Description
The secret is locked in her mind—and they’ll do anything to get it.
Generations ago, humanity was devastated by a virus that wiped billions from the planet. If not for AmeriGlobe’s Pairing programme to match immune survivors, and VaxWell’s immunity-boosting biomods, humans would’ve died out. Lora Flannigan has sought to conform to the strict laws throughout her eighteen years, and after the Testing she now stands on the brink of a prestigious pairing with high-caste Jarid.
Accepting the match will pull her and her family up from their low-caste existence. But Lora never counted on the sparks that ignite when she meets her Pair’s striking brother: Syeth—dark, brooding and harbouring secrets.
But before she’s managed to make sense of her feelings, he’s embroiled her in the rebellion underworld. And when still darker truths come to light, Lora realizes the purpose behind not only her pairing… but her very existence.

I received a free ecopy of this book for an honest review through Net galley. I thought this was a very well done book and an excellent read. I was a little worried about whether or not I would be able to keep my focus on the book and understand it since the blurb made it sound as if some aspects would be overly technical. I didn't have this issue though. I never felt there was an overwhelming info dump or even got slightly confused. It was a great paced read too without losing vision. It was easy to lose myself into this world and I could see it so easily. Very impressed. I am looking forward to the next in the series and have already marked it on my calendar.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book.
The Pairings was a pretty book, with enough uniqueness to set it apart from other dystopian novels. The main Character, Lora, is written out well and is a likeable heroine. In this world, you are paired with who is deemed your best match, but sometimes, in Lora's case, you are fated for a different future.
This book was good, and it does set up nicely for book 2 without you hanging.
A wonderful YA book with great characters and an engaging story!
Although real life was hard the last couple of days, I always reached for this eARC as soon as I finished work.
The story is full of thrilling situations, lovely moments and secrets. I loved the interaction between the main characters and this fictional glimpse into the future seemed very possible...
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this great eARC!
