As an avid science fiction reader, I was looking forward to this book. The book is worth reading, but I think the storyline has been done better. Still a good book and seems suited for today's target market. The concepts are there and I think young adults will enjoy the book. I found it to be a quick read.

I really wanted to get into more science fiction and I saw this on netgally, read the blurb and knew it was for me, a book set in space (tick), a bit of a mystery (tick) a romance (tick) it ticked all the boxes for me, however it wasn't as great I was expected.

In this story Earth is uninhabitable due to years of global warming, the climate is too cold for humans to survive and is only getting colder so the government has built Domes in all the major cities where the rich can go and live and protected them from the outside world, the poorer citizens of society have to live under the domes in order to survive.

Jinn was born on earth and grew up in the Domes, child of a power hungry government official, Jinn took the first chance she had when she turned 18 to escape, enrolling to be a pilot and modifying herself to fit the roll, Jinn then gets a job on a cargo ship and all is going well until her ship is boarded by pirates and all of the crew killed except for Jinn, Pirate Caspin Dax lets her live and get away. 20 year later Jinn is working for the security service, capturing fugitives and taking them to the prison ship with her partner Bryant, they get a warrant to apprehend Caspin Dax, the pirate who let her get away all those years ago, Jinn then finds herself stranded on the prison ship with Dax for reasons she does not know, and a web of lies start to be revealed.

This book really started strong with some very action packed and thrilling moments, however about 40% of the way through we have learned why what is happening is happening and most of the mystery has been solved, and what we are left with is a countdown to stop the bad guys. Some of this story was very similar to X-men and did not feel original at all with some of our characters being modified with alien DNA that gave them special abilities. we Have Dax who like Wolverine is huge of stature, very fast and can heel instantaneously, Jinn has a metal running through her body which helps her connect with the flying system of the ships however she has overdone it and now has blades that come out of her hands (this metal is failing and poisoning her body and Jinn is finding it harder and harder to heel) also like Wolverine , Eve is bright green and her skin is poisonous to touch and Alister can read minds via brain waves!!

There was some steamy sex scenes in this book and the romance between Jinn and Dax was wonderful however the story did fall a bit flat.

It ended on a cliff hanger and nothing had really got resolved I know it's a series but it was a tad annoying.

Overall this was a fine book, nothing special and nothing original....will I carry on with the series....maybe! would I recommend it , probably not.
