Secrets of Peace: A Dystopian Thriller Novel

Secrets of Peace, Book 1

By: T. A. Hernandez

Narrated by: Daisy Fair

Open your eyes. See the truth. Make a choice.

Nearly 30 years ago, the PEACE Project rose from the ruins of a global war to take power over a new America. Providing stability in exchange for absolute authority, the project controls every aspect of citizens' lives through each of its five units - Protect. Enforce. Advance. Control. Eliminate.

Raised in the Project since infancy, 18-year-old Zira has been trained as an assassin under the stern guidance of unit E-2's Chairman Ryku. After she makes a careless mistake on an assignment, the chairman partners her with Jared, the best operative in her unit. Their partnership transforms into friendship as they work together and learn to rely on each other.

But when misinformation causes a solo mission to backfire, Zira's deepest loyalties and strongest relationships are tested in a place where even a hint of doubt can be perceived as treason. The life she knows is falling apart, and nothing will ever look the same again.

Interim review

Circumstances right now prevent me from writing an extensive review. I shall update this as soon as I am able.

Ready for book 2

This is a story not unlike many others in this genre but it still holds its own. Zira is a tough as nails little tiny firecracker. Her eyes have been opened to the truth of the peace project. What will she do to help end the impression Nd lies. I can’t wait to find out.
Narration by Daisy Fair was excellent.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

no such thing as sleep

I could not stop listening to this book, I usually only listen when I drive, but could not stop, i even stayed up to finish. this book held my attention the whole time, and I can not wait for the 2nd, I am sure that one will be the same, i have found a new author and can not wait to read more.

OK YA

This is not a very realistic "action" adventure set in a dystopian future society run by the authoritarian PEACE Project. Our 18-year-old female protagonist is naive and immature, and not a very good fighter. Yet, she is assigned missions to kill "dissidents" of the Project. After teaming up with an older male partner, a romance ensues. When she's sent on a solo mission and things go very terribly wrong, she's exposed to "truths" from which she just cannot come back. Now on the run from the Project, we're set up for Book 2. I rec'd Books 1 & 2 free from Audiobooks Unleashed, I'm just not excited to start book 2.

Great Dystopian Thriller

I really enjoyed listening to this book. If you liked Divergent and The Hunger Games you will like this book. So well written and Zira, the main character, is easy to like and root for.

I was given a copy of this audiobook in return for my unbiased opinion
