Stained Egos by Helen Scott, Serena Akeroyd

4.0

I liked this book, I'm starting on the next one to see where it goes.

So, in this world,the police is made up of Brotherhoods, 5 dudes put together to be stronger. And once they reached a certain level of experience, I guess, they are allower to get a Sixth whom will bound their power in a circuit to make them stronger. Marcella is currently training to be a Sixth when the Maximus brotherhoods comes into the academy to get a Sixth.

Okay, so there are a lot of things that didn't really make sense. First of all, the brotherhood is falsely told they'll be able to chose their Sixth, and they know it's false. But the point of their long visit to the academy is to watch the girls fight and witness the tournament. So at the end, there is a winner. And that winner becomes the Sixth. And they know that. But they're told they're going to choose? I don't get it.

I could tell the brotherhood appart pretty quickly, which is good. But the characters feel very shallow for now. There are 4 other books so I'm giving the series more of a chance but I wasn't impressed by the world or the character building.

I was also disappoint that Cade got all of Marcella's firsts. He got the first kiss, first blood, first time and I fell like it makes the relationship she has with all he guys very imbalanced.

Yeh, I'm reading the second one hoping it sorts itself through
