What if you were bound for a new world, about to pledge your life to someone you'd been promised to since birth, and one unexpected violent attack made survival—not love—the issue?
Out in the murky nebula lurks an unseen enemy: the New Horizon. On its way to populate a distant planet in the wake of Earth's collapse, the ship's crew has been unable to conceive a generation to continue its mission. They need young girls desperately, or their zealous leader's efforts will fail. Onboard their sister ship, the Empyrean, the unsuspecting families don't know an attack is being mounted that could claim the most important among them...
Fifteen-year-old Waverly is part of the first generation to be successfully conceived in deep space; she was born on the Empyrean, and the large farming vessel is all she knows. Her concerns are those of any teenager—until Kieran Alden proposes to her. The handsome captain-to-be has everything Waverly could ever want in a husband, and with the pressure to start having children, everyone is sure he's the best choice. Except for Waverly, who wants more from life than marriage—and is secretly intrigued by the shy, darkly brilliant Seth.
But when the Empyrean faces sudden attack by their assumed allies, they quickly find out that the enemies aren't all from the outside.
My Review:
Loved, loved this book! So great!!! Loved the plot, loved the characters, loved the whole book! So amazing! It had such a great emotional background, of good and bad, and it was just amazing!
There was a lot of cruelty in this book, which was balanced by the good, which I really enjoyed, and loved reading about! There was a very fine line between good and bad, and sometimes it was touched too much. But that just added to the greatness that is this book!
I really enjoyed the different POV's, how each made mistakes, and then there were some lies that were almost a little easy to believe, that some people are just a bit either too trusting, or not trusting enough. And with some bad decisions, that lead to a very "I want to read the next book right now" feeling. Yep.
This was an excellent book that I read really quickly, and you guys just need to check it out!
