Publisher's summary

Enter a frighteningly familiar dystopian world with the first book of a new series from the author of Falling with Folded Wings and Victor of Tucson.

In the year 2107, the world has both made astounding leaps forward and reduced humanity to its most basic existence. While the megacorps and those who rule them enjoy lives of extraordinary comfort and ease, most people barely scrape by, doing whatever they can to keep going.

Juliet Bianchi is one of the latter. She works cutting metal in a scrapyard and doesn't have much to show for it except for a small group of equally bereft, fiercely loyal friends. Still, she maintains a bright disposition, possessing more hope and optimism than anyone would expect her to—and she's going to need it . . .

When Juliet stumbles upon what looks like a botched kidnapping, the victim dispatches his abductors and lives just long enough to give her a stolen AI chip. This gift soon transforms Juliet from a worker bee into a killer queen. Armed with far more power and skill than she can comprehend—let alone control—she finds herself drawn into a shadowy world where survival itself counts as victory.

Juliet has never been one to push people around. But when it comes to fighting the corrupt corporate overlords, she's more than happy to push back.

The first volume of the hit cyberpunk LitRPG series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

not sure what makes this a litrpg

but it's a damn good cyberpunk novel regardless :)
love the world building and character development. very much anticipating the next book!

Its hot out in Arizona; This life will start wearing on ya

Piling money on bodies, cybernetics with cherry toppers. Think fast; but move faster. if you can take the heat that is, must be a local thing

great story

I enjoyed it completely the characters were great and the narration was done greatly

Fast-Paced Cyberpunk Story

New to the cyberpunk genre here. Enjoyed the pace at which the world was introduced. The story was gripping—I finished this in 2 days! I enjoyed the characterization of the cast and their motives and actions were believable.

Great voicing! MC and her personal AI had distinct voices and personalities.

This is not really a LitRPG—there are barely any stats in the story. That’s fine for me—I’m not a fan of that genre anyway.

I just purchased the next book and will look up both the author’s and the VA’s previous works. Enjoy!

I really want part 2 sooner rather than later

Few books get my attention as well ad this one did. I was completely wrapped up in the story from start to finish.

Wonderful experience

The tale was well crafted and the performance was great. Both author and performer did a wonderful job bringing this tale to life. The setting captured the cyberpunk genre very well. I found the characters engaging and a great set of eyes in which to see the world crafting. Thank you for the experience, I eagerly await the next installment.

Great cyberpunk follow up!

As much as i enjoyed the first book in this series, the follow up was even better! I can't wait to see what happens next, this author is fantastic.

A Beautiful Cyberpunk Nightmare

This book is fantastic. Not only is the main character a fully realized and functional person (as opposed to a self-insert shell of a character), but the world building is utterly enthralling. Tons of attention is paid to her process of cybermodding, with detailed discussion and considerations given to each upgrade, and the world itself is a pretty believable post-capitalist mishmash of besieged democracies, ruthless corps, failing human rights, and the cybernetic wild west that's formed in the massive cracks in between.

The dynamic between Juliet and Angel is quite enjoyable, and more than enough to keep us interested as we rotate through the ever changing cast of characters and locations. From low-level heists to deep corporate infiltration to space combat, this series has it all. The technology is both futuristic and fleshed out, and the culture of the world is always intriguing.

This is a very interesting and grounded take of a world that would give rise to the tropes of the cyberpunk genre, and perfect for anyone who's even remotely interesting in advancing technology, AI, cybernetics, or dystopia.

I thoroughly recommend it. You won't regret it.

I love it

Suzy Jackson did an amazing job and I can't wait for the next book.

Really liked it

Warning. I could listen to Suzy Jackson read the newspaper and feel a five star review coming. This is a great start to a promising series. There are some cringy cyberpunk sayings though “you feel me?” Plum please reconsider those as they didn’t really add to the story IMO. Sprinkle in a little more action and you have a real hit on your hands.
