review 1: I have followed this author faithfully through each and every book that she has written. When she wrote Freak of Nature that became my favorite and thought she could never top it. Boy was I completely wrong this book has totally surpassed my love of her writing. She doesnt have all the rainbows and unicorns in this adventure. She deals with a very real and gritty topic that has been discussed in the news. She maintains decorum in handling this controversial topic and doesnt down play the seriousness of it. I love how she brings the characters to life and drags the reader into the story. I highly recommend this story for so many reasons. I definitely can not wait to see what missions Kaitlyn goes on in future books. My favorite read of 2014. I received a copy in exchange fo... morer a honest and unbiased review.
review 2: Fractured Innocence is the fantastic sequel in the IFICS series. It is is sci-fi, dystopia, romance, and thriller all wrapped up in one cyborg package. It is also a far darker and more intense read than was the first, Freak of Nature. In this book, Kaitlyn has come into her own and living her new life in the best way that she can. Her humanity and her creation to be a weapon have come together to make her what she is today... a black ops-style soldier on a mission of good. The villain in this book is a bad guy of the worst kind. He is the leader of a human sex trafficking ring who also dabbles in drugs and illegal weapons. As much as the story is about Kaitlyn, it is also about Aaliyah, a girl stolen with her little brother off the streets of Detroit. What this girl goes through in this book, and her fellow captives, fractures her soul and changes her irrevocably. It is the mission of Kaitlyn and her partner Erik to take this leader down, and everyone with him so that the captive boys and girls can be rescued. There was such depth of emotion in this book, something that is surprising when you take into account the main character is a cyborg who had lost much of her humanity. But we feel her pain and, more than that, we feel the pain of Aaliyah as she suffers through hell. It is undeniably dark and intense and there are parts that truly touch the heart and shake you to the core. Things to love about Fractured Innocence... --The intense emotions. There is so much pain and happiness and every emotion in between. It is a beautiful, although gritty, ride through humanity in all of its beauty and ugliness. --Kaitlyn. She continues to grow and become more human, although her moments of confusion between her human side and her cyborg side are often hilarious. --The action. As a military girl, I kinda loved the black ops parts!Some quotastic goodness... --There’d been a time in the not so distant past when she was lonely and ached for any human connection (Loc. 45). --Kaitlyn wanted Dasvoik to see exactly what was coming for him. To see the fear in his eyes when he saw a half human raining hell down on him (Loc. 94). --The room seemed to grow smaller as the fear began to swallow her. She was not naive; she knew what he meant by breaking her in (Loc. 595). --And I am probably one of the weakest. She kept that thought to herself. Maybe if she continued to work with Kaitlyn, she, too, would one day be brave (Loc. 2888). My recommendation: Dark and intense,with a heart wrenching story! FANTASTIC sequel! less
