The First

I received this book – The First from the author Lisa M. Green in exchange for my honest review.


The story starts in this village that is run by the Primaries – They decide how the villagers should live and think. As the years go by, people are dying and their biggest source of survival is the big tree who is slowly getting worse.

They cannot leave the village because their biggest threat are the Shadows lurking near. When one of them dies by the hands of the Shadows, in need of answers and provisions for the village, Corrine wants to explore outside and take the risk to save all of them. With her twin Mori, her mate Brahdon and the sister of the murdered villager Cyndene along with her, they march through the unknown and discover more than they bargained for.

The concept of the story was well built. Good writing from the author. The good vs evil was a great touch from her.

I did enjoy the book, the beginning was a little too slow for my taste but in overall it was good.

A great first book from the author.

I give it 3 stars.
