This is the first book I have read from this author. To me, it was a bit slow starting and the characters were too much one dimensional. The book had potential.

** I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.**
Although the premise was interesting, I just could not connect to this book. I never got enough information about any of the characters to care about them. Both of the main characters were flat. Although I learned a lot about the characters, I never got their personalities. It was not an awful book but it was not for me.

Starts in November 1938, Germany, then jumps forward to 2011. Daniel has been changed from a sick young man and has become a super hero nicknamed Lionheart. Daniel was an American visiting Germany, then taken and experimented on by the Nazi's. He's rescued but has changed into a super soldier, but still thinks himself as a ""sick, weak, clueless kid from the Bronx." Seeking answers he returns to the Nazi camp seeking answers and next finds himself in Iraq deserts in 2008. He's taken in by a group, that brings super powered beings together to work to keep the world safe. For all of Daniel's strengths, is social awkward and shy.

In 2011, Nina joins the ranks of their super hero team but has lost her memory. When she meets Daniel they have an instant connection. This story is mostly about their relationship, it's slow and awkward and full of fumbling as Daniel has no confidence or experience and Nina has no memories, but knows she feels safe and comfortable with Daniel. The action and adventure are more like little side trips in this story and while some things are revealed, most is left dangling by the end of the story.

It was an interesting, albeit slow read. The relationship between these two is painful at times and when Nina's true nature is revealed Daniel takes his shock to extremes, avoiding her. I didn't care for Daniel very much, right then even if the author tries to explain his low self esteem as the cause of his jerkiness. In saying all that I am interested in where this series plans to go. I voluntarily received this book for an honest review.

The premise of this book drew my attention because it sounded unique. Unfortunately, it took me a little longer than I would have liked to feel invested in the storyline. There was a lot of "setup" early in the book. Due to this, the book did not flow as smoothly as I thought it should have. However, once the book captured my attention, I was definitely connected with what was going on. Also, I enjoyed the quirkiness of Nina and Daniel's characters. Overall, I think this series is promising and look forward to continuing it.
