Book Review #37 : The Cassidy Chronicles by Adam Gaffen

Author : Adam Gaffen
Genre : Sci-fi / LGBT
Ratings : ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

This story is set in not-so-distant future. The United States has been broken up through various events and the main protagonists of the story Cassidy and Kendra navigate their way through the various nation-states that have come to replace it. 

During her wedding Aiyana Cassidy called as Cass by her friends was attacked by the pastor . She is on the run with her boyfriend Derek and her best friend. Leaving her boyfriend behind, Cass and Kendra (Ken) go on a quest to stay alive. 

Both Cass and Ken are brilliant and intelligent ladies with Ken having secrets of her own. The story revolves around these two characters as they run for their life from place to place trying to find out the mystery of the person who is tying to kill Cass and why. 

Will they find out who is behind all this? 
Will their friendship survive through this journey? 

This is a 3 part series and it has everything that a reader wants from a sci-fi book. It has mystery, suspense, thrill, action, comedy, romance, friendship,betrayal and of course new technology and innovations. The twists and turns and the action sequences are narrated really well. 

The character of Kendra is brilliantly developed as a strong and energetic lady. The Charactesrs and the plot are very well developed and I really enjoyed how the story went ahead. This book is fast paced which I liked the most and the story keeps you hooked till the end. 


I really enjoyed reading this book and I recommend it to all sci-fi fans out there.
