## Description

Your name has been drawn in the lottery. You will receive your end-of-life date within one month Overpopulation, climate change, and soaring food prices have reduced the world to a shadow of its former self. Streets overflow with the dying, as people are struck down by diseases that should have been easily cured. In a desperate bid for control, world leaders agree on a barbaric solution: a mass cull, wiping out nearly half of humanity through a deadly lottery. When Steph and Tom’s names are drawn, their deaths are sealed. Bound together by chance, they must face the unthinkable and confront what it means to live when tomorrow is no longer promised. Part one of The Cull book series. A dystopian saga.

Review: Excellent Debut - The Cull by Joanne Roach is book one in The Cull series, a three book dystopian novel. The author wrote the story in 3rd person, and we see the story from the main characters and a couple of side-character's POVs. I loved this; the story is intense, and getting all the different emotions and opinions made it complete. This story is set in the future, mainly in South East England, and the author does a fantastic job depicting how that world looks like, what is going on and how this affects every person living on Earth. Stephanie (Steph) and Thomas (Tom), the main characters, are multi-dimensional people. They are entirely different and have different backgrounds, but they get thrown together by fate/bad luck. These characters have depth, and the more I read, the more they came to life. I also got to know the side characters well. We get less of their backstory, but the author explains everything happening in the world and to their loved ones. While this is a dark story, there is room for a bit of humor and the start of friends who may become closer. Dystopian novels aren't my usual go-to, but I loved The Cull. This story has a great pace, is well-written, and is entertaining. The characters are lovely, but their story is heartbreaking, I felt every emotion in the book while reading this. I can't wait for Book 2 to be released!
Review: Drew me in from the start - What an exciting literary debut from Joanne Roach! One of the things I enjoy most about reading, and what I look for in a book, is if the author creates a world and characters that I want to know more about. From the get-go, her story had my mind painting and building the landscapes, buildings, and people along with her words, made my heart swell and break, made me cringe, made my stomach roll, I felt saddened, I felt despair, I screamed in anger inside my head and I cried on the outside. Her story had my brain abuzz with questions about “what would I do in this situation?”, “could I go through with it?”, “could I watch others go through it?”, “could, would I rebel?”, “how did they get to that point?”, “could the real world get to that point?”, etc, etc, etc. When a book engages both my emotions and my thinking, call me intrigued and ready for more! Well done, Ms. Roach, I’m in anticipation of where you’re taking this story.

### ⭐⭐ Not for me
*by C***E on June 1, 2026*

The synopsis of this book was so enticing and I was very excited to read it. I had been looking for a new dystopian series to read for awhile and thought I found a series I could enjoy. The beginning of the book was great and completely had me committed but sadly this didn't last and became very boring and drawn out. Honestly, I almost quit reading. I will not be continuing on.
