Synopsis

The fifth book in the Wolfegang series follows Katerina back to the top secret military base, Enzo, where she is Lt. Donnelly’s prisoner. The lieutenant puts her through tests and experiments to find out what makes her so special, and why the genetic enhancements aren’t degrading her brain. He wants answers for his own cure. Katerina might not survive his search for answers until General Ryojin shows up and changes the game completely.

Review


I was hired to proofread this book. The only aspects of the story that I influenced were the spelling and grammar. If you feel that my connection to the book makes my review untrustworthy, so be it, but this is my honest review.

The last book in this series left me in a lot of suspense, anxious for the characters well-being. This book did not do much to alleviate my concerns. Sure, some of my fears were allayed, but I'm still fairly certain the characters are in dire peril. I'm pretty sure my heart rate was elevated the entire time I was reading this book.

In spite of my elevated heart rate, this book didn't seem to have that much action. It actually felt like it was mostly character building, which for this story makes perfect sense, even though this is the fifth book in the series, because Kat is basically being rebuilt. Don't get me wrong, there is still action, fighting is part of her training, but the action takes a backseat to Kat's personal development. The lack of action made this a bit of a slower read for me because I didn't feel quite as compelled to find out what happened next as I would have with more action. I did enjoy delving into Katerina's development though. It always gave me a slight thrill when she attained noticeable improvement with her skills or got one over on other soldiers.

There was a point in the story where I felt like Kat was being a bit overly emotional, her reactions just a little over the top, but that is likely because I'm a bit hard-hearted by nature where personal relationships are concerned, so I just couldn't really relate on a personal level.

Overall I give Give Me Chaos 4.5 out of 5 stars. - Katie

About the Author

My readers are what's important to me. Yes, I write for myself and the enjoyment of it, but I adore when a reader actually has a great time reading a story I slaved over. I don't write any particular genre, but I do stick to kick-ass female characters. I love writing about all types of differently strong women. My debut series is Young Adult Science Fiction. The first novella is free to see if you enjoy what I write.

I'm very involved with my fandoms, and love all things geeky and nerdy. I love connecting with my readers, so if you'd like to contact me just head over to my website :)
