About this listen

The secret is locked in her mind - and they'll do anything to get it.

Generations ago, humanity was devastated by a virus that wiped billions from the planet. If not for AmeriGlobe's Pairing program to match immune survivors, and VaxWell's immunity-boosting biomods, humans would've died out.

Lora Flannigan has sought to conform to the strict laws throughout her 18 years, and after the Testing she now stands on the brink of a prestigious pairing with high-caste Jarid. Accepting the match will pull her and her family up from their low-caste existence.

But Lora never counted on the sparks that ignite when she meets her Pair's striking brother: Syeth - dark, brooding and harboring secrets. But before she's managed to make sense of her feelings, he's embroiled her in the rebellion underworld.

And when still darker truths come to light, Lora realizes the purpose behind not only her pairing...but her very existence.

I very much enjoyed this book. it isn't quite post apocalypse but the setting was on the verge due to a virus. The good and bad "guys" are both strong female characters. It reminded me of the divergent series a little bit. I am disappointed there is no audio book of the second or third ones up, I hope they do.
I'm going to try the author's other books

good book! Where is the second and third!?!

I liked the story especially as it got in more. The narrator was ok. But there needs to be a prequel. And atleast 1 sequel. So many holes to the story. I need more.

Good story could be better

This book was super frustrating as immediately the world created doesn’t make sense (talking about immunity and viruses but to gain immunity characters need to wear make up or follow social trends - this was never explained nor was the virus actually discussed), the characters are rushed into “love” with no sense of building a connection or what the stakes are for them, the dangers and escapes are beyond improbable. Narration was good, and it was short so those were good points.

Shallow plot full of holes
