(June 25th 2012) I just started reading this book today and really didn't want to put it down, but alas I had to go to work.I am loving the characters and clear easy flow of the story so far. This is a book I would highly recommend to my friends to read and even though I haven't even finished reading it I know its going to be one that has me eagerly awaiting the next in the series ( Trilogy ).
----------------------------------------------
(June 27th 2012) I finished reading the book today and thoroughly enjoyed the story, characters and plot, I believe book two is due out later this summer and I cant wait to read more.
Claudia Carozza has created a great, believable world with wonderful characters, especially Hazel who i'm sure you'll soon grow to admire and love. Claudia is an author that i'm sure we'll see a lot more of as she has the abilty to tell a very good story.
The great thing about this book is it is suitable for all ages to read, the author relies on true storytelling skills instead of feeling the need to use swear words, sex and undue violence to spice the story up, but rest assured it lacks nothing for that. This book is certainly good enough to stand up on it's own against the best of the Dystopian literary genre out there.
Check it out, you'll love it :-)
------------------------------------------------
Below is the synopsis (copied) of the book:-
Imagine living in a time when infertility runs rampant and babies are no longer being born. The world is crumbling around you as people start talking about the end. This is the world Hazel DeSales grew up in. After her mother dies from a mysterious cancer, Hazel finds herself taking care of her younger sister Netty and alcoholic father.
It's not until twenty women, known as the Elect, become pregnant all across the Barronlands when things start looking up. Hazel and Netty apply for jobs working as domestics in the Antioch Center where the Elect will be taken care of and protected. Hazel feels change in the air and her outlook for the future starts to improve.
But she soon learns that change is not without consequence. Rumors are brewing about a government cover up and Hazel finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. So begins the unraveling of secrets that uncover things from her past and, threatening her future. Hazel is determined to seek the truth and promises herself to do whatever it takes to succeed.

How do you do that? When I try to post reviews on Amazon it doesn't let me because I didn't purchase the book there. I have a Nook not a Kindle. Does that matter?

Stefani I am sorry you think we have downplayed your concerns, but like I said my email address is all over goodreads and I don't get authors emailing me.
If anyone has a concern about email addresses I would suggest you set up a email account just for your arr books and not use your personal address.

Book Description
Imagine living in a time when infertility runs rampant and babies are no longer being born. The world is crumbling around you as people start talking about the end. This is the world Hazel DeSales grew up in. After her mother dies from a mysterious cancer, Hazel finds herself taking care of her younger sister Netty and alcoholic father.
It's not until twenty women, known as the Elect, become pregnant all across the Barronlands when things start looking up. Hazel and Netty apply for jobs working as domestics in the Antioch Center where the Elect will be taken care of and protected. Hazel feels change in the air and her outlook for the future starts to improve. She even befriends the lone rebel, Shane, who increasingly drops hints that he’s interested in more than just friendship.
But she soon learns that change is not without consequence. Rumors are brewing about a government cover up and Hazel finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, overhearing sensitive information not meant for her ears. So begins the unraveling of secrets that uncover things from her past and rattle her future. With the help of Luka, a former police officer turned tattoo artist vying for her affection, Hazel is determined to seek the truth and promises herself to do whatever it takes to succeed.
