But Rhine has more to contend with than losing her freedom. Linden's eccentric father is bent on finding an antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking his son, even if it means collecting corpses in order to test his experiments. With the help of Gabriel, a servant Rhine is growing dangerously attracted to, Rhine attempts to break free, in the limted time she has left

I’ve read so much about this book, and every review I read were positive. I really can’t wait to get my hands on this book, and to finally be able to read it. It looks extremely good. Plus, I love the cover. At least, I only have to wait three weeks!

    Hopping by....yes, the cover is gorgeous! I read this one and didn't love it, but I know others do. The book has those circles and lines on the inside as well. Neeto

    I'm actually kind of scared that the hype surrounding this book will ruin it for me. I go into serious cover lust though, when I stare at that book. It's dangerous. I only hope the text as is as great as that cover! Lol.

    Great pick!

    Happy blogging and enjoy your current reads!
