ARC Review: The Legend of Michael: Sin and Satisfaction (Zodius) [Mass Market Paperback]



I've finished "Legend of Michael" the 1st book in her Zodius series by Lisa Renee Jones.

Product Description

HE IS A LETHAL WEAPON...


One of an army of human soldiers injected with alien DNA, Michael is a legend within this new race, split between good and evil. Untamable, he has walked on the dark side and returned to the light. Feared and misunderstood, he leaves everything behind, including the one woman destined to be his mate.

HE IS HER ENEMY...AND HER DESTINY...

Cassandra holds the key to Michael's power, and his pain. With loyalties divided and against insurmountable odds, Cassandra's heart propels her to Michael's side-but can her love do anything but destroy him...

No ordinary woman can control a creature such as Michael, and only one thing is clear-the world will never be the same...

My Review:

Michael Taylor is a GTECH or super soldier who has managed to become a legend in a new breed of soldiers. He is one of several soldiers that have been injected with alien DNA to make them stronger, faster and better than the average soldier. One thing no one expected is the special abilities that some of them have mastered with their new found strength and speed. Michael is one that has managed to control the wind to his advantage.
Then Adam Rain a fellow GTECH stages a mutiny which splits the soldier into two groups The Zodius and The Renegades.  Michael joins The Zodius and leaves everything behind including the one thing that meant the most to him, Cassandra Powell. She is also the one woman destined to be his mate but rather than hurt her or allow what he has become to affect her he leaves.

Cassandra Powell was devastated when Michael left her before. Now he is back and she isn't sure if she can trust him. He is everything she never wanted but everything that she needs. Now Cassandra and Michael are being divided by their loyalties to duty and others only time will tell if they will be able to find a way to be together or if they will be completely torn apart again. Cassandra is the only person that can help Michael and his comrades. Cassandra and Michael are going to have to find a way to work together to overcome the madman and stop him before he destroys the world and humanity.

This book was very exciting to read and fast paced from start to finish.  The storyline was really easy to follow and the romance was very steamy and hot.

Really liked how things were explained (why they are fighting, what lifebonds are and how The Renegades build something new).

3.5/5

Thanks Danielle from Sourcebooks for sending me this ARC to review, greatly appreciated!

Im on the fence as to if I want to buy this book. It seems really interesting to me, something I'd enjoy. I have read too many mixed reviews & I think some have soured my opinion. Thanks for the great review!
