The Diabolic eBook S J Kincaid

A Diabolic is a genetically engineered assassin, bonded to only one person; to protect that person, the Diabolic will kill or be killed. Nemesis is a Diabolic, bonded to Sidonia, the daughter of a heretical senator. Sidonia is summoned to the Emperor's court as a hostage. Nemesis, masquerading as Sidonia, goes in her place. She becomes the center of court intrigue and involved in an adventure that will test who and what she is.

The Diabolic takes place in a future where the human race has expanded into an unnamed solar system. Here, the elite rule the majority and all "learning" is banned. A dystopia needs to make sense if it's to be believed, and the banning of education in general, and science in particular, just doesn't seem viable in a culture where genetic modification is the norm. The fact that their many technological machines need to be repaired is addressed by saying that some machines have been programmed in the past to service other machines, and that eventually they will all break down. With this accepted, it is odd that the people ignore the fact that without the various technologies, their culture, if not their entire race, will be unable to stand. This sort of self-imposed ignorance and blindness is beyond comprehension. As the foundation for the entire story rests on the dystopia being credible, the entire novel is weak from the start.

The story is from the first-person point of view of Nemesis. It is told in a very static and stilted way, which I suppose is intended to show that Nemesis is non-human. However, this makes the story drag and feel forced. I also felt that the characters weren't fleshed out enough; I never felt invested in any of them

Despite having to make myself finish it, I didn't hate this book. I'm giving it a generous three stars, because it had an interesting plot, which could have been extremely good if the world had been more credible and the characters more alive.

The Diabolic eBook S J Kincaid Reviews

The Diabolic weaves a dark tale of love, betrayal, and space-age​ drama to keeps you guessing with every turn of the page! I picked up a chapter sampler from the Barnes & Nobel Teen Fest in June and loved it! I don't think the description of “Red Queen meets The Hunger Games” gives this book justice because The Diabolic was neither of those stories. There may have been small similarities, but nothing that would make me jump to the conclusion the novel was derived from these popular series. If you were worried that The Diabolic was going to be “just another dystopian” it not in the slightest! This YA science fiction hooked me from the very beginning.

I can’t believe this novel is a stand alone! This galactic court S. J. Kincaid has created is a whole world just waiting to be unearthed. The elites live on decaying starships, while the remaining humans live on planets scattered throughout space. I really enjoyed reading about Nemesis as she struggled to keep her abilities hidden while forging new relationships. She is a humanoid and was created to serve a purpose. While doing what she thinks is best for Sidonia’s survival, Nemesis learns that there is more to her life than she could have imagined.

Romance is a prevalent theme as the story progresses. Nemesis meets Tyrus, the deranged nephew of the current Emperor. As Nemesis spends time with him, she begins to have feelings and emotions that she can’t understand. She wasn’t created to have the capacity to love others. I thought S. J. Kincaid did a wonderful job writing the romance. As the reader, you understand the struggle Nemesis is going through. It is because of who she is, we get more reserved yet passionate moments between her and Tyrus. I also liked that we didn’t quite get the full image of who Tyrus really was. He was unpredictable in so many ways. He could be kind and merciful one moment or cunning the next. In my humble opinion, their personalities made Nemesis and Tyrus an amazing couple.

The action, suspense, and serious Twists made The Diabolic one of my favorite books this year! Could it be turned into a series? Absolutely! However, I was beyond happy with the ending. I could read this over and over again with that ending! I totally had some major feels! Maybe a novella of Tyrus and Nemesis in the future?! I wouldn’t mind that! I highly recommend The Diabolic for a thrilling science fiction romance that won't disappoint!
