Ella’s and Missy’s journey and what they discover is horrifying but the big question is how are they going to expose the nightmare to the world now that legislation has been passed making ownership of these pets legal?Įlla is nearly as naive in this book as she was in the first and that was a little disappointing. Ella also is determined to get back to Penn, the boy she loves who also happens to be the son of her owner. The idea of humans being bred as pets is appalling, of course, but when Ella teams up, reluctantly, with Missy to get across the Canadian border back into the United States they hope to do something to bring attention to the plight of these girls, especially now that rumors of deaths are rising. That intensity was what I hoped to find in this second book and I did, just in a different way.
Although worldbuilding was in somewhat short supply in the first book, the premise of the story was so unique that my attention was riveted all the way through. The tale takes up shortly after where it left off in Perfected and this is definitely one of those series where you need to read the books in order because you just won’t get the full impact of Tarnished if you haven’t read Perfected. If she fails, Ella will pay not only with her life, but the lives of everyone she’s tried to save… If she’s lucky, she’ll be able to rescue Penn and expose the truth about the breeding program.
With help from a very unexpected source, Ella slips deep into the dangerous black market, posing as a tarnished pet available to buy or sell. But she’s trapped, unable to get back to Penn-the boy she loves-or help the girls who need her.īack in the United States, pets are turning up dead. Her escape triggered a backlash, and now no one’s safe, least of all the other pets. But while she can think and act as she pleases, the life of a liberated pet is just as confining as the Congressman’s gilded cage. In a daring move, she escaped her captivity and took refuge in Canada. Ella was genetically engineered to be the perfect pet-graceful, demure…and kept.
