They may be refugees but Andie Sorenson never chose to flee when government forces abduct her to the “safety” of a military-operated compound. Caught in an ugly civil war no one understands, she’s now a number, a uniform, her future reduced to three stale meals a day with the strangers who share her fate. She’s nothing, no one—until a random act of compassion and an electric smile turn her prison into a refuge.
It’s his eyes, his heart, his beautiful soul drowning in an ocean of secrets. Lance Corporal Kaleb Novelli is an enigma, but with each plunge through another layer, Andie finds herself captured in a way she never imagined. She knows they have no future. They can’t even have a present, but that doesn’t stop her heart from committing to a man she can never have. The only one she trusts in this battle of lies and manipulation.
But they’ve found their paradise in hell, and she can’t shake the feeling that Kaleb Novelli is not just a player. He’s the game.

Alyson Santos is one of the most underrated
authors I have ever read. Her stories are so full it heart and soul that you
can feel the pain and emotions that Ms. Santos puts into her stories. So much
of this book, at least 50%, helped build Kaleb’s and Andie’s characters so that
I felt so close to them. I was drawn in by the originality that Ms. Santos
produced by alternating the point of views. However, she decided to give the
reader Andie’s point of view first followed by Kaleb’s point of view. I really enjoyed
the flashbacks and memories. Both seemed to help connect the characters and the
events.
I’m not going to go into the storyline of
this book. I really feel like it’s too easy to slip up on some spoilers and I
don’t want to tell you anything you didn’t read in the blurb or and excerpt.
Besides the fact that this is spoiler possibilities everywhere I just don’t
think I could form words that would give this any justice. I can’t even figure
out how to classify Traitor into a genre. I’m not sure where it would fall
since it has several possibilities like dystopian, some type of war novel,
romance, or drama, perhaps its suspense... it just hurts!! It dark and
gripping, seriously gut-wrenching; a book that will stick with you long after
you finish.
I
received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased
Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my
opinions are just that... my opinions.
EXCERPT:
His teasing smile plunges through me, settling low, hot and pulsating. It’s a dangerous offer, because soon, I’m on his lap, grasping his hair, claiming his mouth before he can change his mind. Our kiss intensifies, and my brain surrenders to instinct. It wants more, weeks of imagination straining for release. I want to own the smile that melts me, the eyes that haunt me, the compassion that transforms me.
He braces his hands on my back, and I gasp at the flames ripping through my veins. My groan leaks out when he hardens beneath me, and my body instinctively tries to pull him in. God, he feels so good, tastes so good. He’s infinite. There is no enough of this man. There are too many layers, and each one leaves me aching for the next.
I grip the collar of his shirt as he tugs at my hem. Fabric can be damn frustrating, and I’m desperate to fight through it. I want it all: mind, body, and soul, but he pulls back. Eyes clenched, captivating in that moment—overwhelming—I can’t bear the pain of the separation about to come. I’m already suffering the chill of the space between us. I breathe in my own recovery while he hauls himself together, but I don’t object. I care about him too much to make his battle unbearable with a direct assault on his will. I know his struggle against feelings he’s not supposed to have. A relationship he’s not allowed to have. I already broke my promise and won’t cause more agony for the man I’m terrified I’m coming to love.
It takes all my strength to distance myself when he can’t break us apart this time. His expression mirrors my heart, anguish and relief, as I round the corner of his desk to lean on a safer side. Our eyes lock through the gap, both of us aware of what happened, and all the reasons why it shouldn’t have.
Rebel is coming soon...

I'll go through hell to get her back.
And I just may have to.
Heaven knows Hell is ruled by Roberto Novelli, leader of the free forces.
Rynne may belong to him.
But she'll always be mine.
Of course I’d return for her.
Of course I wouldn’t leave her alone with Roberto and his temperamental vengeance.
She better get used to having me around, because I'm prepared to fight death itself to protect her.
After two years as his second-in-command, I can say with certainty that he isn’t human. No, the man I revered, the man I considered a mentor, is a demon. A soulless apparition that values nothing above his Cause. It earned his son a death sentence and me a hard truth about the man I served.
But I’m a rebel—a warrior—and after defying his orders, I’m back to face the monster no one’s been able to tame. My first objective though? Convince him not to kill me too.
About the Author:
I’m a writer, musician, and cat lover. I also have an alternative music obsession. Seriously, it’s a real problem.
I write what needs to come out, whether it’s pain, tears, or laughter. I write people and relationships, about the beauty and horror of what we do to ourselves and each other. I write Love. Vengeance. Compassion. Cruelty. Trust. Betrayal. Forgiveness. Darkness, and the incredible way humans destroy and heal each other.
I like to eradicate barriers, refusing to be confined by the laws of physics or limitations of reality. I will befriend a vast population of possibilities and introduce them in ways that might surprise you.
