Pulse Pounding and addictive, GLOW begins the most riveting series since The Hunger Games.

In this thrilling installment, a violent battle separates two young lovers on a ship bound for New Earth.  Will they find a way back to their ship-and each other?  And most importantly, will they survive and preserve the future of the human race?

My Review:

I was hoping to fall in love with this book.  It is about 2 different ships that has left earth right before its destroyed in search of New Earth.  On one of these ships we find a girl named Waverly that is 15.  Her boyfriend and for all other purposes her intended is Kierian.  Kierian is next in line to take over the ship.  Waverly and her generation is the first to be born on the ship.  Because children are so important for the survival of their race, the girls on the ship are expected to have babies at a young age. A couple chapters in the other ship the NEW Horizon has slowed down so much so the Emptyeon would catch up with them but no one knows why.  Turns out the New Horizon has ran into fertility problems and there is no children on board.  What will happen with these two ships and their people?  I liked the concept of this book and the writing but for some reason the characters did not draw me in.  Will I read the 2nd book in this series, sure but it needs to be better than this one if the author wants me to read a 3rd.

Have you read this book, what did you think?  Happy Reading!!
