I thought this was a neat concept - a body born with two souls, one that becomes recessive as the child ages and is expected to fade when puberty hits - but had a difficult time believing an entire society built out of the fear of these hybrids. I could see the author was maybe putting a futuristic spin on racism or other differences but she lost me at the end. Maybe because the parents gave in so easily to send the girls to a suspicious hospital... It was very convenient. And of course a set up for book 2. Yvette, Merrimack
