The Jewel

A good book makes you want to live in the story. A great book gives you no choice.

Book: The Jewel
Author: Amy Ewing
Description: The Jewel means wealth, the Jewel means beauty—but for Violet, the Jewel means servitude. Born and raised in the Marsh, Violet finds herself living in the Jewel as a servant at the estate of the Duchess of the Lake. Addressed only by her number—#197—Violet is quickly thrown into the royal way of life. But behind its opulent and glittering facade, the Jewel hides its cruel and brutal truth, filled with violence, manipulation, and death.
Violet must accept the ugly realities of her life . . . all while trying to stay alive. But before she can accept her fate, Violet meets a handsome boy who is also under the Duchess’s control, and a forbidden love erupts. But their illicit affair has consequences, which will cost them both more than they bargained for. And toeing the line between being calculating and rebellious, Violet must decide what, and who, she is willing to risk for her own freedom.
My opinion about the book: It was so good and the ending just blown my mind. When I first took this book in the hands I honestly say I didn't expect someone that great but I wanted to read because I need to talk about something with some of my classmates. They're into Elite series but my one classmate told me it's similar so I took it. (You know the feeling when you read MANY books and by many I mean really MANY and people talk about the book you didn't read...Great yeah?).
