Having been rescued, Remade, and returned to Freedom, Theron faces a life without Nine. Though he’s chosen to be a healer, he can’t find the peace he so desperately needs. Everything in Freedom reminds him of Nine. But then he meets Catcher and begins to uncover the dark truths behind Freedom’s batcher program—and the virus.Catcher teaches Theron what it means to be a leader and of the value of family and fatherhood. When he falls in love with a captured rebel, Theron must choose: stay in Freedom with its easy pleasures, or join the Rise and pursue a life that is truly free.

Goodreads review by Brenda on June 12, 2016

I can't decide how I want to rate this one, so I'll settle at a nice middle-of-the-road three stars.

I was given an ARC in return for an honest review. Also, I keep things vague so that I don't give anything away. No spoilers. You're welcome. I’ve been waiting for this book since I finished the last page of “Remake.” Theron, my poor Theron. Ilima Todd certainly knows how to stick her characters......more
