Six girls, six boys. Each in the two separate bays of a single spaceship. They have six minutes each week to seduce and to make their choices, under the unblinking eye of the onboard cameras. They are the contenders in the Genesis programme, the world's craziest speed-dating show ever, aimed at creating the first human colony on Mars.Leonor, an 18-year-old orphan, is one of the chosen ones.
She has signed up for glory.
She has signed up for love.
She has signed up for a one-way ticket.
Even if the dream turns to a nightmare, it is too late for regrets.
Thoughts
I can't remember how I found this book, but I will admit total cover buy (❤❤❤), the story focuses on Leonor, a young French girl who was abandoned by her parents and gets chosen by Serena McBee to be one of 12 to travel to Mars and start a new colony.I loved the premise of this, quite a new and novel idea, the hidden camera angle reminded me of Cell 7 by Kerry Drewery, but by adding Space into the equation just pushed this up a notch in my opinion.
The way that the book is set up is from Leonor's point of view, and from the cameras on the Cupido, which I thought was quite a good way of laying out a book of this type, it fits well with the story.
I found myself completely hooked on this book and found myself wanting to know the secrets of all the contestants on the ship. I also wanted to see Serena get her just desserts.
I loved Leonor, it made a change that the main character was French, and I also loved her with Marcus, but I also loved the majority of the characters on the ship. I found Elizabeth to be a 2 faced witch, she's so sweet with the other girls, but when she meets the guys she brings out a completely different persona.
Overall a great book and I can't wait to read the next in the series, which I will be adding to my TBR next month.
