Working together has never been a strong suit for exiled gods. Particularly when it comes to working with new people… human people. People who have their (now) mortal lives in their hands.To make matters worse, when Bentley uncovers a plot that goes deeper than just the quick heist they’ve been hired for, things start to unravel fast.
A plot that could mean not just the enslavement, and death, of the ALF (Artificial Life Forms) they decide to rescue, but the human population at large.
But first she has to figure out who she can trust.
>>>Will she be able to persuade everyone to work together?>>>Can she protect her team from an ensuing showdown of blasters and bullets?>>>And will she see the bigger picture before it’s too late?Find out now! Scroll Up and Grab Your Copy Today!

Wow! The plot just keeps on getting thicker in this book.
Bentley is asked to do a task full of danger, but which will give the team on the Chesed a chance of earning enough, to keep them hiding from Amroth for some time, so she joins two others, from two separate ships that had also been hired to help with the job.
But as Bentley goes in to the most secret Casino in the galaxy, she is about to find out some truths that changes everything for her, and her fellow travelers.
This was an amazing plotline, and kept me on the edge of my seat as I kept on reading. It ended in a way so unexpected, it took me a while to wrap my mind around it all - and definitely makes me want to go on to book four, the next in the series: Resistance!
I really want to know what happens next, after the sudden ending of this book, so I'll catch you on the flip side, and let you know what I think of it.

Like a fine wine....
I started reading this series for a change of pace. Book one was like jumping into the middle of an action scene in a movie. It took some time to make heads or tails of what was going on. I was sorely tempted to drop it and move on but am glad that I didn't since a lot of the questions I had have been made clear in book 3. There are characters that you'll love, hate, love to hate & vice versa. All in all, in the midst of the fighting, sulking and miscellaneous shenanigans there are serious quandaries that encourage the reader to consider their real life moral, legal & existential positions. That said, this is a not so easy read that manages nonetheless to be highly entertaining. Do give it a chance.

Growth
Bentley and Jade are maturing, discovering things they didn’t know about themselves, and growing as individuals as well as being part of a team.
We meet new people, and a new sub-plot. New names that clue us in as to their function/raison d’être. There’s a cheeky humour threaded throughout, lightening the darkness. We all see heavy issues dealt with, things to make us think and challenge our world views.
In other words, another excellent installation in Bentley’s story! No I’m going to be anxiously awaiting the next book, as Ell left us on a cliffhanger 😳

Really, English spelling of tonne made it thru spellchecker?
Reveals as the books progress, ok. An increasingly diverse, evil, yet forgiving universe, a complex and still undefeated backstory for Bentley, androids (Svend and others vs Jelly) with issues, human-fosters (Ivor), and androids showing how forgiveness could help in a situation.
Ell Leigh, keep on going, I believe your story and current style have merit, or at least are interesting.
Thanx

Heist
Well... Here's the thing. As cloudy as Bentley's path has been in the previous two books, things get *really* obscure and mysterious in this one... At first. Don't be discouraged though, much is eventually revealed. I found this story to be a very interesting third chapter in the series. Five stars. Well done Ell!

Bentley keeps going !!
Thankfully our trusty author continues to surprise and tease us in her continuing series .... The 'Gods' are revealed and their interference in the universe brings anarchy and soul plotting to the fore . Good storyline clever characters lots of space battles and even sword fights in space what more do you want ?

A realistic heroine!
Most series have a protagonist who "goes with the flow" and never questions their path.
BOOOOORING!!!!
What if the heroine decided she wanted her own life?
What if she wanted her path to divulge?
What if she decided to quit?
Read this awesome sauce third book, and find out!

Great story
Bentley is really whiny and selfish but I am glad she has at least decided to see things through. Will the crew ever truly come together? I am not sure what the purpose of this series is yet.

Great space opera
This is another great, fast-paced story. I like the suspense of the story unfolding bit by bit as we go along.the secrets are what makes it so fascinating. Excellent job!

Lots of adventure in this one
This is the best so far in the series. Huge amount of action and daring do. The rebels and androids team up to tackle a nasty mess and it's a pop. Can't wait for more.

Another great one from Ell
In the notes, I saw you were worried about some not liking that everything isn't laid out off the bat in this series. I personally love it so far. Getting to further explore the characters and the world they live in in the reason to keep reading.

Fantastic third book in a fun new series.
Ellie out does herself with this book. We got to learn some new things about Bentley, and she consciously chooses to continue her path.

Book 3 was far and away the best book in the series. I can't wait to read Book 4!
