SUMMARY :
comfortable life with her three elderly aunts and grandmother, and was sent to live at Harlow School for Girls. After she fell in love with Jason Barstow, a boy at Hendricks School for Boys, she was accused of trying to find shadow children in her school and was arrested by the Population Police along with Jason.
Nina wakes up in a jail cell. She is given two options from a Population Police official she calls "The Hating Man": get three other prisoners to admit they are shadow children and be spared, or refuse to cooperate and be killed immediately. Emotionally torn, she is moved into a different cell with three other children, Matthias, Percy, and Alia, who are ten, nine, and six years old. They are shadow children who are orphaned, and who have no chance of survival.

REVIEW :
Honestly, I was very unhappy with this book. WHY? Simple, because it made no absolute sense from the second book. It didn't even continue from the second book. IT was just different and it even was in the point of view of a character that I didn't even notice in the second book.
Sadly, it was in Nina's point of view. Unfortunately, the whole story revolves around Nina and not Luke a.k.a Lee Grant.
Point is, I was waiting for Luke in this whole book and he didn't appear until really late.
So he's not the main character in this book.
It was odd.
However, I have to admit the writing style was still very good and eventhough I hated Nina, I loved Matthias, Percy and Alia. (and I wished it was about them instead)
And eventhough this wasn't a great book compared to the last two but I still like this series. Let's just hope the author doesn't do this again.
I rate this book 4 out of 10 stars.
