Goodreads Summary:
The Maze Runner meets Scott Westerfeld in this gripping new series about teens held captive in a human zoo by an otherworldly race. From Megan Shepherd, the acclaimed author of The Madman's Daughter trilogy.
When Cora Mason wakes in a desert, she doesn't know where she is or who put her there. As she explores, she finds an impossible mix of environments—tundra next to desert, farm next to jungle, and a strangely empty town cobbled together from different cultures—all watched over by eerie black windows. And she isn't alone.
Four other teenagers have also been taken: a beautiful model, a tattooed smuggler, a secretive genius, and an army brat who seems to know too much about Cora's past. None of them have a clue as to what happened, and all of them have secrets. As the unlikely group struggles for leadership, they slowly start to trust each other. But when their mysterious jailer—a handsome young guard called Cassian—appears, they realize that their captivity is more terrifying than they could ever imagine: Their captors aren't from Earth. And they have taken the five teenagers for an otherworldly zoo—where the exhibits are humans.
As a forbidden attraction develops between Cora and Cassian, she realizes that her best chance of escape might be in the arms of her own jailer—though that would mean leaving the others behind. Can Cora manage to save herself and her companions? And if so . . . what world lies beyond the walls of their cage?

Book Review:
“The Cage” is a
breathtaking novel that will always have you on the edge of your seat with
action packed adventures, sci-fi realms, plot twists and some romance to top it
all off. This extraordinary novel will never fail to keep readers guessing.
Cora,
a determined, strong minded girl with extreme amounts curiosity. Her
determination and willpower to never give in, makes her a great character to
look up to and believe in. You won’t be doubting Cora unlike her peers who are
blinded in fear. Her past and thrilling new adventures will always have you
wondering about her. “Why doesn’t she give up?” or “Why does she feel that
spark between her and her captor?” Cora never fails to impress us in this
engrossing novel.
The
characters and the story lines won’t be the only thing to impress you, the
grammar used within the story is excellent, and the words describing the
emotions in this story we’re quite distinctive and fit perfectly with the scene
and what was happening.
This
novel was a great, it had enough explanation for each chapter to give us a
visual, but didn’t give as much where it would be predictable and corny. Each
chapter was a new adventure with more twist and turns. I highly recommend this
novel to teens or adults who like a fantasy or Sci-fi read.
