<description><![CDATA["Elysia is a Beta, a teenage clone.  Another girl had to die in order for Elysia to exist for the sole purpose of being a companion for the children of Demesne, an island paradise for the wealthiest people on Earth. Being soulless, she should not experience taste sensations, feelings, or care for others, but Elysia finds she does enjoy chocolate, feel pleasure when swimming, and cares for a boy who is considered off-limits to her. If discovered, she will suffer a fate too terrible to imagine.  Bestselling author Cohn's latest endeavor is a highly original look at a decadent society in the first of a four-book series that will leave you both dazzled and disturbed." -- Karen Briggs, Great Northern Books and Hobbies, Oscoda, MI]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["Richards hits it out of the park with her dystopian love story set in the aftermath of a bloody vampire war.  The tale alternates between the voices of Natalie, the human, and Ash, the half-blood Darkling, allowing the reader a deeper look into two very different aspects of society. The wall that separates the Darklings and the humans gives the illusion that things are getting back on track, but one chance meeting between Natalie and Ash changes everything.  Their story is part romance, part thriller, and completely amazing, and you will not be able to put this book down. I can't wait for the sequel!" -- Alexis Duell, Market Block Books, Troy, NY]]></description>
