About this ebook
In this nail-biting thriller for fans of The Hunger Games and V for Vendetta, a spirited young mother must bring down a tyrannical government to save herself—and her illegally born son.
Worldwide overpopulation. Legalized suicide. A government dedicated to reducing citizen numbers. And a woman who is sentenced to death, but refuses to be culled.
Cassie O’Neil broke the law: she had sex before marriage. After learning she was pregnant, she hid from everyone and gave birth alone. Now she must give her life in exchange for the baby she illegally produced. But before she commits suicide on a game show watched by millions, she finds a will to live she didn’t realize she had, and goes on the run.
Cassie is forced to steal to survive, and she finds herself among a dissident group that is plotting to sabotage a laboratory containing a secret virus that is far more important than any of them realize. Captured by the police, they are taken to a secret government installation. Now the group’s only chance at survival is to accept the Prime Minister’s mission—a mission that forces Cassie to make the decision she’s been running from for so long.
Fast-paced and utterly enthralling, this follow-up to Lisa Hinsley’s dystopian debut The Plague will keep you turning the pages through the exploits of an unforgettably tenacious heroine.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Ultimate Choice, a novel that opens with a woman who "volunteers" to go on a game show where she ask questions to help the audience choose who will receive her harvested organs. During a disruption, she escapes and becomes an illegal, hunted by the police and forced to live in the shadows. I liked the premise, I liked the characters. Hell, I LOVED the ending, warped as it was. Why the 3 stars? There were just a few things that really threw me off. For example, and I saw this in another review, how does the protagonist get pregnant, give birth to a boy, and still not understand how a man pees? Granted, it didn't affect the plot much, but it did make me stop and reread the passage as I was certain I'd misunderstood. Here and there I ran into similar instances where I just had a hard time believing actions, reactions, thoughts, etc. Good book, just needed a little more polish.
