Review: The Gender Secret

The Gender Secret by Bella Forrest
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

Gliding over the treacherous Green in a shaky aircraft that she has no idea how to land, Violet Bates is still in shock. The harrowing events of the previous night play over in her mind as she asks herself question after question. 

Why did Lee Desmond Bertrand behave the way he did? 

What is the truth about the mysterious silver egg stowed beneath her seat? 

What happened to Viggo and where is her brother? Is either of them still alive?

When Violet manages to reach the toxic ground alive, she has landed in a world of unimaginable danger. She has barely time to catch her breath before she is sucked into a perilous journey at breakneck speed - to uncover secrets guarded for centuries and find the only two people that matter.

My Thoughts:

This book was very well written. It picks up right where book 1 ends. With all the lies being told from both the Patrus & Matrus sides, it is hard to figure out who the good guys are. The truth is even scarier.
I was pulled into this story immediately. I just couldn't put it down. The story was mesmerizing due to the actions of people from both sides. Who do you turn to when both sides are out to get you? One society geared to the success of women and the other to the success of men. I loved how despite the horrific things both societies have done to her, Violet doesn't give up. She is determined to save the people she loves and find somewhere safe for them to live. Somewhere far away from the clutches of Matrus & Patrus. She is exactly the type of heroine that I enjoy reading about. She has weaknesses but her determination and fierce will to survive help her through the trials she faces. I am looking forward to learning more about these societies and how things play out.
