I received arc for review.3.5 stars ending felt unfinished.This normally isn’t a genre I read but because Katie Ashley is one of my favoriteauthor’s I decided to dive in. One of my first thoughts was this is a goodread across the board, from teen through adult. It’s safe, no heavy romance orsex scenes to worry about and yet it keeps you entertained.We have Cadence the heroine who has two suitors. Micah, her brothers’ lifelong friendand the Kellan son of the Emperor.  I am definitely team Micah, he won me overwith his first kiss and quick humor.The time period is set into the future, where a new world order is in place.The old outdated Political system has been replaced by greedy rich CEO’s, and onlythe rich have a place in society. Women of no class have been banned from educationand are objects for breeding.Religion is a thing of the past, no longer practiced, exceptby “The Believers “who are considered rebellious and should be imprisoned or put to death!Not so different of our current times, so many government officials have banned religiousitems displayed on public property and there has been talk about removing the word GOD fromour pledge of allegiance.What next?Kellan needs a wife and it is ordered; seventeen girls, age seventeen will audition ina Pageant, Candence fears her secret will be revealed…she is a believer. As she getsto know Kellan better she starts to “feel” something for him.The story moved quickly and wrapped up with a dream.  Epilogue was neededas I still have many questions as to what happened to? and did?
