"Wow, this was so much fun. Every moment was full of action."

Mrs. Keefe Sencen

"Thought I wouldn’t like this book… I was so very wrong. now that I’ve finished it I’m thinking about how great it would be as a movie. would definitely recommend it if you like the selection but also enjoy espionage, some violence, and a bit of mystery. Pretty interesting read, although it ends in something of a cliffhanger to get you to read book 2"

Erin

"Not the most original, but extremely well done. I wanted to not like this book because it was a selection knock off, but I could not hate it… it’s well done. It’s a bit more intense and graphic than the selection… I recommend this book to anyone looking for a selection knock off that turns out to be pretty good. Try it you have nothing to loose."

"I'm thinking of reading this.. is it worth it?"

Jules

"One of my all time favorite series! If you like the Selection series, you’ll love this!!"

Danielle

"The first book was great. Reminded me of the selection meets the hunger games but then the books went downhill after the first one. "

Jacquelyn Davies

"I loved this book! I think that it is the same concept of the Selection but, it is completely different. It is pretty violent and very creative! I loved it!"

💛Micah Faith💛

"I have mixed feelings on this book, I really felt like it was a knock off selection and I didn't like that about it. That being said I did enjoy the fact that it had more action, so I give this book like a 3/5"

Lily

"I have recently just finished this book and at first I thought it was a knock-off of the selection but about half way the book turns violent real fast. It is kind of a hit or miss depending on what kinds of books you like but I personally loved it. I haven't been this invested in a series in a long time. 10/10 reccomend."

Madison White

"Loved all three of these!"
