CLAW

by Berry, Katie

Una is a girl built for a purpose she never asked for, existing in a world where her very DNA is a secret that could get her killed. CLAW is a relentless, gritty sprint through a landscape of paranoia and high-stakes survival. Katie Berry crafts a narrative that feels like being hunted; the pacing is sharp and unforgiving, mirroring the internal and external threats Una faces as she tries to outrun her own origins. It is less about finding a hero and more about watching someone claw back their humanity in a system that views them as a piece of hardware. If you enjoy stories that prioritize visceral action, complex power dynamics, and protagonists forced into impossible moral corners, this will keep you keyed up until the final page.
