughkeepsie, forever changing reality within its borders. Uncanny manifestations and lethal dangers now await anyone who enters the Spill Zone. The Spill claimed Addison's parents and scarred her little sister, Lexa, who hasn t spoken since. Addison provides for her sister by photographing the Zone's twisted attractions on illicit midnight rides. Art collectors pay top dollar for these bizarre images, but getting close enough for the perfect shot can mean death or worse. When an eccentric collector makes a million-dollar offer, Addison breaks her own hard-learned rules of survival and ventures farther than she has ever dared. Within the Spill Zone, Hell awaits and it seems to be calling Addison's name.

The story didn’t actually get interesting for me until the end of chapter 3, but nothing was really explained which isn’t a good pull factor for me. I don’t mind being in the dark about some things in storytelling but when your explained just about nothing and then it ends, it doesn’t always leave someone wanting more. I’m one of those people, building suspense is a give and take situation in my mind. If your constantly leaving your reader in the dark it makes them feel like they will never get any answers. The cliffhanger was good, but because I feel like I have no clue what is happening I’m not pulled in by the cliffhanger.
There is a “spill” and this whole town has gone crazy and everyone is dead and there are monsters now, that doesn’t tell me much of anything. That’s what I got out of this entire volume, minus the life drama of our main characters.
Characters are few and don’t exactly standout. I am interested in Lexa’s story but I’m worried it will never actually be explained.
The art was decent, it’s not a style I personally gravitate towards, but it was different from what I am use to, so it does standout.
