Review: Traitor

Title: Triator
A Twisted Fate Novel
Author: Alyson Santos
Blurb:

They may be refugees but Andie Sorenson never chose to flee when government forces abduct her to the “safety” of a military-operated compound. Caught in an ugly civil war no one understands, she’s now a number, a uniform, her future reduced to three stale meals a day with the strangers who share her fate. She’s nothing, no one—until a random act of compassion and an electric smile turn her prison into a refuge.

It’s his eyes, his heart, his beautiful soul drowning in an ocean of secrets. Lance Corporal Kaleb Novelli is an enigma, but with each plunge through another layer, Andie finds herself captured in a way she never imagined. She knows they have no future. They can’t even have a present, but that doesn’t stop her heart from committing to a man she can never have. The only one she trusts in this battle of lies and manipulation.

But they’ve found their paradise in hell, and she can’t shake the feeling that Kaleb Novelli is not just a player. He’s the game.

Review:
I am still reeling from this book- my thoughts a jumbled incoherent mess.

There is a war going on. Andie became a refugee- but it's more than just black and white; good and bad. She doesn't know who to trust. Until she lays eyes on Kaleb. She shouldn't trust him- he is just like every other solider she has encountered- except... He's not. He is so much more. He has compassion, and a soul... But he is drowning. In lies, secrets, and deception.

She develops feelings for a man that she can't have.

Kaleb and Andie find Paradise in their little stolen moments in hell- but Kaleb is just another player, a pawn, in the game- in the war surrounding them. Will Andie and Kaleb survive, or will their hearts cause them to be just another casualty?

I was drawn into this story- always needing to know what happens next, and trying to put the facts together and make sense of everything going on. I loved it- it was a combination of romance and dystopian. Set in a civil war that has been going on for years. It was sweet, heart wrenching, and thought provoking.  I loved Kaleb and my heart went out to him and everything he had been through. 4.5 amazing ⭐ out of 5⭐

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties.
