Volition by Lee Strauss review and Giveaway! $200!!!!!!!!!

 
 
 
What doesn’t kill you
Zoe Vanderveen is on the run with her captor turned rescuer, Noah Brody. They’re in love. Or at least that’s what he tells her. Her memories have returned but her feelings are dreamlike—thin and fleeting. Her heart can’t be trusted. Just look at what happened with Taylor Blake.
Senator Vanderveen’s new team of cyborg agents are in hot pursuit, and a reward for their capture is broadcast nationwide. Record breaking cold and snow hinder their escape. Someone dies helping them.
And their fight for survival has only begun.

My review:
I have been reading a lot of different science fiction and cyborg books lately. There are so many out there. This one however stood out for me because the  bad guys are in power, and the main character is running away form her "grandfather" Her grandfather runs for office. This is not good for Zoe, or the rest of society.
I also enjoyed the memory loss part of Zoe's character. It is a fatal character flaw not to know your past. It is even worse to remember it as something different then you thought it was. Who do you believe? Yourself or the person you are fleeing with that you are supposed to trust? 
This is an epic struggle to survive, everything is against Zoe. The weather, the temperatures, and luck.
I was not happy when someone died, but it fit in the story, and I was okay with who it was. The author wrote words that easily flowed together and it was a very fast read for me. The ending surprised me a little, and I can not wait to read the other books in this series! I found myself cheering for Zoe, and I started to second guess all the other characters. As her memory came back, her past was clear as well as the present.
I am giving this book a 4/5 because even though I liked it a lot it is not my favorite genre. 
I was given a copy to review by Orangeberry book tours, however all opinions are my own!
