BOOKWORM REVIEW: Hard Drive by January Bell
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥
Hard Drive is the second installment of January Bell's Neon Renegade series. Cyn had given up hope to get out from Nustof's control. After the Impericorps invaded her town, she escaped to Briganed only to be indentured by the Outerspace crime boss. Now she has become a sought-out hacker, but as Nustof slowly but surely loses control, she becomes a liability.
Fintan is brought in as a Cymech guard to watch over Cyn, but he is not fully under Nustof's control, either. The two form an alliance and escape.
My favorite part about January Bell's books is her wonderful world-building. Not only does she serve an engaging story with very relatable characters, but she also creates a vibrant backdrop to each read. Hard Drive is no different. Fintan and Cyn immediately capture our attention with their chemistry, and the action and suspense keep us turning the pages. Fintan is silent, broody, and protective. He is especially considerate of Cyn's history and boundaries. And Cyn! Bell is two-for-two with strong and formidable heroines as Cyn brings fierceness and determination.
I also fell in love with the side characters, especially Tweak, Cyn's quirky AI, and Bear.
This can be read as a standalone. Bell does a great job of providing context to Book 1 references. But readers would be remiss to get the full experience if they don't start from the beginning.
** I am voluntarily reviewing an advance copy of this book. Thank you to January Bell for providing an ARC. **
ABOUT THE BOOK
Love was never part of the plan.
I learned the hard way that men aren't to be trusted.
My ex sold me out for hacking the crime boss on our space station, and he made me a prisoner under 'round the clock surveillance. My only friends are an old cymech wolf unit and the AI I secretly built to help me escape.
When my SOS pings to orbiting ships are discovered, a new guard, Fintan, is assigned to live with me 24/7. And there's one more problem: Fintan's a massive, warrior-class cymech. Except, he doesn't seem to be completely under the crime boss' control.
When Fintan springs me from my prison, we're forced to work together to out-maneuver the station crime boss and get space side as fast as possible. Fintan's like no one I've ever met, and I'm falling fast.
My brain knows I can't trust when it comes to men.
My heart never seemed to learn that lesson.
Hard Drive is a steamy sci fi adventure romance for adults. This book is a standalone with a HEA in the world of Neon Renegades, so you can read it by itself or after book one.
