Forged Under Fire

The Coalition, Book 1

By: Kyra Anderson

Narrated by: Kyra Anderson

She was born the day America declared the Second Revolutionary War over, but for Amelia Grant, the war was far from over. At 18 years of age, she decides to answer her call to Mandatory Civil Service with her best friend Bethany. But rather than be thrilled to be working with Bethany every day, Amelia is terrified that her secret crush for her best friend will be discovered - after all, in post-revolution America, such a relationship is grounds for arrest.

A chance meeting changes Amelia’s life when she comes into contact with the newest American domestic terrorist group, the Coalition. Startled to learn that her sister is already a member, and eager to meet others like her who are considered “undesirable” by the Central Government, she seeks out the group. Enraptured by the charismatic leader, Amelia finds herself pulled easily toward the Coalition.

However, her involvement puts a larger target on her back, and she soon finds herself at the center of scandals and nefarious dealings. Amelia must decide if she wants to live a lie, or fight to dismantle the corruption in the new government.

excellent

Not really the subject matter that I normally interested in. But...that has now changed. loved it.

Great story!

I really enjoyed this book, looking forward to the next edition! I found the world Kyra created to be compelling - very different then what I would imagine America to be after a second revolution. I also really enjoyed the character development.

However.....

I love listening to Kyra Anderson's worlds. especially "The Significant" However, this book had me mesmerized on how often the words However and Therefore were used. Therefore I'm writing this review. however I am still anxious to listen to book two. maybe it's just me, however I still want to count the usage of the two words therefore we would know how often they are used . still a 5 star book.
