Groundbreaking, powerful and gripping storytelling set in a future dystopian state from the highly acclaimed author Gemma Malley.

Everyone accepted that people were different physically. But inside? Inside, they were different too. You just had to know how to tell, what to look for. Evil has been eradicated. The City has been established. And citizens may only enter after having the 'evil' part of their brain removed. They are labelled on the System according to how 'good' they are. If they show signs of the evil emerging, they are labelled a K... But no one knows quite what that means. Only that they disappear, never to be seen again...

Industry Reviews

Chillingly well-imagined. - Daily Mail

Malley creates a harrowing dystopian world that keeps you turning the pages. - We Love This Book

. . . like a roller coaster of adventure . . . The Killables is a very interesting book, dealing with our perceptions of what is evil, and whether it is possible to turn someone completely evil or completely good. The concept of the novel regarding the control of evil is fascinating . . . It is safe to say that Malley has a talent for writing dystopian novels and I am looking forward to the next installment in this highly fast-paced trilogy. - Guardian Online

I love Gemma Malley . . . Somehow, she manages to produce books that are at once intellectual, challenging, sophisticated, exciting, romantic and accessible. - Thebookbag.co.uk

At times I felt I couldn't put this down, there were times where the action was riveting and others I just wanted to read on to find out the truth about the system . . . Malley has done an excellent job and it is well worth a read. - Passionfornovels.co.uk

A great deal of thought and planning has clearly gone into the world building. I believed it, could see it happening and found it disturbing and fascinating at the same time . . . The denouement was particularly satisfying. The System is organised on a computer and I loved the part that this took in the plot and its ending. Although this is the first in the series I was happy with the conclusion of book one, it satisfied my need for revenge although there are plenty of untied ends and interesting threads for the rest of the series. - Myfavouritebooks.blogspot.co.uk

Malley is an exceptional story-teller who knows how to keep the story flowing and exciting... The Killables will give readers an insatiable appetite for Malley's characters who are fraught with flaws and realistic mentalities. This dystopian novel has a touch of science fiction and survival elements that longtime fans of Malley will surely appreciate! - www.loveydoveybooks.blogspot.co.uk
