IA: Initiate
BOOK 1
-- Amazon Customer
Don’t start reading this consuming novel unless you have time to settle in and enjoy an intriguing tale. This story is well paced and pulls you in from its opening. And, most importantly, the dialogue is really great. The story uses language that is real and smart, and not at all condescending for adult or younger readers.
IA: B.O.S.S.
BOOK 2
-- Goodreads Reader
The second of the IA series blew my mind, I’m still thinking about it a week after reading it. My impatient wait for the sequel to IA: Initiate paid off and then some... B.O.S.S. is one of those reads that I couldn't put down. I became thoroughly engrossed in the storyline from page one, and as revelations came to light, I was increasingly drawn in and held within the pages.
INVINCIBLE ASSASSIN
BOOK 2.5
-- Kobo Reader
Although this book was a quick read, Winston’s words won’t let you take them fast. You’ll find yourself rereading, lingering, and pondering as his prose seeps through to your thoughts, attentively preparing you for Naz’s next journey. You won’t want to put this book down. Even after you’ve finished, you’ll find yourself returning to it again. I highly recommend!
IA: Union
BOOK 3
-- Readers' Favorite Reviewer
You become part of Naz's world, fall in love with some characters, fall out of love with them, maybe even hate them for a while. It's a story that makes you feel involved, you care about what is happening, and that is something that makes it easy to read these novels in just a few sittings.
IA: The Origin Novels
THE COMPILATION
-- Book Blogger
Like a carefully constructed onion, each book has removed layer after layer, revealing conspiracies and conflicting motives of those around Naz. Each book goes from strength to strength (as does Naz). There really aren't many 'young adult' books that engage and involve as well as the IA series. It is something very special indeed.
