Review: The Collection - Book #2 The Registry - Shannon Stoker - February 2014

One of the things that I love to read about is futuristic societies ruled by a particular set of boundaries. Controlled Dystopian societies like the movie "Equilibrium" with Christian Bale. In The Registry, it is similar to both the Chemical Garden series by Lauren DeStefano and the Elite Series by Kiera Cass. In this society, the females are registered on the Registry and sold to the highest bidder as wives. In the first book, we read as Mia is sold off to Grant but before she can be with him, she decides knowing the truth to run away. In Book #2 The Collection , she is now on the run with Andrew and Carter until their helicopter crashes and Andrew and Carter are taken by the Mexican Militia and Mia is found by Riley - an Irish Operative. During Mia's time with Riley she discovers a whole new world outside of what she has been taught - a world where Women are not defined or objects for their husbands. Meanwhile , Grant - Mia's husband is furious and wants Mia found and killed as no-one beats him. Especially , if Grant is to be the next Chancellor as he is being groomed for success. Can Grant get all his eggs in one basket or will he find that he can only have one or the other ? Will Mia survive Book #2 and with her newfound skills be ready to put them to use alongside the rebellion towards The Registry?
Find out in Book #2 The Collection and I now cannot wait to read the conclusion of the series and I hope that in Book #3 Mia knocks Grant off his high-horse and she ends up being the one on top and not him.
