Synopsis (Goodreads):

 

In the midst of the cold war, the CIA’s finest and most fatal female agent, Diana Riley, vanishes. Kidnapped by the KGB and taken to the backcountry of North Carolina, she and her team of unsavory partners are forced to undergo illegal experimentation.

But, when the experiments leave them horribly deformed and unable to reenter society without someone crying monster, the previously glamorous and high-maintenance spies must escape KGB captivity and avoid recapture at the hands of Nikola, a ruthless KGB agent with an intense and well-justified grudge against her former flame.

 

Review:

Thank you very much to the author for sending me this book to review. I really enjoyed it. This book is a mixture of historical fiction and fantasy. Set during the Cold War, a group of CIA agents are kidnapped by the KGB, and when they escape, they realize that they are quite different from before. Forced to undergo illegal experiments, they find themselves to be more monster than human, which means that when they escape, they aren’t sure where to go.

The characters were a lot of fun in this one, and the author weaves a tale of past and present so that the reader can keep up with what’s going on, but can also understand the characters pasts. The story is well paced and I found myself intrigued by the characters.

Just a warning, there are some mature themes in this book, including a description of bulimia. So if that is something that may be triggering, or something that you do not want to read in your books, then this might not be the book for you. If that’s ok, then I definitely recommend you checking this one out!

Happy reading!
