Pawn (The Blackcoat Rebellion #1) by Aimee Carter

Synopsis:
YOU CAN BE A VII. IF YOU GIVE UP EVERYTHING. 

For Kitty Doe, it seems like an easy choice. She can either spend her life as a III in misery, looked down upon by the higher ranks and forced to leave the people she loves, or she can become a VII and join the most powerful family in the country. 

If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked—surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family, she will be famous. She will be adored. And for the first time, she will matter. 

There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed …and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must decide which path to choose—and learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only beginning to understand.

My Rating

-3.5/5-

This was a good enough book nothing really horrible about it.You have good characters and a good story.

Kitty (which is an extremely weird name) goes into prostitution pretty much so she can stay close to her boyfriend Benjy tell he becomes 17 and takes the test. The test basically test's what you know so you can be placed somewhere in society. The lower you are placed the harder you life will be. Also if you are placed to low you are sent to else where.

Kitty goes into prostitution but is instead bought by the Prime Minister and offered to become a VII. Since VII is the best she accepts the offer. Soon though she finds out why and has been transformed into Lila Hart. So then she is expected to be exactly like Lila. Live the life Lila lived like nothing is wrong. Basically during all this she is everyone's puppet and does what she is told. Other wise she would be killed or Benjy would be killed.

This book is defiantly interesting enough. No one seems to be who they say they are and all the time new secrets are being told and forced out there. 

You don't really get to know characters all too well which is not to great. Kitty though is very bold I think she makes a lot of choices that she knows will likely kill her. She also makes a lot of last minute choices which is interesting. Though I don't know how much different Kitty was or is from Lila and I wish they would have emphasized that a little more. 

In the book Lila is engaged to Knox and Kitty is dating Benjy. With Kitty needing to play Lila though she also has to pretend and act engaged to Knox. Though it seemed like a love triangle would develop out of that thankfully it didn't. I don't really like love triangles all that much. Though it seems like it would create a problem in the next book.

Overall it had it's flaws but it wasn't bad. I liked the book!
