It’s where Ella learned the ugly cruelty of the world, but used those experiences to find and shape her convictions. Tarnished (book 2) will stick with me for the pit it put in my stomach. It’s where Ella learned to see herself as a person, and a person of worth at that. I’ll always hold Perfected (book 1) on a pedestal for how much the innocent love story within touched me. The beauty of the Perfected series was Ella’s inner story. Kate Jarvik Birch is such a lovely writer, and Ella’s story is one I won’t soon forget. If she can’t untangle the web of blackmail and lies that extends far beyond NuPet’s reach, she won’t just lose her chance at freedom, she’ll lose everyone she loves. But when her group gets implicated in a string of bombings, no one is safe. Now, with the help of a small group of rebels, Ella and Penn, the boy she’d give up her life for, set out to bring down NuPet for good. They aren’t planning mass rehabilitation…they’re planning a mass extermination. NuPet may have convinced the public of their intentions to assimilate pets back into society, but Ella knows it’s a lie. She never dreamed that it would backfire. After exposing the dark secrets about NuPet’s breeding program, forcing them to repeal the law that allowed genetically modified girls to be kept as pets, she thought girls like her would finally be free. The Overview: Ella isn’t anyone’s pet anymore, but she’s certainly not free.
