A dark, riveting dystopian tale: Taken from her family and sold to the highest bidder, 16-year-old Serenity is put on display at The Aviary, a museum of living art. To escape, she must earn the trust of Luc, her mysterious captor — but she doesn’t expect to fall for him…

I really liked Serenity a lot. The cover drew me in and then the blurb. Serenity put up for sale and is bought by Luc a owner of an Elite museum, where girls with bird names are the art. She becomes The Swan. Will she be able to leave and find her parent or will she stay in the museum forever.
In a world where prostitution isn’t a crime women’s rights are basically the right to please a man, Serenity must overcome her biggest fears and relearn who she is and discover who she will become. Emily writes an attention grabbing story with lovable characters and a unique storyline.
The aviary is a cautionary tale of what could come. So many times prostitution or sexual situations are glamorized/hollywoodised we lose sight of the big picture. The Aviary is a stark and frightening reminder of what could be.
