“I knew I was not alone. They would never leave until every last one of us was gone.”
Sawyer Russo has sworn to protect humanity, and as a Watcher she’s done just that. But the Bots and Carbons that took her city are evolving, and they start picking the Watchers off one by one. One last rescue mission will change everything. When someone betrays them, the line between friend and foe is no longer easily drawn.
Sawyer made a vow, and she will fulfill it, even if it means ending the person who deceived them, no matter who it might be.
It all comes down to one choice…
Who can she save?
And who does she have to let go?

My first priority as a voice-over artist is to convey your thoughts and ideas in an entertaining and insightful manner; not distracting from your message, but enhancing your words. It is my personal goal to help your audience engage with the text in an immersive and memorable way.
As a techie with a passion for performance and a love of the written word, the voice-over industry called to me. I am now fortunate enough to be living my dream of audiobook narration from my home studio, in Calgary, AB, Canada.
The best part of this novel was the set up. Eversley did a great job with setting up the action with the scenery and the flashbacks for our main character. We get to see that she has never known a world outside the Watchers and is therefore kind of brainwashed. Although at first I did not feel much for Sawyer. I thought she was a stereotypical character for a dystopian novel. But she does change throughout and we get more backstory on her which endeared her to me. I’m still not sure how I feel about the love interest. He seems a bit bland and one dimensional but maybe he will get more backstory in the second book? The world building is what drew me in and it’s really well developed throughout. I could easily picture this world and how it works! I give the novel a 4/5 stars.
The narration done by Stephens and Campbell was great! Both narrators seemed equally skilled and they kept similar tones and accents for the characters which made it easier to figure out who was talking when it changed perspectives. I love dual narrators when it’s balanced like this! Neither seemed to have any audio bloopers and their pacing was excellent. I was drawn in by the world building but stayed for their pleasant voices. I give them a 5/5 stars.
I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by AJ Eversley. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
