De: Julia Payton

She’s been taken against her will....

The colonel, Maxim, is the ruler of the ruins in what used to be New York. After a post-apocalyptic event, nothing is, and will never be, the same. He rules with an iron fist and has the final say in all things. He takes what he wants when he wants. Now is the time for him to take Iolanthe. He’s watched her from afar for years; now she will belong to him.

Iolanthe has grown up homeless on the streets with her mother as her only companion. It’s been a dangerous life, to say the least. The fact that she is a Pure only complicates matters, and has been her most guarded secret. Her mother’s warnings are always in her mind. But, now her mother is dead, and she’s been taken by the colonel. What will happen now?

This is book one in the Colonel’s Conquest series and includes a sneak peek at book two.

Get the audiobook! Good Narrator

I don't understand the mixed reviews the book isn't bad. It was a good story, I think people are just afraid to give an honest review. The narrator did a good job acting out the book and doing the male voices. The characters were believable and I would listen to her narrate again. I liked it and gave her 5 stars.

There are some spots in the book that seem overly violent, but I think the Author was trying to build the world. It's not a nice place or time to live and we see that as we read. There are definitely some triggers in this book, but it reminds me of "A Handmaids Tale" compared to that show, this book is tame.

Finally, I think the Author wants us to hate Maxim in the beginning and then (WOW big reveal-we learn why he wants her and then suddenly he's not so bad). The book does end on a cliff-hanger, which isn't a big deal because the next book is already out. I'm just upset since the next audiobook isn't out yet, hopefully I don't have to wait too long.
