Blurb: In a dark and desolated After Earth, love still does exist, but the cost of bearing such a flaw is death. World War III has left Earth in utter turmoil. People’s beliefs are said to be the cause of the worldwide destruction. After The Clearing new laws are set about - to show certitude in anything besides the law is weak and chargeable as mutiny. To be illogical and have faith in religion is illegal, to be limitless is dangerous. And Illness is seen as a defect – all flaws that are inexcusable. But to love is the greatest betrayal of all mankind. It is a fault the world has long forgotten and punishable by death, a fatal risk Aecker and Opel are fully prepared to take - because in love there is freedom. But how far can they push back before it claims their lives and of those they care about?

My review:
Opel is hiding with Aecker and his brother. She doesn't know who she is and even what she is. Aecker's brother, want her to leave because he thinks that she is a danger for their community. Aecker doesn't want to see her leaving because he has strong feelings for her. Opel has strong feelings for him too but somewhat it seems wrong. When peoples searching for her discover where she is, she has no choice but to flee and try to find shelter elsewhere. Aecker will help her but to escape. They will soon discover that the people searching for her will not stop until they get Opel and that they are determine. It seems that Opel has something or know something very important for some peoples. What is it? Will Aecker and Opel open to each other? Will they be able to escape? At what price?

I really enjoyed this story. It is different and refreshing and I love the main characters Aecker and Opel. What they mean for each other, how they are ready to sacrifice everything to be together. It means that no matter how our world turns at the end, love will always be there strong. The story is full of suspense and with no dull moments. I am sure that it will not be the end of the adventure for Aecker and Opel. I recommend that you discover that story with me because Carlyle is an amazing woman and a amazing author!!
