In 2234 men are extinct, having been deemed unnecessary.
This is the story of Candice Harlow, a brilliant young scientist arranged by Arkite's supreme ruler, Elise Jackson, to lead the Savant project. A.I. is forbidden to experiment with human genes, so it enlists researchers--Savants. Savants work to create a human being from scratch to serve as a blueprint for immortality.
Candice likes her newfound wealth and status, but she's not sure she likes Elise. Elise is unhinged. She's manic, has a furious temper, and seems to care more for Candy's dollface than her scientific aptitude. By day, Candy flies her bike to HQ laboratory. By night, she's whisked off to fancy restaurants and nightclubs.
The project's genesis is not unlike Frankenstein's creature. Though not hideous, the creation is shunned by the all-female society. Candy shelters and cares for the creation, but not before she's unfairly betrayed and accused of the worst possible crime.

Candy Savant A L Hawke Books Reviews
- Engaging from start to finish. Even though the book takes place over 200 years from now, the characters and the issues they deal with are very relatable. It is hard not to root for Candice and feel empathy for the situation she is in. And hopefully we never have to work with…or worse yet, report to someone like Elise. Talk about walking on eggshells! The future world that this story takes place in is not far-fetched given modern technology and its increasing use of artificial intelligence. I recently saw a video interview with a female robot and I was amazed at how realistic it was. This book really makes you think about the issues that such technology would introduce and the possible ramifications. The book did not disappoint.
- I don't typically dip into Sci Fi. This book shares about our possible future really drawn me in. It has a definite touch of romance in a twist of futuristic outlook in a sci fi story. It is worth exploring this up and coming author's work. I am glad I gave myself to read it. I am looking forward to more of this author's work in future. ALH gave me a new perspective for a sci fi story.
- A friend recommended this book to me. I loved it, it was very interesting, it's those that once you start reading you can't stop! Highly recommend ! And best of all, you can't beat the price. Buy it, you won't regret !

- This book takes place in a futuristic society in the year 2234. Candice "Candy" Harlow, a talented, young scientist, is appointed as head of the Savant project by Elise Jackson (otherwise known as "Mother") who is the supreme ruler. The Savant project is very elite and involves research into designing a human being "from scratch" to be used as a blueprint for the ultimate goal of attaining immortality. Men no longer exist in this futuristic society. The only remote indication of a male influence is through their AI/computer known as Rex. Elise selects Candice for this position due to her physical attributes and not her actual qualifications. However, she is surprised when Candice proves to be a gifted scientist who progresses quickly with the project.
Candice is unsure of her feelings for Elise but she can't really refuse her advances as Elise is the head of their society and everyone fears her. Candice enjoys the wealth and prestige that her new position has provided her. She also is very dedicated to her job and spends countless hours working in her lab. Elise runs their society with a iron fist and appears to have little to no loyalty to anyone except for possibly Candice.
The book, Candy Savant, is a sci-fi blending of Frankenstein along with a futuristic tale of an all-female society. Initially, it wasn't quite what I expected but I kept reading. As it progressed, the storyline proved to be unique and creative. There were some things that felt rushed. In addition, I would have liked a little more backstory. Specifically, I wanted to better understand what happened to all of the men. Were they killed? Did they gradually die off? Did they intentionally breed them out? Also, for me, it would have enriched the story if there had been more information about their societal structure and the different classes. It was touched on but not in depth. The end of the book is written in a way that a sequel could easily follow so perhaps some of these questions will be answered in the future. This was definitely a different read for me and I enjoyed it.
I would rate this book at 3 1/2 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. - Amazing Book!!!!
On the edge of my seat the whole time. I didn’t get any sleep because I just couldn’t put the book down. From the first page the author engages with you!! Very well written.
Waiting for the sequel
