To Health.
To Life.
To the Future.

We are The Key.

'No touching today for a healthy tomorrow.'

Elodie obeys The Key. Elodie obeys the rules. Elodie trusts in the system. At least, Elodie used to...

Aidan is a rebel. Aidan doesn't do what he's told. Aidan just wants to be free. Aidan is on his last chance...

After a pandemic wiped out most of the human race, The Key took power. The Key dictates the rules. They govern in order to keep people safe. But as Elodie and Aidan begin to discover there is another side to The Key, they realise not everything is as it seems.

Rather than playing protector, The Key are playing God.

 

My Review: Um what did I read? Yeah, that's a way to put it... I wanted to love this book. I love Kristin's work with P.C. on the HON books so, obviously I had to get these books.

But I had such a hard time with this book for the longest time, it didn't finally grab me until the end of the book. 

Elodie is boring...she follows the rules to a T and believes everything the Key says, after all they did save them all right? I mean besides the household she wants to get away from, she doesn't ever questions the Key, not even when they picked a guy for her to marry. 

Aidan took a little bit of warming up to, but he was pretty good. he does what he wants and doesn't really care about the Key, as if he knows what is really going on and is just putting on a face for when he is back in the Key, or at least in front of his sister.

But overall it was an okay book, if it wasn't for who wrote the book, I wouldn't  have finished it.
