Breeders - Ashley Quigley

In Breeders

we meet Ariet.

She lives in a new world.

One isolated from disease and war.

Her daily life,

follows a simple routine.

Each morning,

everyone has a brief medical examination.

One day,

what seems like a routine medical exam

everything is thrown upside down.

Ariet is drugged

and taken away from her family.

She is told she is the carrier of a unique gene

and therefor she is to become a breeder.

Her family will be told she died of an illness.

Ariet learns,

that not only is she a breeder

but her mate has been chosen for her.

She is given a few weeks to get to know her mate,

and then she is expected to start the breeding.

However, 

if the child does not carry the desired gene,

her pregnancy

and possibly her herself 

will be terminated. 

The concept of the book was fabulous

however,

it felt rushed.

Her relationship with Mason

doesn't really develop.

Do they have feelings for one another

or not?

We learn his parents were terminated

but never learn why.

At the end,

Mason's friend Thor

meets his grandfather.

And then we're at the epilogue.

Really?

Just cut us off like that?

So I don't know.

Did I love the book?

No.

But I did enjoy it.

That counts,

right?
