The human search for a solution to disease and physical decay has driven many to go to extreme measures. Dr. Carl Stanley's efforts are no exception, his creation, Marie becomes the picture of physical perfection; possessing the ability to heal at a rapid rate. She has been groomed from infancy to apply her gifts in the service of war. However even a woman given all the physical gifts in the world is not immune to pain and suffering. One can only be pushed so far before pushing back. Can they handle what they have created? Can she?
Sometimes the cure is far more dangerous than the disease....

The group of 10 test subjects seem to have been trained as soldiers to work together - or that was the idea - they never seemed to have gelled as as a team, and definitely did not stick up for one another very much. As well, Marie is being portrayed as a typical female who rather than being tough and hard shell, warrior, breaks down when one of the others die ....
Another problem I had with Marie was when she was attacked after she left the program. She had a child that by description she was devoted to, wouldn't let out of her sight, very protective. She gets told that the men killed her son, so when she escapes she doesn't even go and check on her son to see if the men were telling the truth, even after all her dealings with the group who had kept her a prisoner all her life and trained her?
The other character I had a problem with was Tyler - he was really young and naive to be a Major in the Army, and you would have thought Marie would have been more suspicious of him - although that was explained later.
The narrator's voice was a little stilted for my liking. I don't know whether this is her natural voice or the voice she thought Marie should have; also the author didn't use a lot of contractions in her wording that I found a little irritating.
However, I did find the plot of the story interesting if the author could have developed it a little more (I don't know how many other books the author has), and interesting enough that I am looking forward to listening to the second book of the series to find out what happens next, and how the author has improved her writing.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
I'd give it a happy ending.What was one of the most memorable moments of Marie?
When she realizes her full abilities. I love books about people's with abilities. This could have been a graphic novelWhat three words best describe Lori Faiella’s performance?
I thought the narration was decent. Good pacing, and she has a nice voice. I wish the narrator had more range with her voice, but she was not bad.Any additional comments?
Warning, this book has tons of profanity, so if that bothers you. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Lot's of Action (and swearing)

Plot wise, initially, I wasn't sure whether I'd enjoy reading this as the subject was kids being part of an experiment, but thankfully they were never mistreated and they were looked after, they were just injected everyday with a serum. Also we jump from them being babies to being adults quick enough that it doesn't really register. This book is so incredibly fast paced and intense, that I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I listened to it in a day and didn't want it to end. The idea of a super soldier, one capable of anything, and the consequences of what happens when they go "rogue" made for an amazing read!
Marie was kick ass! She started out as a conscientious person but when her life is destroyed, she shows exactly what she can do, and boy that girl was bad! My heart broke for her and what she became! You know why she did the things she did, but it still made you feel for her.
Anyway, this was an action packed, intense and addicting read. I didn't just read it, I devoured it and look forward to more!! Well written, developed and entertaining, this is a must read.
Lori Faiella did a really good job with the narrator. She brought Marie to life and really made the story pop.
*I received a free copy of this. This in no way affected or influenced my thought.*
Action packed!!

I listened to the Audible audio version of this book narrated by Lori Faiella. She did a pretty good job with pacing, connecting with the audience, and giving different voices to the characters. The only criticism that I have is that her male voices sounded a bit forced. You can tell that she is lowering her voice to fit the male characters, but it seems just out of her comfort range.
Overall, a really exciting book that will keep you hooked - perfect for fans of sci-fi and suspense.
Really exciting - Can't wait for the next book.

Any additional comments?
This book is pretty intense thrill ride. Readers/listeners are introduced to an abandoned baby girl who is experimented on and trained to be a super-soldier prototype. The training and the lifestyle that come with it. Marie's attempt to get away to a normal life is thwarted, and all hell breaks loose as the bloodbath begins.Marie

The story starts with someone finding a crying baby behind a dumpster and he hands her over to whoever these people are that are doing the experiments.Marie is that baby and the rest of the kids are boys. It kind of just jumps from childhood to adolescence to adulthood without much character development.
The writing was choppy. It sounded unnatural. I don't think the author used a single contraction, so the dialogue just didn't flow.
I thought Lori Faiella did a good job with what she had to work with. It's difficult to make a story compelling when it misses the mark so entirely.. Her voice is pleasant and easy to listen to. If it hadn't been, I probably would not have finished the book. I just didn't care enough about the characters.
This book was gifted to me for an honest review.
Not Alot of Cohesion

The narrator was fine, but I had some problems distinguishing between different male characters who sounded similar. I think she could have done a little more to differentiate between them.
