Blurb:
For Kerelle Evandra, her psionic powers have always meant three things: mandatory service to a multigalactic corporation, a luxurious lifestyle as a prized asset, and an electronic collar that will kill her if she steps out of line. As a powerful telekinetic, she’s spent the last ten years of her life in the corporate military, fighting anyone and anywhere the company demands. While she might resent her gilded cage – and obedience to her corporate masters’ cold directives – everyone knows that escape is impossible. And defiance risks not just her own life, but also the life of the person closest to her: Galhen Ambrel, her lover and fellow bound psionic.
But when Galhen’s service contract is suddenly sold to a distant oligarch, Kerelle learns that obedience was not the guarantee of safety she once thought – and that escape may not be as inconceivable as she was taught to believe. When a mission brings her into contact with an unexpected ally, she must decide how far she can go, and how much she’s willing to risk for freedom.
Review:
An unexpected turn of events. I went in thinking it was ONLY going to be a romance, maybe, but it was a whole lot more than that. There is a mix of politics with a social class system. People with powers used for different things in the military. People die. It was a lot darker than what I thought it was going to be. This is not a bad thing, since everyone loves an action packed Sci-Fi.
The characters are great. I had a little bit of a hard time trying to picture the world but I think it was more of a “me” thing than the actual book being the problem. A lot of things going on in my head all at once made it hard to concentrate in the first half of the book. I do enjoy when a lot of things are going on all at once. I don’t mind a little death here and there, so those elements didn’t really bother me at all. I really think that a lot of you will enjoy it.
This action packed Sci-fi with a splash of romance is a great read If you’re looking for a mix of grim with a bloop of glitter. I highly recommend it. Don’t forget to enter the giveaway for a chance on winning a paperback copy of the book. It Is also on sale till 8/24/22!
