Short Synopsis: Eden must mate by eighteen or will be banished from home. But who will mate with a white-skinned pearl, in a world filled with dark-skinned coals?

My Thoughts: An interesting take on the dystopian world, with characters leaving you wanting more.

Eden is a seventeen year old girl, living in a world where dark-skinned coals, are the favored race, and Eden is the odd girl out, as she is a white skinned pearl, and constantly looked down upon. In a dying human race, Eden must mate before the age of eighteen or risk being banished from her home, and ultimately facing death.

If Eden can mate with a dark skinned coal, she will be safe. She is also secretly in a relationship with Jamal, a very desired dark skinned coal, and feels that he is her ticket to safety, and continues to feed Jamal information about the company that she and her father work for.

But everything goes awry when Eden finds out that Jamal hasn't exactly been who Eden thought he was, as Eden and her father must escape from Jamal's evil clutches. Can Eden and her father survive in a whole new world, and perhaps find love, and come to accept who she is?

An interesting dystopian world filled with entertaining characters. Foyt gives a fascinating take on how a certain majority race is viewed in the eyes of an outcast. I felt a lot of sympathy for Eden as she struggles to live in a world where she is practically ostracized, and used.

Foyt does an excellent job of really disliking the character Jamal, and shocked over what he did to Eden. I enjoyed reading the relationship between Eden and Bramford, and how their relationship grows through time. I wasn't too fond of how Bramford continually thought of Eden as his past lover, Rebecca, though was understandable.

I was shocked that Jamal was so deceiving, and even towards the end, he was unpredictable through out. I enjoyed reading how deceiving Jamal was overall, and can't wait to read more about this character. I also wasn't too fond of the science that was involved, but understood that it was a major part of the novel. All in all, an appealing take on the dystopian world, with characters that make you think twice about certain situations.

Would I recommend this book: Yes

Rating: I give this book a 3/5.
