My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Riva and 5 guys make up the Shadowblood - a group of generically modified humans who were developed and grew up in a facility operated by a mystery organisation. Over time they develop unique abilities and so they decide to try and escape with disastrous results - 1 died, 3 are recaptured and Riva is sold into the fighting rings (but the guys are told she set them up). Riva fights her way back to rescue them to only be faced with hostility and distrust. She now has a new skill which has terrified her as she cannot control it. If the guys break her she worries that she will break everyone.
The intrigue of their creation and the escape attempt was interesting, but I did find the animosity faced by Riva a little much and quite tedious - I couldn't understand why she took it and didn't just leave them to have her own life. It was nice to see towards the end that finally she was believed but I sure hope she makes them work really hard for forgiveness given the way she was treated. Easy to read and as long as you don't get sick of the distrust it was enjoyable. I'm hoping that it is more enjoyable in the next book.
