Publisher Description
Bluebell has spent the last twelve years of her life at Training Tech, the government-run boarding school all children are required to attend. Now that she's seventeen she is fully prepared for Incorporation; a time when females and males are allowed to mingle again, for the first time since they were toddlers. It is also the day she must endure Citizen Branding - the mandatory searing of a mark into the flesh of the left wrist of all new Citizens. O for fertile, X for infertile. The fate of every Citizen, male or female, is determined by the results.
Bluebell knows that a Citizen’s duty is to live for the glory of Concord, just as she was taught. But the frantic dreams and hazy memories that haunt her make her different, and the questions she cannot deny threaten to turn her world upside down.
LUSH is the first novel in the LUSH Trilogy... as the beginning novel, it sets you up in the LUSH world and asks a lot of questions; many that are not immediately answered. The story continues in HUSH, and concludes with CRUSH.
Also by S.L. Baum - The Immortal Ones series - YA Paranormal
The first novel - A Chance for Charity (The Immortal Ones) - is a FREE download!
Customer Reviews
Great but a little anticlimactic
I feel like this book series was rather short in the sense of a plot. The author did a great job with the storytelling and details. Love the way it’s written…very detailed in fact. However, the opportunity to write an amazing love story was missed. Everything was so shallow in terms of exploration of relationships. Another thing, the plot was sooo underwritten and a little underwhelming. The author spent sooo much time on details that when the important events happened they seemed to be lacking. It was like “this happened oh well the end” like okay… but great read. I read a book per day.
Liked the way it's written!
I like the idea of making it how you did! Can I just say thanks for naming the chapters because that doesn't happen anymore!
So it's a good read and worth the time. I enjoyed reading and thinking of how this world could one day be.
Fantastic read
I love these books so much.
My only gripe is that the book covers are kinda odd. They don’t really fit the actual story line. I feel like bluebell flowers, dystopian buildings, the ring, or something along those lines would fit the book better.
That’s just me being a hyper focused artist though, I promise the books are worth reading. I devoured one a day!
