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.
Nemesis is a Diabolic, a humanoid teenager created to
protect a galactic senator’s daughter, Sidonia. The two have grown up side by
side, but are in no way sisters. Nemesis is expected to give her life for
Sidonia, and she would do so gladly. She would also take as many lives as
necessary to keep Sidonia safe.
When the power-mad Emperor learns Sidonia’s father is
participating in a rebellion, he summons Sidonia to the Galactic court. She is
to serve as a hostage. Now, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect
Sidonia. She must become her. Nemesis travels to the court disguised as
Sidonia—a killing machine masquerading in a world of corrupt politicians and
two-faced senators’ children. It’s a nest of vipers with threats on every side,
but Nemesis must keep her true abilities a secret or risk everything.
As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer,
Nemesis learns there is something more to her than just deadly force. She finds
a humanity truer than what she encounters from most humans. Amidst all the
danger, action, and intrigue, her humanity just might be the thing that saves
her life—and the empire.
But, nothing can prepare you for Nemesis.
But, nothing can prepare you for Nemesis.
My Review
(ARC Review: Only my opinions and reactions from the book as a whole will be revealed. I will not be discussing any major plot points, or spoils.)
Let me just start off by saying that this book was so unique and out of this world exhilarating! Seriously, I can't get over it! It's where the genetic modifications of Maximum Ride, meets the harsh betrayal of Red Queen in space. Just as that sounds, it's full of unique plot twists and full of suspense. And speaking of plots, this one, I have never read anything like this before. It as so incredible! Kincaid truly out-did herself with this one, her passionate and imaginative writing style really made this one a refreshing read. I also really enjoyed the characters thought this story, each had their own obstacles to overcome, and it was amazing to see Kincaid fit them all into a already dense plot line. I'd have to say Nemesis was my favorite. She was a reliable main character, readers learn how the Galactic court works just as she is, forming the critical bond. She is also a major bad ass; round-house kicking, punching, flipping, and killing when necessary. If I ever met her, I wouldn't want to get on her bad side. And finally, with an amazing plot, refreshing writing style, and amazing characters, there can't possibly be anything more to this book. Right? While think again, there's also an epic romance packing into this already full mix. And it's one you're not going to want to miss. The Diabolic is one read you're going to want to add to your TBR pile, pronto! I don't want you to miss it, because you will be missing out on one of my favorite sci-fi reads this year.
