#Paperback Friday Review: Fugitives (Escape From Furnace #4)

Fugitives  - Alexander Gordon Smith

So this book picks up right where book three ends. Alex and his friends Simon and Zee have broken out of Furnace but it seems that they did more harm than good. Alex is still holding on without nectar but it seems that Alfred Furnace has plans for Alex whether he likes it or not. 

There has been hell unleashed in the city once Furnace was opened up, but was that all part of the plan of the big guy in charge? Who knows, but Alex is determined to destroy Alfred Furnace no matter the cost and the question is will he succeed?

 

We see a lot of different monsters within this story. It seems that there is a new nectar and an old nectar and it seems to affect everyone differently. Zee believes it to be a plague that has been unleashed on the city and he is right on this one. 

No one is safe with what has been unleashed and it is a battle of survival to some. This story is just as dark as the others and we still see Alex fight the nectar that is within his system but how long will that last? I really want to read book five to find out if this all can be stopped or is this the new world where monsters roam and Alfred Furnace is in charge. 

The characters are still well written and the plot is still as strong I think teens would really enjoy this series. It is dark, full of action and has you wondering what is going to happen next.
