Rating and Review


Rating: 3.25 Stars

“Was there some part of her, the woman she’d been before, still inside? Could she find that woman beneath all the metal?”

Despite its short length, Shaw managed to deliver an overall solid and enjoyable storyline. I started it back in March, but put it down until today (end of September), so some part of me felt that the story was worth finishing.

A Sci-Fi Romance
I have made ALL my Kindle notes on Goodreads public. This was a hard book to finish. The plot had potential, but never came through. It has a lot of different types of errors from the writing of the story to the editing and typos. Chapter 11 is missing. You never feel any connection to the main characters nor the world build. Everything feels 1 dimensional. This book needs a serious rewrite!
