She died a hero. She has been remade to do it for a living.
Venda was having a nice lunch with a friend when her life took a wrong turn. She and her friend were held hostage and when the payoff didn’t arrive in time, she put herself between her friend and harm. Dying wasn’t pleasant but waking up in a mainframe took some getting used to.
Venda uses her connection to the data stream to learn how she died and who was responsible. Once that little task was accomplished, she set out to gain revenge on the ones who had killed her in such a vile and public manner.
Her little revenge adventures gain attention and soon there are members of the cluster hero teams standing in front of her mainframe, asking if she would like a pardon in exchange for a little light espionage. How can she resist?
She can have a body again, if she joins Team Eight.

Boring
I have this 2 stars for the story idea. Characters flat, story line boring. A book with no personality. Author needs to flesh out her characters.

MADE is a good read
Good read. A little jumpy around the middle so it made it somewhat difficult to get the pace of the book. It did have interesting twists in it. The character development was unique with actions demonstrating and reflecting their person versus internal monologue. It was a good read and setup the series well.

A very short read. It was enjoyable, but there was very little story. The story essentially has 4 steps:
1. Before
2. Rebirth
3. Revenge
4. Purpose
But it's missing a 5 and 6:
5. Adventure
6. Resolution
You basically created Ultron but with a decent human piloting it. Why cut off the story just when the main character is accepted into the Avengers!!?

This was a fun and entertaining read. Great characters, sharp, snarky and wonderfully devious. A great read. Looking forward to book 2.

Entertaining: 5.5/10
Imaginative SciFi: 9/10
Romance: 0/10
Viola is changing her genre and I am not sure how I feel about it.
The old Viola did a fun blend of romance and SciFi.
New Viola is heavy SciFi with romance added as an afterthought, if at all. One of her more recent series was entirely populated by women!
If I wanted pure SciFi, there are other authors that I prefer.

Oh, heck yes!
This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. A suspenseful science fiction tale featuring death, rebirth and retribution. I definitely plan to keep getting the books in this series as they become available from Amazon. Many thanks for the quality time reading this e-mail book entailed, Ms. Grace!

Soul?
I had a hard time finishing this book. Too many hard stops with little flow. It was when the word soul came into the book, that I knew this was stupid. And. In the beginning of the book it doesn't give you any idea of the time, place or history. It just jumps in. The technology was juvenile. All in all, it was flat.

This one is NOT a romance story, just good SF
I actually looked at some of the reviews, for those of you who have read this author before and complained that it is not what you expecting, I say look at what you got - a short SF story with an interesting premise. I recommend the book of you are willing to pay for it.

This is a very interesting beginning to a new series. The book is very short, but it is very enjoyable. I love catching the beginnings of new characters and seeing them grow. I look forward to more in this series.
