The new American government does everything “for the greater good”. Or, does it?
When Claren Greenwood is identified as an Empath during her aptitude test, she’s offered a rare position among the Peacemakers in her city. Becoming a Peacemaker may finally be Claren’s ticket to a better life, allowing her to overcome a turbulent family history.
But when her brother gets into trouble with the city again, Claren finds herself straddling two worlds - one begging her to work for “the greater good” and the other destroying everything she thought she understood about life in the city. Claren must discover what’s true and what’s a lie in order to save her brother. And she must do it without losing the trust of either side.
Fans of Divergent and The Hunger Games will love this new series by debut author AR Colbert. With political intrigue, espionage, and little romance along the way, this series has it all. Prepare to get hooked!

We start of with a young Claren who has a sharp mind & a great love for her brother. She does have a bit of a complex view of her brother not being intelligent and of needing her to save him. But that's very common of girl siblings in her situation. :-)
She was totally sabotaged by the system, so it seems. Buuttt, that's where the excitement begins. Poor girl, didn't know what hit & it throws here in to a tizzy. Remember, she's only 17!
World building is great and it's easy to visualize all that happens and where at. I kinda think of it as Washington D.C. and the suburbs/cities surrounding with the wilds encircling all of it. But that's just me. ;-)
I'm "reading" via the Audible book. The narrator is great and reads as if their are no editing issues at all which is great!
As for the ending, well, I started book 2 right away but it was after 3am & I fell asleep. Couldn't wait to pick it up the next day. :-D
My star ratings include these 5 elements:
1★ story line
1★ engaging characters
1★ use of world building/descriptions
1★ narration or editing
1★ the ending

Narration by Jennifer Groberg was excellent. Really enjoyed her voice.
I did find myself yelling at a Claren not to trust anyone.... she had to learn the hard way.

AR Colbert has done a fantastic job of building this dystopian world. It was reminiscent of the Divergent series, but with its own twists to make it unique. I also love how Claren is a strong female lead. This is definitely a series to jump into.
Jennifer Groberg’s performance was fantastic. I almost forgot I was listening to an audiobook. It was like I was watching a movie in my head.

This book is like a cross between Hunger Games and Maze Runner. But the best of both those worlds. Claren is everything you would expect her to be. Torn between two worlds not knowing which is the right one. Her empathic ability gives her edge but it also gets the better of her. The ending leaves you in a place of wanting. Wanting to know what happens next. I enjoyed reading this book and I look forward to finishing the series. If you liked hunger games and maze runner you will like this.
Intriguing
