The Burn Series- Review

My friend Christy recommended this series and since I love to read and we usually like the same books...I bought it right away.  It helps that the first book is only $.99 at amazon! 

Description of book one-  The Burn:

The Burn is full of nuclear fallout, roving gangs, anarchy, unreliable plumbing. That's what Terra's father tells her. She has lived her whole life in comfort in a colony at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. She hates it. And she would pay any price to leave. But when Terra finally escapes the colony, she finds out her father is right. She finds a group of survivors that quickly become friends, and every day with them is a race for survival. But then she witnesses and commits unspeakable acts, and she must decide where her loyalty lies: with the colony she despises or The Burn, where every day is filled with nightmares.

My thoughts on the series....
I really liked it.  While the premise could be compared to the Hunger Games or Divergent, it was different.  I liked the story, but thought the love story and storyline between Terra and her mother was odd and I really didn't like it.  I read all 3 books in about 2 weeks and found I didn't want to put them down, but I was a little disappointed with the end of book 3.  Overall...worth the read.
