Sadly a series that I've 100% DNF , tried more then once and still couldn't get into this series ,just not for me at all. .

"Draw Date" is a gripping dystopian novel that immerses readers in a future where democracy is fought for against the oppressive United Corporations of America. The Wildcards, a group of heroes, instill hope and ignite resistance among the citizens. The book balances intense action with a sense of impending danger, keeping readers on the edge of their seats. With its compelling storyline and well-crafted world, this dystopian thriller is a must-read for fans of the genre.

Draw Dead by O.E. Tearmann
Aces High, Jokers Wild #5

2159 AD could be utopian or dystopian depending on what earthlings opt to do now…in this world inhabited by dogmatic autocratic controlling corporations, dissenting Dusters, and Fringers on the outside…utopia does not exist for a select few and even for them…it is not all that. It is a world I hope to never see but one that is populated with characters I can’t wait to spend time with because the Wildcards ARE all that and perfect company as they fight to right wrongs.

What I liked:
* The Wildcards and dissenters working to find out what the cause of and solution for the unconventional weapon of war launched on them by the corporations
* The way they came together to assist the Writers Union
* Seeing how the Wildcards are coming along two years after the last book took place
* Aidan & Kevin: commander and logistics officers of Base 1407, married and settled, loving, wise, kind, strong, and there for one another, their team and others
* Janice: hydroelectric officer, trans woman, agriculture and science savvy, protective, strong, assertive, and ripe for a relationship – really liked her interaction with young Abigail and Milo
* Milo and his daughter Abigail: Milo had some brainwashing to overcome and does so as the story progresses, Abigail was there to help not only her father learn but assist on the base – the tie between father and daughter was wonderful
* Catching up with the other characters on the base: how the younger ones are changing, how the ones in relationships are faring, and what they are up to in general
* The camaraderie of the Wildcards and how they are there for one another as well as for others that are in need even
* The sci-fi aspects that I wouldn’t mind seeing invented sooner than later
* The impact that the dissenters are having on the Corporations
* Being able to identify with and root for those working against the corporations
* That this series is so believable,educational, illuminating, and relatable
* Thinking about and hoping for the overthrow of the corporations
* All of it except for…

What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* The loss of innocent lives

Thank you to NetGalley, Amphibian Books, and Books Forward PR for the ARC – This is my honest review.
