Title: Pawn (The Blackcoat Rebellion, #1)
Author: Aimee Carter
Publisher: Harlequin TEEN
Release Date: 26th November 2013
Blurb from Goodreads:
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 Review:

Thanks to Harlequin TEEN and Aimee Carter*
3.5/5
stars
On her
seventeenth birthday Kitty Doe takes a test to see what caste she will be.
Hoping to get a IV, Kitty is disappointed when she receives a III.
After a
series of events, Kitty is offered the chance to become a VII and one of the
Harts, the family that runs the country.
She is Masked - surgically altered to
look like Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who has died and she must stop
the rebellion that Lila had secretly been nurturing.
Pawn was
a good book with some interesting aspects - I liked that Kitty couldn’t read as
it’s unusual for the protagonist to be unable to read.
I also liked the
characters.
I was slightly disappointed with the ending though as it didn't
feel that big or exciting.
Despite
not being wowed I did enjoy this book and its unique dystopian world.
