First of all a big thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publishers for sending me a copy of this book to read and review.

This was a very intriguing book. I loved finding out about Arcadia and how badass she is. I also enjoyed meeting all of the other characters which includes Jack, Rik and David.

It’s been a while since I read a sci fi but I really enjoyed this one and it made me want to pick up more sci-fi. The main storyline of this and it being set in space was something that I really liked and can’t wait to pick up something else like this.

Wow, what a complete surprise this book is! I thought it was going to be the same old, same old sci-fi book that everyone writes. NOT SO!! This will take you places you never expected and then some! I don't want to spoil the story-line but I highly recommend this. Be prepared for a Cliff hanging ending, but it will make you go and look into book two of this series, which is what a good book should do!!

This was a great book by a new to me author, Dani Hoots. It starts out like most sci fi books and you think it is going to be another same old, same old and then it twists and turns into something completely different! I found the story world to be very believable and the characters well developed - two criteria that are absolutely essential for me in any book. If you like sci fi and want something a little different, I highly recommend this story!

Great cyberpunk story with a strong and very complex female lead in Arcadia. There's very good world building and the story makes sense. The characters are layered and have emotions/reactions that are realistic. I love the complexity of the lead, as a reader I was rooting for her from the beginning, yet she doesn't seem like a really nice person. In spite of that you get a connection with her, understand her motives (helped by the insight in her thought process throughout the book). The plot is interesting with many different, conflicting, loyalties and the choices Arcadia is forced to make. If you don't like a cliffhanger: beware!

The version I read was an ARC and there were a lot of unfinished sentences, double words etc in there. I assume those are fixed. I did finish the book cause I liked it, but it almost made want to put the book away.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

This was an adventure! It has elements of Star Wars, James Bond, and National Treasure. There were action packed scenes balanced with tender, thought-provoking scenes about Arcadia's next move. Arcadia was a well-crafted and complex character which added to her relationship with other characters and the plot. The last few pages ended the book with surprise and wonderment that left me excited for the rest of the series!
