This might be completely my fault for going into this story with too high hopes. I was expecting a fun, twisty, engaging adventure with some romance and instead this was a slow paced, very short interaction between the 2 main characters (in my opinion) to have real feelings, predictable twists and reveals and well as a super anti-climatic ending. I think I just wanted more, or maybe just different, from what I got- but on the plus side this is a standalone so no loose ends. I am sure others will enjoy this read, especially maybe a younger target audience. I would try other books from this author in the future.

This is a great ya novel with characters that will have you wanting to know anything and everything about them and it's packed with action! Great story!

This was an interesting sci-fi read with romance and a quickly moving plot. I enjoyed it but wished for more character development.

I don't read a lot of Science Fiction, in any genre, but when I read about this release, it HOOKED me. I'm so glad I went with that feeling because it was REALLY GOOD! Aiden was a conundrum...human, or human like? That was the debate behind the scenes, but up close and personal with Elena, he had more heart than your average guy...not that he was average in ANY department. Looks, strength, skill...he was a walking want ad for everything you might desire, but he struggled with an overheard conversation about his fate, worried about who he could really trust, and ended up ultimately making the most human choice possible. To start to fall for the one person he shouldn't probably in the ENTIRE WORLD because yeah, the long arm of the law is nothing compared to a pissed off creator, or someone's father. Lots to love about this short, yet compelling story, so even if you're not big in the subgenre, give it a read!

A quick, fast-paced story with amazing worldbuilding and a fiery romance! It had so many twists and turns that I was just gasping throughout the story! It was just so reeling!!!

3*s

Aiden has been sheltered in a facility yearning for the outside world. When he overhears conversation about his termination he decides to run.

Elena is the first person Aiden meets, she's kind, witty and longs to be a mechanic, much to her fathers annoyance.

Told in alternating POVs, this had an exciting fast paced plot, the action & anticipation I felt was lacking but it was entertaining none the less and kept me wanting to learn more.

The connection between Aiden and Elena was instantaneous, a little too fast in the time that they'd known each other but I can appreciate the need for a HEA.

Overall, this was an fun, easy read.

Thank you to the author publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I loved this book. If you love romance and sci-fi you're gonna live this book. Fast pace plot. Great world building and plot, not a lot of dystopia more focused on characters

So when should this movie be coming out? Because it seriously needs one. This was an amazing story that was high stakes and shocking. I loved the characters and just everything that happened and the ending. And man do I need this as a series now.

This was super fun. Take the million-dollar-man, make him a teenager and throw in a love interest that doesn't know he's a cyborg til it's too late. Dude. This was fun. I fully enjoyed it. Some parts were a tad predictable but not enough to lower the rating for me. 💋

First, thank you so much to Entangled Teen for the opportunity to read Project A.I.D.E.N early.

This was such a quick, fun, fast-paced SciFi read with a splash of romance that hit me right in the heart. From the moment Aiden appeared on the page, I could not help but love and want to protect him at all costs. Once I started, I did not want to put this book down. So I may or may not have read it in one sitting.

Project A.I.D.E.N was pure entertainment and joy. Exactly what I needed right now. I wish there was an epilogue so we could have even MORE with these characters. Or maybe a movie....

If you are looking for a quick, fun, YA SciFi, check this one out.

It’s such a warm read for me after all the fantasy stories and spicy ones. I enjoyed the plot here and loved the way the story progressed, there was never a dull moment. Even in the sadness, a little excitement was there to know what will happen next and how the inevitable will be delayed. It’s a very well-written book and has a perfect pace for reading. Elena and Aiden are interesting characters with a heart of Gold. As the story gets finished, I kept thinking what will happen next?? There’s hope but still. Definitely a worthy read.

The plot says everything You need to know. The end game though is very surprising.

4 stars for keeping me on my toes 😁

~ I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own ~

short and fast pace sci-fi book! An AI who doesn't know he is flees from the people who created him as they want to destroy him for being too human. This book does well at drawing you in quick and making you fall in love with Aiden. I found him intriguing from the beginning and Elena was just as endearing. This is a nice quick read that can appeal to anyone. I felt the ending was a little rushed but I hope to read more of Aiden and Elena.

Going into Project Aiden, I was hoping for something a little more along the lines of Alita: Battle Angel. I keep reading reviews that comp it with the Terminator. Which I can not contest as I know absolutely nothing about it. But, I've started and stopped this book several times. I was hoping there was going to be an audiobook because sometimes that helps me get through books I otherwise wouldn't. As far as I know, there isn't currently one available. So for now I'm temporarily setting Project Aiden aside in hopes of picking it up again soon.

Thank you to Entangled Teen and Netgalley for the review opportunity.

I haven't been into YA books for a while but this book reminded me why I love YA so much. I was hooked from the very beginning, I know that sounds cliche but its true. It had the best Maximum Ride vibes and it hit all the right spots. I wanted to know everything about Project Aiden. I did see the end coming but regardless of it I loved it.

With fast pacing, an engaging plot, and endearing characters this book makes a great addition to the sci-fi young adult genre.

This story was a quick, captivating read. It was full of twists, and I was rooting for these two from the absolute beginning!

This book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Entangled Crave!

Project A.I.D.E.N. is a standalone Young Adult Sci-Fi and tells the story of Elena and Aiden.

When I saw the cover of Project A.I.D.E.N., I had to read the synopsis. The guy one the cover really caught my attention, and I was really interested in the story. After reading the synopsis, I knew that I was going to enjoy reading this YA book. I had some expectations of this book since I read one of Lindsey Frydman’s other books, To Whatever End, and I’m glad that I picked this book up.

Project A.I.D.E.N. is about Aiden and Elena. Aiden is an A.I. even though he doesn’t realise that’s he is one. Elena is a high school student who wants to be a mechanic. I really liked that Elena’s dream is to become a mechanic, because we don’t really see that that often in books. I liked seeing Aiden and Elena grow towards each other, and fall for each other. It’s like a typical YA story where the characters easily fall for each other and would do everything for each other. It was really cute!

I normally don’t read that many Sci-Fi books, and I really don’t know why. It’s an interesting and fun genre, and I enjoyed reading Project A.I.D.E.N.. The story was really interesting, the pacing was really nice and you can easily finish this book in a few days. It only took me two days because it’s a good and quick read. If you’re looking for a YA Sci-Fi, then I really recommend Project A.I.D.E.N.!

With fast pacing, an engaging plot, and endearing characters this book makes a great addition to the sci-fi young adult genre.

I enjoyed so many aspects of this book. I loved its futuristic setting without it absorbing dystopian elements like so many sci-fi novels do. I loved its dual point-of-views and the insights they gave us into the MCs. I loved its quick pacing and how accessible the writing style was. And mostly, I LOVED Aiden, our rogue AI. He is written in such an endearing way that it really pulls so much empathy for him as a reader. And the way the overarching question of whether Artificial Intelligence has a right to life is woven into the romance makes for such a compelling theme.

Usually when finishing a book I often think that it could've benefited from being shorter but I feel the opposite about this one. I wish it had been longer. I would've loved to have gone on an even longer journey with our MCs. I would've loved to have seen more details about the lab and Project A.I.D.E.N. And while the plot became a bit predictable, especially toward the middle, I enjoyed seeing how the book came together in the end.

This would make a great pick for someone interested in getting into the sci-fi genre but hesitant to dip their toes in. Its sci-fi elements aren't too extensive and are well explained while the romance adds a sweet touch to its storyline. Overall, this is a book that I feel will hit a sweet spot for many readers in the future.

Everyone that I'm hearing that's comparing this book to The Terminator--is absolutely spot-on. It just has the extra added bonus of romance. Which is a plus to me!

I was completely enthralled in this story. Aiden is a boy who lives in a facility where they now want to kill him. He finds out more about himself along the way--there are some surprises in store for this poor kid.

Elena, is involved in ways that she doesn't comprehend at first. But their first meeting involves her hitting Aiden with her car. From that point forward, she's invested in helping Aiden escape death at the hands of those who made him who he is.

This story was a quick, captivating read. It was full of twists, and I was rooting for these two from the absolute beginning!

You can't help but fall for Aiden in this fast paced, YA sci-fi novel. The company that has created him, now wants him destroyed because he exhibits some human traits that they are not happy with. What happens when Aiden escapes the facility sets off a non-stop ride right to the ending.

This is another example of how far is too far when robotics and A.I. are involved.
