Narrator: Tavia Gilbert My Reading Speed: 1.5x Have I Read The Book Before Listening to the Audio? Yes, years ago Overall Audio Impression: When I read this book years ago, I’m guessing that I got caught up in other books or the books weren’t all out yet and that’s why I never finished the series. It seems like a book series I would have enjoyed reading at the time that I’d read it. As for this read through, I enjoyed it again, though I was a bit uncomfortable with people keeping other people as pets. The storyline is interesting, and I’m wondering how much of the things Ella sees/discovers will carry on into the other two books. And though there is romance, I wasn’t 100% into the match or the build up. I think a teen would, but as an adult I wasn’t here for it. I did love the narrator though! Tavia Gilbert did amazing voices, making each one distinct from the others. I loved that the guys and girls even sounded close to the types of voices you’d expect them to have despite it all being one person. Favorite Scenes: Making a friend Finding a kindred spirit Meeting another pet End scene Reader’s Notes: -this is the first in a trilogy & must be read in order -this is told from Ella’s point of view -Ella is a biologically engineered human & in this world people who are engineered are considered/treated like/called pets and meant to do what their masters/owners desired -there is some suggestive comments -there are some unwanted touches (mainly on the face area or arms) -there is about 5 curse/not nice words -Ella swims in her underwear with a guy (for a swimming lesson) -it is mentioned that a character (pet) was sent back for being pregnant & insinuated that an owner or staff had been involved to get her pregnant
