About The Sordid Selection
Being told your ideal career and mate sounds perfect until you realize it’s not at all as it seems.
In the nation of Airo-Aurora, data-collecting microchips are implanted in each citizen’s brain to ensure that everyone is slotted into their ideal career and wedded to their ideal mate. Alex Egelton always envisioned a quiet and easy life with a job she’s prepared for and a husband she already knows. Her life is capsized when she finds out she will serve as a handmaid to her future husband—the palace viscount.
Alex is immediately thrust into a frenetic world of tiaras, backstabbing, and mayhem. Her presence at the palace is opposed by all, trustworthiness proves impossible to come by, and her enigmatic fiancé possesses a shady past.
When peculiar scrolls begin to appear with cryptic clues that lead Alex from one palace secret to the next, she soon realizes they have far more tremendous ramifications than she thought.
Will Alex be able to navigate the unwanted life thrust upon her while discovering the truth that will change everything?

“A must read for fans of Allie Condie’s Matched trilogy and Kiera Cass’s Selection series!” –Caroline P., NetGalley Reviewer
“I am not one that has dabbled in Sci Fi very much and especially not YA Sci Fi, this was my first. Let me just put it out there, this book gave me all the feels! I would love book 2 now, please and thanks! If you are intimidated by Sci Fi, give this one a go because I do feel like it is digestible and easy to manoeuvre through. The concepts covered in this book feel relevant to today and I think that’s why it’s so easy to follow. The world building is good, the characters are interesting, and the plot is mysterious….There is tension, emotion, mystery, an overall really good plot, and a CLIFFHANGER (you’ve been warned – but it’s worth it). I am super excited for book 2!” –Carly W., NetGalley Reviewer
