Birthmarked (Birthmarked, #1)

This is a story made 300 years into the future. The main character is Gaia, a scarred, 16 year old midwife, taught by her mother. They live on the outside of the wall of the Enclave. They live to serve the Enclave.
The first three babies of each month, from each midwife(I believe there is three midwives, though I'm not 100% sure) will be advanced to the Enclave to have a better life. You should feel honored to have your baby advanced.. Well, some things start to change and Gaia starts to question the Enclaves motives when her parents are placed under arrest.
I love the world and the characters this author created!!!
This story was amazing! Gaia's such a strong, heroic girl. Her parents were amazing people. I loved the coding and the puzzles. I like how they have everyone dressed in the Enclave, to sort of code everyone. This was an entertaining journey.
I'm looking forward to learning more about Gaia's brothers and her family in the next book.
I can't wait to reunite with all of the characters that helped Gaia along the way. I loved them all!!! I'm also hoping for more puzzles, which made birthmarked a little unique.
SPOILER ALERT***
And Leon... no way could she have killed him off! :)

I think the book that you entered is the second book to this one called Prized, it's not yet out to the public and I have my fingers crossed that I might win this giveaway!
That last sentence could be considered a spoiler. I haven't read the book and was a little disappointed to know that about the end
Alisha, I'm sorry! I will change that to a spoiler. You should definetly read Birthmarked, I loved it and the second book Prized is just as good, both books are on my favorites shelf :) sorry again for the bit at the end of my review, I really hope that didnt change your mind about reading it.
