Safety comes with a price. Change comes with a cost.
The Key Corporation has kept Westfall safe from
pandemics for the last fifty years. But that's not all they've done...
After discovering the shocking truth behind the
Key Corporation, Elodie and Aiden have managed to escape in search of New Dawn
- the stronghold for the Eos resistance movement. There, they can fight for a
better world, one where everyone can decide their own futures.
But things aren't always as they seem, and as they
navigate the tricky paths between perception and reality, freedom and fighting
for survival, the two young rebels must discover who they can trust, even as
they learn more about who they really are...
My Review: Okay a little better than the first book, but really, I'm disappointed. I wanted to love these books because of how much I loved her other writings.
Elodie is finally more rebellious. She finally see's the Key isn't exactly what she thought it was, she doesn't have to marry a man that a system match her with. She kissed Aiden and nothing bad has happened to her (health wise), and now she determined to start a new path.
Aiden had Elodie and is happy, at least he was until Elodie's best friend saw them kiss and well things just went down hill. His mother is gone, I swear his sister has no soul at all and Elodie's ex-fiance still wants to make things work with her so there's that too.
I was really upset with what happens to Aiden in the book, it really shouldn't have happened but ugh.
Overall, I just really don't know. It's not what I expected this series to be, though this book is better than the first, but I wouldn't say its better by much sadly.
