The Diabolic (The Diabolic #1)
She must become her.
Now one of the galaxy's most dangerous weapons is masquerading in a world of corruption and Nemesis has to hide her true abilities or risk everything. As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns that there is something stronger than her deadly force: the one thing she's been told she doesn't have - humanity. And, amidst all the danger, action and intrigue, her humanity might be the only thing that can save her, Sidonia and the entire Empire...
I read this for the 2017 MacHalo Group Reading Challenge.Review:July 5, 2017: One of my favorite books is $1.99 today! If you like space operas with some stabby stabby, pick it up!Please bear with me for a shameless bump. (But this book deserves it!) The most amazing thing happened to me... Someone reached out from Quarterly.co about their YA Literary Box. I was offered a sample box that had this book in it! Why in the WORLD would I ever say "no thanks?" Look at what was in it! I'm floored. What

*ARC Review* "A Diabolic is ruthless. A Diabolic is powerful. A Diabolic has a single task: Kill in order to protect the person you've been created for." The perfect blend of dystopian and sci-fi. A story of friendship, humanity, family, politics and love. Despite the initial pitch, this book is not Red Queen, though I do see where potential similarities may be drawn from. (view spoiler)[ as it does have a misfit protagonist uniting with royalty/prince in hopes of political revolution (hide
A soft 4 stars, maybe 3.5. Final review, first posted on Fantasy Literature: The Diabolic (2016) is set in some distant future, when humans have settled the galaxy using spaceships that travel through hyperspace. Humanity has also been experimenting with genetic engineering, and for a period of time it becomes fashionable to purchase so-called Diabolics as bodyguards. Diabolics are cloned humans, engineered to have superior strength and resistance to sickness and poisons, and trained from early
This was an awesome read! I've had it on my bookshelf since around the time it came out but never got around to reading it for some reason or another. I am so glad I finally did! The world building does not override the plot, which I love since extended world building tends to annoy me. The characters are mostly vicious but that just adds to the story. Overall, I enjoyed it so much that before even coming to review it on Goodreads, I went to Amazon and preordered the sequel that comes out this
This book totally surprised me. It was the Donald Trump of books because it really grabbed my attention and wouldn't let it go.*whispers* never let me go...If you were a fan of Red Rising, you will really like this one. It has the same feel with a fake identity, court & political intrigues, twisty turns, lots of bloody death, and a bunch of insanity. There were so many times when you weren't sure who was trying to kill who. I loved that!Our heroine is Nemesis, who is a genetically engineered
