Alaina's ten year mark with her husband is about to be reached. At the end of the term they must either both choose to remain in the relationship and begin the next term of their lives with the prospect of children or search out a new partner in The Discovery Center. When she is informed her husband decided against extending their relationship she was shocked and hurt, but with the attentions of her inductor at the center life begins to take an exciting turn. However, he isn't the only one interested as Killian has arrived with motives of his own. The choices she makes could have consequences she had never before even considered on her life and others.
I found a snippet of this book somewhere or other talking about how you got your partner for ten years and then you changed or remained. I was intrigued and as soon as I started this book I loved it. It is post-apocalyptic in a way. The world is controlled in every aspect, down to the weather, of anyone within the dome. Their entire worlds exist within the dome and everything is regimented. The world within the bounds works tirelessly to hide that their society is on a downward spiral with less and less women being born every year. Meanwhile, the world outside the dome is wild, untamed, and flourishing. Just so long as they are never found by the authorities.
The book is well-written and exciting. I loved her slowly carving out a place in the world while the story built in another way as well. Every choice was her own as we discovered her future and her past. Killian was immediately my favored choice, although there is always something about the morally grey choices in men. This is absolutely a book that I have added the next book in the series to my TBR, but who knows when I will be reading it considering BookTok is terrible for me ever completing said list.
This book is available on Kindle Unlimited or buy it on Amazon for $3.99 by clicking here.
