A small group of 10,000 survivors band together and live within the gates. No one has ventured beyond them for fear of what they may encounter. Sixteen year old Ivy Westfall is the granddaughter of the founder of Westfall, this is the first year that the founder and president’s family will be united. But Ivy has been trained for two years for another mission; to kill her husband, the future president, Bishop Lattimer. But the line becomes fuzzy when after spending time with him she learns he’s different. When the truth come out her mother’s death, realization hits home that nothing may be what it seems. Will Ivy have the heart to murder the man she’s falling for? Could this sweet young man be the tyrant her father says he will become? This book was extremely plausible, as many dystopian novels are. You can understand the need for arranged marriages with the hopes of increasing the population. In the same way, however, you can understand the people’s need for the freedom of choice. I enjoyed the way we got to watch Ivy mature before our eyes and slowly watch her fall in love with Bishop. From what I can see, I think Bishop has always loved her. I honestly can’t wait for book two, to find out if he goes after her or if he falls for Callie’s advances. This was a fantastic dystopian novel, very engrossing and one that was very hard to put down. A must read if you enjoy a dystopian novel with a sweet romance mixed in.

My name is Ivy Westfall, and my mission is simple: to kill the presidentâ??s sonâ??my soon-to-be husbandâ??and return the Westfall family to power. But Bishop Lattimer is either a very skilled actor or heâ??s not the cruel, heartless boy my family warned me to expect. He might even be the one person in this world who truly understands me. But there is no escape from my fate. I am the only one who can restore the Westfall legacy. Because Bishop must die. And I must be the one to Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
