Ella isn’t anyone’s pet anymore, but she’s certainly not free. After exposing the dark secrets about NuPet’s breeding program, forcing them to repeal the law that allowed genetically modified girls to be kept as pets, she thought girls like her would finally be free. She never dreamed that it woul...

Greedy corporate America, genetically engineered human beings being eradicated and a whistleblower of epic proportions. What's not to love about this series? If the buying and selling of engineered teenage girls in the first book wasn't creepy enough, just wait to see where this second book takes y...

I was very looking forward to this book. Ella now is in Canada, where keeping girls as pets is - luckily - not al...

The idea behind this book is appalling, yet the story was intrigung. The American government passes a law that allows the uber wealthy to OWN genetically engineered girls as PETS. Sick, right? Perfected follows the, pretty predictable, story of pet Ella. Ella goes to live with a congressman and his...

this book and I have an odd sort of relationship with one another. I actually didn't mind the literal objectification of women - the way it was handled was good to me, nice and direct with how it was wrong to treat human beings as if you could own them simply because of your privilege. however, I di...

Wow. Sometimes a single word can sum it up and "wow" does that. Perfected is chilling, emotionally horrifying, and the implications are disturbing. And I loved everything about it! Ella has been genetically engineered to become the perfect showcase piece for the very wealthy. She has been trained ...
