Really enjoyed this one. Dont know why it took me so long to leave my feedback, but long made short, this is a book that should not be passed over. Get it. Read it. You'll love it!

Loved reading this! I wasn't sure what to expect, but this book is so much more than I first thought! So good!

A fast paced, heart racing story. That will keep you on your toes and flipping the pages to see what will happen next.

Omigosh this was so good! It was a lot better than I expected. Really enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised and will be looing for the net book in the series.

Project Prometheus by Aden Polydoros was a fast pace, action packed, heart stopping thriller that had me hooked from start to finish.

Wow, I am in love with this series. It's been a while since I have read a YA that has been so entertaining, original and unique. I've been on a romantic adult book kick, so this book was perfect for braking that binge. It has revamped everything I love about YA.

The writing was smooth, easy to follow, the detail was rich and really brought me into this futuristic world. The characters were well rounded as really made this story special. Cliché's were few and far between making this action packed thriller, fresh and exciting, cause you didn't know what was going to happen next.

Overall I give this book my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. It's a new start to YA, braking now old tropes and cliché, and making it's own.

Happy Reading

This was a fun read. I enjoyed the concept and the characters. I’m excited to read the next installment.

I received this free from NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review.
This is the second book in the Assassin Fall series by Aden Polydoros. It is imperative to read these books in order or you will be lost. Teens are being brainwashed to do whatever a cabal of adults wants them to do, usually assassinations, or in some cases being groomed to take over in key positions. Three of these teens have broken away. Can they stop this heinousness? Will they be able to overcome their own programming? This book will break your heart in so many ways, but you won't be able to stop reading because you have to find out what is going to happen next. Waiting breathlessly for the next in the series.

I found it a little hard to write a review where I was a bit confused at first. It isn’t that the story line wasn’t an interesting one. It kept my interest. The swapping POV’s sometimes went a little of kilter for me. I usually don’t have a problem with a two person back and forth POV, but these three characters were connected in a way yet they weren’t so it was a bit of a stretch for me. It wasn’t that bad though.

This story was about Shannon and Tyler. What they went through at the Academy. Escaping or getting out and trying to deprogram while leaving dead bodies in their wake. Shannon it seems would do anything to protect Tyler. Both were portrayed as strong characters yet Shannon seemed the stronger of the two.

The third person was Hades who from what I was able to gather was hinted at being dead in the first book. I guess it was a good thing he survived as he was supposedly the prototype that all assassins were molded after. He was the best of the best. He seemed to have the hardest adjustment outside of the Academy because of the brainwashing and whole trust issue. He seems to have lost a lot. Hades was described as lethal. He was written with a lot of complicated depth.

Shannon and Tyler were likable characters. Who wouldn’t like them with what they have gone through? I guess you wouldn’t expect teens to become assassins that kill on a moment’s notice.

As the story evolved and I was able to figured things out. I found that all three had a common goal. They weren’t that different. They could actually become friends of sorts and work together towards their goals… revenge and exposing the whole Academy.

Mr. Polydoros gave us a very interesting take on genetic engineering, conspiracy theories along with many other things that are actually happening all over the world. He makes you stop and think…and wonder!

I liked this story yet I feel that I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the first in the series before this one. Oh well, I will just have to go back and read them in order.

I would like to thank Entangled Teen Publishing and the Netgalley website for this partnership.

A third book as beloved as the others.

We learn that the academy stole everything from Hades, the perfect assassin and bodies are left wherever it goes. He finds other assassins who leave bodies everywhere. Tyler and Shannon having already killed for them are looking for scientists. Why is this academy only after Hades? He will seek revenge.

I love this series with a story as captivating as ever, full of suspense and twists and turns. I hope that one day he will release a complete paper version of this series.

Picking up right after the crazy events of book 1, Project Pandora, Project Prometheus shows that Hades is still alive. He has been kidnapped by one of his many enemies from the hospital where he was recovering from a bullet wound , but he won't be a anyone's victim. Tyler and and Shannon have made it out and are experiencing a moment of freedom before the truth hits them- other kids are still being used and it is up to them to make it stop. The three damaged yet determined teens will stop at nothing to bring down the people behind Project Pandora.

Project Prometheus was exactly what I wanted it to be! There was no sophomore slump present in these pages, instead it was full on action, danger, mystery, confessions, twists and some pretty big surprises. Make sure you set time aside to read this book (or really either book in the series) because you will not want to put it down. I was a little concerned picking this up to start that I would not remember what happened fully in Project Pandora since it had such a complicated plot and I read it about a year ago, but that was an idle concern since Aden skillfully wove in the needed tidbits to spark my memory at the start of the book without info dumping or recapping. It was so easy for me to get sucked back into this stressful, wonderful world.




I know I raved about Hades in my review of the last book, but my heart still belongs to this tormented, abused, neglected, pretty sure sociopathic boy. Yes, I am notorious for rooting for the villain/ least liked person, but in this case I see Hades as the hero. Sure, Tyler and Shannon want to do what is right and save the world aka the other teens, and they have a chance of being able to one day have normal lives. But Hades, he will never be "normal" and he is willing to sacrifice himself if he can take the evildoers down (usually by terrible means, but oh well). Keep in mind that I love Shannon and Tyler, and especially the dynamic and banter between them. Aden is great at creating distinct voices for his characters that never overlap and make them feel so real (and that is a big deal here since we are talking about teen brainwashed trained assassins).

And yes, there will be more books to come because in no way was this the end for these characters or this mission- it felt like the war was just starting. More questions popped up right near the ending, so I am dying to find out more. Also, a certain unnamed but completely damaged yet I love character is going in a very different direction and I need to see what happens to him. Aden has made a fan for certain out of me and I look forward to what he has in store for the Project Prometheus.

While the first book was already action packed, this second one in the series succeeds in heightening the tension a notch more.

After their escape, the kids from the project, where they were trained to be assassins and committed terrible crimes without their knowledge, decide to fight back. Told from alternating points of view, the kids must get behind the real intentions and gain proof against the Academy...before they are stopped.

I enjoyed this book even more than the first. The emotions run high as the characters hunt down the proof they need to let the world know what the Academy did to them. There are layers of intrigue as well as many surprises along the way. And, of course, they are up against clever and very dangerous foes.

Each chapter is told from a different characters point of view with the character's name at the beginning of the chapter to keep confusion at bay. The switch from one to the other runs very smoothly and offers important insights at just the right time. The reader gets to know each character extremely well, making certain moments of the book hit hard. The feelings are raw and the determination high, which makes it a great read.

I received a complimentary copy and was so bound to the pages that I wanted to leave my honest thoughts.

Interesting character development!
Thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Teen for the opportunity to read and review Project Prometheus by Aden Polydoros!
This sequel dives deeper into the effects of Project Pandora. My heart broke for Hades. His story is made more powerful through the alternating points of view of Hades, Shannon and Tyler. Hades is on a mission to destroy Charles Warren, the man in charge of Project Pandora and the man who treated Hades horribly while "conditioning" him. Shannon and Tyler search for any and all information that they can find on Project Pandora and come across another project-Project Prometheus. While Project Pandora was about creating assassins through environmental control, Project Prometheus is about creating the perfect human beings to control the future through leadership roles. Hades struggles with staying in the moment and he’s unsure if what he’s seeing is actually real and happening or a hallucination. When he meets his mother, he’s unsure how to feel and when she’s uncaring, his heart grows harder. I’m glad this series hasn’t ended yet and I’m looking forward to the next installment. 5 stars for the character depth and development!

I am not okay! Nope. Not one bit! Aden Polydoros has completely destroyed my feelings. I am a mess. A mess I tell you!

One of the prominent themes in this book was the devastating effect brainwashing and manipulation truly has on a child. Shannon and Tyler were so messed up and they knew it but they couldn’t heal. That tore me up because I really started to have a fondness for them. I wasn’t as invested in them as I was with Hades and Elizabeth but I still care a great deal for them. I just want my babies to be okay. Is that too much to ask??

But do you want to know who just absolutely broke my heart into tiny pieces? Hades. There is a scene, that I won’t tell you about in detail but you will know it when you read it, and it left me gasping for air. I was so raw and so filled with emotion. I couldn’t breathe and had to hold back tears. I’m sure everybody with in a 10 mile radius could heart the shattering of my heart. I am still healing from this.

I appreciate that this book was more about the different projects. We got a lot more information about Project Pandora and we got to see just how messed up the projects really were. However, this did effect the pacing a bit and it was a tiny bit slow in some areas, hence the half star deduction.

But honestly, this book and this series is fantastic. I’m probably it’s biggest fan but I can’t help but love it. I haven’t really found a series that has sucked me in like Harry Potter so I can’t help but be super excited about it! Do yourselves a favor and pick this book and series up today.

Another lovely piece from Aden Polydoros. The plot is active and fast-paced, and my heart stayed with Hades the entire time. Polydoros does an incredible job of balancing back story with the action, and I loved the entire series!

Project Prometheus by Aden Polydoros is the second full length novel of the young adult action packed Assassin Fall thriller series. There is also a prequel novella to kick off the series and it is best to read the books in order or in the very least the two full length books in order as the second book will not make sense jumping into.

The series opened introducing several teens that had been trained at a place known as the Academy. A secretly ran organization had trained them to become soldiers and assassins following orders when given.

Now however the group is onto what has been done to them and finally begin to fight back against those that have controlled their lives. Told from alternating point of views you follow those left from the first book as they go about their revenge and taking out those involved in the project.

Having read all three books of the series my enjoyment has gone up with each I’ve picked up. The series is definitely fast paced and action packed which I love but reading the first full length book it did take a while to get used to the characters having several names referring to them with regular and code names along with case numbers. Now that I know them I just wanted more and more action and answers so when finished with this installment I would rate it at 4.5 stars.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Hades was my favorite of the trio. His character was the one that was written in depth in this one. Tyler and Shannon were likable too but their stories didn't draw me in the same way. The beginning took me a while to get my head into the book but once I did the book was quickly devoured. Action packed and set at a good pace this was a good read but I do wish I read the first book beforehand.

The first book in this series, Project Pandora, was one of my most addictive, electrifying reads last year, and I didn't think I'd survive the wait for book two.  I made it (barely), and dove right into Project Prometheus - and it's worth the wait.

Since he's mentioned in the blurb, I'm not giving anything away when I say Hades is alive.  He continues to be my favorite character in this series, and after learning more of his backstory in the novella, Hades Rising, my heart broke for him.  The Academy made him a lethal, trained assassin with a wavering moral compass at best, and because of that, it's difficult for him to function in normal society.  He doesn't trust easily, if at all, and struggles to find his path in this book after suffering a tremendous loss.

The POV rotates primarily between Hades, Shannon, and Tyler, and while there are several harrowing, nail-biting action scenes, this novel also reveals surprising secrets, unexpected confusing and conflicting emotions from some characters, and strategic plans of revenge and exposure.  And exactly what Project Prometheus entails.

If you're a fan of genetic engineering, conspiracy theories, and anti-heroes, you can't go wrong with this thrill-ride of a series.  

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC.

Excited didn’t even begin to come close to what I was feeling when I saw that book 2 in the Assassin Fall series was up for review. I had read and reviewed Project Pandora and was sucked right into the world that was created. A world that was intense and surreal. A world where teenagers were trained to be the perfect assassins. A world that was flawlessly carried over to Project Prometheus. So, yes, I was excited.

Project Prometheus starts off shortly after the end events of Project Pandora. Hades was taken from the hospital and is being held in the basement of Six’s father’s house. Tyler and Shannon are tracking down the scientists that worked for The Academy. After Hades takes care of business with Six’s father, he tracks down the other scientists to get answers. Will they get the answers that they want? Will Hades get his revenge? You need to read the book to find out.

Hades is one of the most charismatic characters that I have read to date. His personality came off the page. I wondered as I read the book if Six hadn’t been killed if he would have been as focused on revenge. Part of me says “No” but a big part of me says “yes“. He loved Six and would have done anything for her. His reaction to her death was exactly what I thought it would be. He became cold-hearted. But, underneath that cold exterior, you could see peaks of a decent person coming through. Just a peak, here and there. It gave me hope.

Tyler was an enigma. After he was shot, I was expecting him to die. Instead, he defied the odds and lived. His memories of that white room peaked my interest. And his terror at that one Dr chilled me to the bone. Out of the 3 teenagers, Tyler was the more relatable to me. He connected with Caroline, even protecting her when the gunfight happened. I wish that more information was given about the white room and Project Prometheus. I have a feeling that he is going to be even more dangerous than Hades.

Shannon was a loyal friend (or is it girlfriend??) to Tyler. She had some interesting flashbacks too. Makes me wonder if she is part of another project. Her loyalty to Tyler was insane. She went out of her way to make sure he got medical attention when she could have dumped him at a hospital. She found Dr. Miller, a scientist who worked at The Academy and forced her to administer aid to him. I can’t wait to see where the 3rd book goes with her.

Dr. Miller shocked me. I was not expecting the two major bombshells that went along with her plotline. One, I should have seen coming. Because of the hints that were given in both books. But the other one blew my mind away. It actually made me a little sad to see her go down that road. Only because I got a glimpse at a different person than what was exposed.

The end of the book was a whirlwind of activity. I am not going to go into the ending but I will say that there was a huge twist. A twist that I am not too sure if I am completely happy with it. Guess, I’ll have to read book 3 to find out what is going to happen.

What I liked about Project Prometheus:

A) Hades. I kinda had a crush on him

B) Tyler.

C) Shannon

What I disliked about Project Prometheus:

A) Just base information is given about the white room

B) Couldn’t figure out if Shannon was part of yet another project

C) Dr. Miller. Was NOT expecting what happened with her storyline

I would give Project Prometheus an Older Teen rating. There is no sex but there are sexual situations. There is language. There is violence, some of it graphic.

I would reread Project Prometheus. I would also recommend it to family and friends.

I would like to thank Entangled Publishing, Entangled Teen, and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review Project Prometheus.

All opinions stated in this review of Project Prometheus are mine.

**I chose to leave this review after reading an advance reader copy**

Really outstanding story!! Be sure to read book one first so the story makes sense!! The characters are quite believable and understandable, so much so that we feel we really know them! The book is scary, and , unfortunately, it is believable! I really had a hard time putting the book down!!
