Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Matched, this is the second book in the Lone City trilogy, following on from Amy Ewing's shocking and compelling debut novel, The Jewel.

Nowhere is safe, and they are dependent on Lucien and his secret society for survival. If they can reach the safety of the White Rose then Violet may be able to help Lucien in his plan to rescue more surrogates. For one surrogate, however, it is already too late. Violet's best friend, Raven, is pregnant. And in the Jewel, surrogates cannot survive giving birth.

Margaret Atwood Reading Challenge

Refreshing this challenge a little - this is something I set myself to do in my very first few months of blogging but seems to have slipped away from my attention. I plan on working my way through Atwood's books in their entirety. I've read very few so far and plan to work on this a.s.a.p. Feel free to join in if you wish to read more Atwood :). I think I'll go back over the others and write up reviews for them at some point too!
