Description

When humans are perfect, the future of humanity relies on one imperfect woman.

Cerys Skye is an outcast, a fighter, and the last person anyone expects to be recruited into the United Planet's Space Force Academy. There, she enters a world of genetically modified humans and discovers the system harbours a cyber-evil that threatens humanity. She is sent on a treacherous mission where her imperfections might be crucial for success, but will her newfound allies and her unshakeable courage be enough? When loyalties are tested, Cerys discovers even the most unlikely people can be the bravest of heroes, and that love can be as dangerous as war.

Cerys: Valkyrie Earth is a thrilling and just all around awesome read.

It takes place in a futuristic version of Earth where humans are genetically modified to be perfect. Those who aren’t modified, are considered to be sub-human and feral and are forced to live in squalor in sequestered cities.

The main character, Cerys, is one of these unaltered humans. She’s this world’s version of a gladiator and fights to earn enough money for herself and her younger sister to survive.

The story really gets started when Cerys makes it into the Space Force Academy, something that rarely happens for unaltered humans. Wanting a better future for both herself and her sister, Cerys leaves everything she knows behind and starts her Space Force training.

This book is action-packed, and just so so smart. The world building was phenomenal – entertaining and well thought out. There’s so much to talk about that I haven’t even gotten into the slow burn romance story line that’s happening in the background, but you’ll love that too!

This is a must read for you if you like the action in Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series, or the complexity of the Karen Marie Moning Fever series.

Thank you to Merrin Slade and Net Galley for giving me the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Just what I needed! A sweet H with unusual features, interesting plot line and steamy scenes. Chemistry between the H and h are palpable and very satisfying to see them have their HEA. Recommend this highly!

They were discriminatory and racist, but she didn’t let any of those issues stop her from becoming a Space Force cadet. Cerys refused to let bitterness take control of her, not even when everyone seemed to be against her. She was a Valkyrie, intelligent, and kind. She wasted no time on others who didn’t like or appreciate her. The constant ridiculing and hatred came to an end after the fatal battle with a fellow team member. Releasing all her pent-up frustrations and hurt through her anger was not the Valkyrie way.
Her team Bravo, the best in the academy, was sent on a death-defying mission, with betrayal tugging fast at their heels. It was an exhilarating, action-filled, intriguing, captivating, exciting, and enjoyable read.
