About this listen

"I promise. Not all of me's made of metal."

A cyborg with a mysterious and dangerous past. A naive girl fleeing the dying farmlands to forge her own future.

Chance has fought his entire life, first for survival in the streets of Cyn City and later for money and prestige in the underground Cyborg Fight League. His fists and cybernetic arm have solved almost every problem he's ever faced, except for love. After losing the love of his life, he never thought he'd find someone again.

Verity left behind everything she knows to start a new future in Cyn City. But her Ecovangalit upbringing left her unprepared for the hard realities of life among the criminals and cyborgs. When a dangerous cyborg with a bad reputation proves to be the only person she can trust, can she lower her walls enough to let him in?

As Verity finds herself in debt to the kind of man who will sell her body as fast as he will sell her soul, Chance is the only one who can clear her ledger, but only if he'll fight in the Cyborg Underground Circuit again.

Is Chance strong enough to win the only fight that ever mattered?

Contains mature themes.

Interesting take on cyborg love it

There’s only one part and I’m not gonna spoil it, but I was kind of emotional about because he was a good man but everything else I love this book and I’m gonna read it as soon as this one is over… Yeah, I’m writing the review with two chapters left… This came in the catalog of books

Enjoyable

Wont go into much detail. My only wish was that they had 2 narrators but with only 5 hours I'm glad they still went with human narration and not the computer one. Chandra Skyye is wonderful so she did both sides well.

bleh

The story really didn't do anything wow one way or the other. Terribly predictable story line. At about one hour to go i'm not sure I want to finish.

The story is more robotic than the cyborg

Even for free, this was a slow, emotionless mess. My issues include:
🙄Narrator is slow and whispery and never pronounces her Ts, so button = BUH’un and eaten = EE’en
🙄More and more F bombs
🙄The naughty parts are “F baby, you feel so good” cringe (actual quote from the first of three scenes)
🙄Verity is a naive country girl who punches her V card a month after getting to the big city
🙄Also, Verity starts cussing, with gems like “who crawled up that Bch’s C?” Riiight.
🙄Repetition of things like her noticing his dimples or him feeling joy for the first time in forever
🙄Yet an absence of details like what color are the MC’s eyes, skin or hair?
🙄Also, an absence of heat, humor or action, except for the fight at the end,
which graphically describes a face getting torn off
🙄Also, the summary gives you the plot for 5 of the 6 hrs of this story
🙄🙄🙄And the whole set up for Chase needing to enter the ring? Ridiculously illogical.

Mild spoiler (because let’s face it, you can see this coming from the summary):

Chase knows Verity intends to go to the loan shark for help and merely gives cryptic, unexplained orders for her not to. The loan shark changes the rules, won’t accept complete payback with 12% interest, because Chase hands over the money instead of Verity?! And Chase, the supposedly streetwise killer accepts this?! And then Chase agree to a fight to the death as the new terms for wiping out her debt because …? Why would anyone keep making deals with a loan shark who can’t be trusted?

The only thing I liked was the unique setting of a sodden city, barely protected from the sea by walls that the downtrodden toil to maintain. Unfortunately, there’s never an explanation of how this came to be and it ends up being little different than any other rundown tenement for Chase to rescue Verity from.

I hope this series continues past the first books

I like the concept and this could have been fleshed out into a better book, but lacked the character and world building required. The story is relatively linear, so there isn’t a lot going on around the main story to bring in detail and intricacy that would increase the suspense. It also contains many simplistic and overused elements.

I’d still like to see this author expand this world as she conceived it, as I love futuristic dystopian media, and there are good features to flesh out…like why is the city sunken and wet, while surrounded by a desert? More detail about where the men work and what the cycle is for the workers, which results in the male lead leaving that job and getting in debt. Those are features that would shape that character…but we don’t really get some bits of why until the end and it’s anticlimactic.
