Red Queen meets The Hunger Games in this epic novel about what happens when the galaxy's most deadly weapon masquerades as a senator's daughter and a hostage of the galactic court.
A Diabolic is ruthless. A Diabolic is powerful. A Diabolic has a single task: Kill in order to protect the person you've been created for.
Nemesis is a Diabolic, a humanoid teenager created to protect a galactic senator's daughter, Sidonia. The two have grown up side by side, but are in no way sisters. Nemesis is expected to give her life for Sidonia, and she would do so gladly. She would also take as many lives as necessary to keep Sidonia safe.
When the power-mad Emperor learns Sidonia's father is participating in a rebellion, he summons Sidonia to the Galactic court. She is to serve as a hostage. Now, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia. She must become her. Nemesis travels to the court disguised as Sidonia—a killing machine masquerading in a world of corrupt politicians and two-faced senators' children. It's a nest of vipers with threats on every side, but Nemesis must keep her true abilities a secret or risk everything.
As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns there is something more to her than just deadly force. She finds a humanity truer than what she encounters from most humans. Amidst all the danger, action, and intrigue, her humanity just might be the thing that saves her life—and the empire.
My first review of The Diabolic
My Review:
I love this book so much! I love S.J. Kincaid's writing, and this is the start of her 2nd series, and I love it so much, and I was so happy to reread it! The 3rd and final book is coming out this year, and I had to reread in preparation, and I'm so glad that I did, because it's such a great read!
I remembered that Sidonia wasn't there when the Emperor wiped out her family, but I also remembered that she did die. So I knew that the pain she would be feeling, not matter that it original wasn't true, would actually happen, and that just sucks, she seems like a great person!

The politics of this world are pretty infuriating, that these families have access to all this technology, and the few are ruling over this planets of populations. But Tyrus does have ideals for a better Empire, and knowing what's going to happen, that hurts!
I love these characters, Nemesis is so straightforward, and blunt and I love it! Tyrus, well, he's a beloved mad-man who is just so clever and again, The Empress does its toll on him, but it hasn't happened yet. But I'm dying to see what's going to happen to them in book 3!
Loved reading this book, and I'm a little scared of rereading The Empress because I know it's going to hit me in the feels!
