Description
Freedom comes at a cost...
Ella was genetically engineered to be the perfect pet—graceful, demure...and kept. In a daring move, she escaped her captivity and took refuge in Canada. But while she can think and act as she pleases, the life of a liberated pet is just as confining as the Congressman’s gilded cage. Her escape triggered a backlash, and now no one's safe, least
of all the other pets. But she's trapped, unable to get back
to Penn—the boy she loves—or help the girls who need her.
Back in the United States, pets are turning up dead. With help from a very unexpected source, Ella slips deep into the dangerous black market, posing as a tarnished pet available to buy or sell. If she's lucky, she'll be able to rescue Penn and expose the truth about the breeding program. If she fails, Ella will pay not only with her life, but the lives
of everyone she's tried to save...

Advance Praise
Praise for Perfected, Book #1 in the Perfected Series:
"I absolutely loved this. By the ending chapters, I was on my feet pacing because I couldn't bite my nails while scrolling pages.
The legislative and ethical exploration of cloning is what intrigued me the most. That, and the fact it is not post apocalyptic or post regime change. It takes place with our current system of government intact. No plagues, wars, or coups change the rules. Our own process allows it. *shudder*" - Mary Lindsey, author of SHATTERED SOULS
"If you love suspenseful, romantic, controversial young adult novels—such as Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout—then I highly recommend reading Perfected. It’s really an awesome read." - Kelsey Ketch, author of DAUGHTER OF ISIS
"Perfected by Kate Jarvik Birch is this delightfully creepy story about "pets" — but not animal pets, human female pets." - Jessie Potts, writer for USA Today's HEA Blog
