I received this book for free from Reviewer Purchase in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

@doctorfusionbebop: Some 17 y. o. chick named Dee Guerrera was just sent to Alcatraz 2.0 for killing her stepsister. So, how long do you think she'll last?

@morrisdavis72195: I hope she meets justice! She'll get what's coming to her! BWAHAHA!

@EltonJohnForevzz: Me? I think Dee's innocent. And I hope she can survive.

WELCOME TO THE NEAR FUTURE, where good and honest citizens can enjoy watching the executions of society's most infamous convicted felons, streaming live on The Postman app from the suburbanized prison island Alcatraz 2.0.

When seventeen-year-old Dee Guerrera wakes up in a haze, lying on the ground of a dimly lit warehouse, she realizes she's about to be the next victim of the app. Knowing hardened criminals are getting a taste of their own medicine in this place is one thing, but Dee refuses to roll over and die for a heinous crime she didn't commit. Can Dee and her newly formed posse, the Death Row Breakfast Club, prove she's innocent before she ends up wrongfully murdered for the world to see? Or will The Postman's cast of executioners kill them off one by one?

Short and Sweet Review

After being convicted of a crime she didn’t do Dee Guerrera wakes up on Alcatraz 2.0. In the future convicted criminals are sent to Alcatraz where a group of executioners kill the criminals for everyone to see  through live streaming on the postman app. Now Dee has to figure out how to prove she’s innocent and get off the island without being taken out by the postman’s killers. When Dee arrives on the island she ends up killing one of the postman’s killers right off the bat which ends up making her pretty popular and she’s given the name Cinderella Survivor. Dee is determined to stay alive and find a way to prove her innocence, and she ends up getting some help from Nyles, Griselda, Ethan, and Blair. The only problem is the postman starts to target those four because of how close they’ve become to Dee. Each character is different Nyles has actually been left alone on Alcatraz because he has diplomatic immunity, Ethan is a film buff, Griselda is snarky and doesn’t trust easily, and Blair is the kind of person to take you under her wing. I thought the book was interesting I liked how Alcatraz isn’t the normal prison we all know but a suburban island with stores and barracks for the criminals. The only thing that isn’t so great is that the postman has executioners that come and kill the criminals in different creative ways, there’s Gucci who uses fashion items, Robin who acts like Robin Hood and so on. Dee also has an interesting past because she was kidnapped when she was younger which also plays out in the story. Dee and her friends become known as the Death Row Breakfast Club on the live feed chats. I thought the addition of the chats was great because we got to see what people actually thought about what was going on to people on Alcatraz. There’s also a romance between Dee and Nyles which I didn’t mind. They’re were around each other a lot but there wasn’t too many scenes with them having PDA mainly because they were trying to stay alive. This book is a good thriller and I did like how it ended there were twists that I wasn’t expecting and I’m excited to see what will happen in the sequel!
