Contributor #2
Infiltrator
Surviving her apprenticeship was just the first step. Now that Dara has joined the Free Thinkers, her life is about to become much more dangerous.
Frustrated by her seemingly pointless efforts to prove her worth to the Free Thinkers, she wonders if she made the right choice. Yet she can’t go back to her old life, can’t forgive Magnum for what it did to her mother. Then she discovers a crucial piece of intelligence: Andersen has been hard at work on a clandestine project that’s caught the attention of the Creators.
At last Dara is made a Free Thinker operative, trained and taught the truth about the Great Famine and its aftermath, but she must conceal her knowledge at all cost. Andersen must believe she’s no more than the sacrificial lamb he thinks she is.
But as the Creators’ interest in the project deepens, Dara is placed under surveillance and cut off from her Free Thinker lifeline. When she makes one last, desperate attempt at exposing his secret project, the repercussions are enormous.

About the author
Nicole Ciacchella
38 books160 followersNicole has never met a genre she doesn't like. She dabbles in everything from science fiction to contemporary rom-coms to fantasy fiction.
Nicole has previously published under the pen names Elizabeth Darcy and Anne Wentworth, but is no longer using those names.
Nicole has had a lifelong passion for the written word. As a child, one of her most treasured Christmas gifts was an electric typewriter, which enabled her to crank out her stories even more quickly than she could with a pen. Naturally, the personal computer is one of her favorite inventions. When she isn't writing, Nicole can usually be found curled up in a chair, whiling away the hours with a good book.
One of Nicole's other great passions is travel, and she has visited Europe, as well as traveling to many of the fifty states. Her favorite trips include visits to Paris, Maui, and various parts of Belgium. She feels fortunate that she is married to a native Belgian, as it gives her plenty of reasons to visit Europe as often as possible. Also, it gives her an excuse to eat Belgian waffles regularly.
Born and raised in Michigan, Nicole lives there still with her husband and two beautiful children. She thinks Michigan is the greatest state in the country, and Michigan State University is the greatest university in the world.

In this sequel to Contributor, Dara must cement her position as assistant to Andersen, while simultaneously trying to uncover any information to help the Free Thinkers.
I really enjoyed this and felt it was a solid book with great pacing, world building, and character development. Dara is really pushed to her limits in dealing with Andersen's demands and at the same time trying to help the Free Thinkers. The scale of what is at stake becomes very clear as the novel progresses and Dara must make some really difficult decisions. We learn more about what the Creators are like and what their plans are, as well as the danger to those who cross them. I found the story to be engrossing and a great page turner.
I didn't really notice anything negative that detracted from my enjoyment, so I'm going to rate this one a 5. I'm really looking forward to reading more of this series in the future.

Infiltrator is a worthy sequel to Contributor and it doesn’t have the middle-book-lengthiness many second books of trilogies suffer from. The reader now learns more of the world outside the domes and the real history of Dara’s society. Like in the first book, the characters are interesting and go through a plausible development. It is thrilling to follow Dara through her unpredictable life and I am glad that the author sticks to her concept that she doesn’t need blood, gore and kitsch to keep the reader emotionally involved.
I can’t wait to read the final instalment and hope that the author doesn’t take too long to finish the trilogy!

GREAT!
The plot thickens and can't wait to see what happens next and what happens in the end of the story!

Infiltrator - Contributor bk2
Fast-paced, can't stop reading, edge of my seat adventure. The author makes you feel the oppression and fear, the constant tension of the characters being palpable while you read.
You can't wait to see what's going to happen next, while simultaneously not wanting the story to end.
