Concoction of a Review:


A dystopian novel like nothing the Mad Scientist has encountered.  Admittedly, I had to think about this book for a bit before I could sit down and write about it.  Ok... I started the review and forgot about it.  So.... now I finish in a vain attempt at reviewing such a wonderful book.


Rhine lives in a world where genetic engineering has made the offspring of the "first generation" live until 25 for males and 20 for females.  It is a scary time to be alive and for such a short period of time.  Not only were smart enough to make a perfect being they managed to blow up the whole world.  Of course, excluding North America.  How original?  Blah.  America is so much better and humans are stupid.  Not a seller for me as you can tell.  


In this world young girls look over their shoulder in fear of being abducted for prostiution or to be sold off as a bride.  Any reader should shiver at this idea.  I did.


Rhine is a spirited soul who was tricked and captured.  Waking up states away from her brother she starts to search for a way to free herself.  She did not want her last four years to go by being stuck as one of a series of wives to Linden.  Yes, polygamy!  She is even willing to risk everything to be free.  To be with her twin once again.


What would you risk to save yourself???


Here The Beautiful Cover Model fits perfect:   As Kristina O'Conner... 

"Eventually I realize that I am holding him just as tight as he holds on to me.  And here we are: two small dying things, as the world ends around us like falling autumn leaves."
*Free ARC from NetGalley which did not impede on my Mad Review.  It is completely honest and full of my thoughts on the book. *

4 Blasts --->  Most Desirable
A novel that makes you think and fear what the future may bring.
