Tarnished

The Perfected Series, Book 2

By: Kate Jarvik Birch

Narrated by: Eboni Flowers

Freedom comes at a cost....

Ella was genetically engineered to be the perfect pet - graceful, demure - and kept. In a daring move, she escaped her captivity and took refuge in Canada. 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. Her escape triggered a backlash, and now no one’s safe, least of all the other pets. But she’s trapped, unable to get back to Penn - the boy she loves - or help the girls who need her.

Back in the United States, pets are turning up dead. 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. If she’s lucky, she’ll be able to rescue Penn and expose the truth about the breeding program. If she fails, Ella will pay not only with her life, but the lives of everyone she’s tried to save....

Riveting until the very end

A great sequel to the first book. This book kept me invited until the very end. I think this book would have been a little better is we had more of Missy’s point of view. Overall it’s a good book.

Cringe Worthy

It was difficult to understand why Missy did things for Ella when she was such a brat. I found myself cringing throughout the book. Regardless, this is a interesting storyline. Narrator did a good job.

Main character is too stupid for words

Free, but not even worth that. The MC is just too dumb to want to keep reading.
