Summary: In a place where being chosen as a bride is what all girls live for, to not be chosen is a disappointment to all. Not to be chosen means to be torn from all you know and love. To be put in a place where nothing will ever change. Yet that is exactly what happens to Carrie. One whose training and schooling had ranked her the highest, who all thought she would be chosen, but was not. She is taken from her family, with the regret and not knowing why she wasn't chosen. She is now a Lint; a reject bride. Her life now will be working in factories that serve the city in which Carrie once lived.

While adjusting to the new life as a lint, Carrie is given an opportunity that has not been given before. The chance to be chosen again by one of the officials of the city. She soon moves back to her home, as the fiancé of Authority Isaac Knight. But all is not as it seems. An enemy is close, but no one can find him. Carrie's best friend is arrested, and in trying to help her, Carrie has placed herself as the next target. With time running out will the truth be known?

I've enjoyed what books I've red by Ted Dekker, and when I saw his daughter, Rachelle Dekker, was writing this book, I was excited. I really enjoyed the story. It was full of excitement, twists and turns, and the characters were wonderful. The whole book kept me turning pages, and I couldn't put it down. Rachelle Dekker did a wonderful job writing the story, and making it full of excitment. The only thing that I would say in a negative way was that the beginning of the book was a bit confusing, but later on it was explained. (so all in all it was fine.) I fully enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the next Seer novel. I would definitely suggest this book; it's a must read.

Oh. My. Gosh. Really. After reading this 424 page book and that’s what I got to say. I know, I know. That’s not a review, but gosh. Rachelle Dekker can write a book!

There seemed to be buzz around the web questioning whether Rachelle was going to live up to the hype. I mean, her dad is Ted Dekker (yes, THAT Ted Dekker). Psh. Dad being Ted Dekker or not, The Choosing is proof the girl can write. Can stand on her own.
