Hello
everyone I have some exciting news. I
have a bunch of book reviews coming soon to share with you. And one of my dear friends who is pretty
hilarious and unique has decided to take me up on my offer and is considering
doing a guest post here and there at her fancy which is something to look
forward to. While we work on the details
of that I’ve got lots of books and reviews to do as well, a few ARC’s and new
releases. First of which is going to be
the first book in a new series put out by Ink Monster, Cipher. Cipher is the first book in The Shadow Raven series but as I
understand it will have a different author on their team, two of which are on
my favs list already, writing a full length store in the tale but different
novellas in the time between. See Ink
Monster is different as they collaborate and put out books in the series, even
if it's just a shorter novella type store, every 6 months or so, meaning less
waiting for us impatient readers. The
first book in The Shadow Ravens series, Cipher,
is written by Aileen Erin who writes the Alpha Girls series I have been reading
and reviewing. Also side note the next
one in that series should be out soon as well.

Today
though is all about the new series and that starts with Cipher. In the future world
with enhanced DNA where people can become super powerful, super smart, to name
a few even immortal, not ever helix is good.
Where a helix would show pride and enhancements, those marked with a red
helix are marked with a death sentence, unstable DNA. Cipher is one of those lucky ones with
unstable DNA, which might explain why she can manipulate electricity. When she was only eight years old she made
the mistake of letting her ambitious uncle know what she was and that got her
parents killed and put her on the run.
She's been running for the past 12 years but is tired of running and
hiding and wants more than to just survive.
She wants her life back. Risking
being caught she uses her hacking skills to break into the mainframe but before
she can go through all the info she kinda has a electrical surge and fries her
processor. Not cheap and she has to get
a new one up to her standards, which puts her on a path to meeting her online friend
Knight who is different than she expected.
Trust doesn't come easy for her but between her one honest in person
friend she allowed herself to make and this online pal Knight coming into the
flesh she years for a life she isn't sure she can have.
This
book was a quick read; I read it in one slow shift at work. I couldn’t put it down and was slightly more
anti-social than normal when co-workers wanted to talk. What can I say? The story goes between Ciphers and Knights
POV so we see each of them through different glasses. You see how they think of themselves and how
the other sees them and I always find that great because you can sometimes over
look things in yourself and others see them clear as day. Cipher is an amazing hacker who has wild blue
hair, piercings, and a few tattoos to remind her of things she has given
up. Mostly she is lonely, always on the
run, but has allowed herself to stay a little longer than normal and actual
have a friend in the real world. And
Knight, her cyber buddy who makes her favorite processor, is on his own quest
searching to repay a debt and protect but stuck in a horrible spot to make it
happen. There is a lot going on in the
story and I don’t want to say too much for fear of spoiling you, and you all
know how I feel about spoilers, but it will keep you on the edge of your seat
with actions, chases, fights, etc. And
you also have the connections between the characters and how they develop.
I
will end this saying one of the things I love most about these books from Ink
Monster is there goal is to create worlds and kiss ass characters which I
love. I
give it 5 Knight Processors. I hope you all will give Cipher a chance and fall in love as
well. Cipher comes out on October 14th.
