The Contest

By: K.E. Ganshert

Narrated by: K.E. Ganshert

In a world of haves and have nots, where petty crime is punishable by death and magic is forbidden, a deadly contest unfolds in secret. Twelve competitors are mysteriously invited. The winner gets one wish.

For Briar Bishop, this means saving her brother from execution by guillotine, and she’s not going to let anything or anyone get in her way. Especially not Leo Davenbrook, a mischievous flirt and the handsome High Prince. He's grown up with everything she never had and his very presence threatens her chance at survival. She has no idea a darker battle wages in secret, one that could lead to a fate far worse than the death of her brother.

The perfect dystopian

I enjoyed every minute because the pacing of the book was so well thought out, and I really admire the authors ability to create such dynamic characters. I would absolutely recommend. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Great for Fans of The Hunger Games
