Forced in Between

by Alexandra Ispas, Nicola Peake (Editor)

Jennifer is the only girl in the Warband Academy. All she knows is that she cannot fall behind her training if she hopes to end the war. How or why she is there in the first place mattered less, until the day she was saved by the very creature she swore to fight against. Her world turns upside down as she finds out all the things she was never told, all the lies she had always believed. And yet, so much more remains untold. The truths and lies in Jennifer's reality will change her decisions, and so, might even change the fate of humanity. At least, that's what she must believe if she wants to survive in a world where she is one, and aliens are many.

I have a hard time to decide how to write my review for this book. The story began with a setback for me. I was so upset with the fact about Jenifer so I expected some explanation, but I didn't get that until the end. But I don't want to add more than what is written in the blurb so I won't spoil the story. I think you would guess what I try to say if you read it.
When I read the blurb I liked the idea she was the only girl in the Warband Academy, that sounds interesting so I wanted to read the story. At first, I thought I could like her but with the story going on that was not the case. Well, I can say she was a teenage girl and trying to be strong with having no one to count on.
The way story told, go on with girl or boy do this and that was disturbing. But even though I was put off with the way things go on, I was curious about what will happen in the end.
Unfortunately, I couldn't like the story and the main character but if you think the story sounds interesting for you, read it and decide for yourself. But like me if you think something hard to believe, don't devel on much you wouldn't have the answer until the end. I liked the concept and I feel like I could like more it, but the way the story told and the things the writer didn't share till the end was disturbing for me.
Thanks to #NetGalley and the BooksGoSocial providing me a copy of the book in exchange for an unbiased review.

Interesting, I hated the way these men and boys treated the lone female in their midst. It’s distasteful, mean, shameful and of poor quality. In my opinion, she should have been outfitted with some sort of power to aid her against these bullies, because in myeyes that’s what they were. The storyline wasn’t well focused, you know, a bit aimless although the characters were okay. It was more of a sci-fi drama with a mild excitement level and no action.

I received a free copy via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This story could have been so much better.

The world building was poor and the story was disjointed.

The story took a huge jump after the first chapter, leaving you in Limbo about how she came to be the only girl in a war training camp.

Disappointing.
