Review: The Girls From Alcyone by Cary Caffrey

The Girls From Alcyone by Cary Caffrey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was gifted an audible code from the author, all opinions are my own.  

It has been over 10 years since I originally read this via ebook.  I own the entire series and have been meaning to get back to it.  I jumped on the chance to listen to the audiobook.  The audio narration is fantastic, Kristen James does different accents for all of the characters.  I enjoyed the book even more via audio the 2nd time.  I also love the new covers!

This follows Sigrid and Suko from a young age as they train to become bio-enhanced mercenaries in a dystopian world.  The girls start out as best friends, and eventually their relationship turns into something more.  As expected Sigrid and Suko must go on assignment as they have been training for, and Sigrid is the first to be sent away.  When that happens, Sigrid finds herself at the center of a power struggle she could never imagine and has to figure out who she can trust.  Suko on the other hand has remained at the school where she was raised and is training the next generation when they are attacked and kidnapped.  She isn't sure if she will ever see Sigrid again or escape her captors.

This is a fun, exciting scifi storyline with a sapphic romance element.  I'm looking forward to diving into the rest of the series.
