Thanks to NetGalley and Blue Crow Publishing for a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.
The story follows Eva and Ari, two citizens in the Commonwealth where the Seven Deadly Sins can really turn out to be deadly. Human emotion of love/lust, greed, anger, any emotion is forbidden. Citizen are made in a lab and anyone that is natural born is expected to be the slaves to the citizens.
We follow Eva from the time of her Choosing ceremony where she is selected to be a warrior instead of ending up in computers where she thinks she belongs. Eva becomes the apprentice and Ari her mentor as they fight a growing attraction to each other which could send them to their deaths. This story is full of forbidden love, witty banter, mystery and intrigue as Eva and Ari unravel who they are in a system that doesn’t want you to be unique.
I loved this book and I was quite glad to also have the sequel on hand to go straight into. The one thing I don’t understand about this book is why I had not heard of it before now. I will definitely be continuing with this series.
