This review's taken some time to make, though for good reason. Needed the time to just sit down and read through volume one. Not just where I left off on last but as in re-read the whole of volume one. Can whole heartedly say this has shaped up to be a very intriguing story beyond just the smut. While I do greatly enjoy the leader aspects, as I'm sure many do (Deita for the win, best gal) I am more an enjoyer of plotlines when it comes down to lengthy stories. 

The characters are fleshed out, none more so than those who align themselves with the trafficking of humans. Jinshin has her angles, her views and beliefs, Deita can do no wrong and is the beat damn character here, and Jacob is STILL a P.O.S XD. Every character written is believable in a way, they don't feel like cardboard copies or stand-ins, which i greatly value in a story. 

Can say, the true personalities of some characters really did catch me off guard. For an example, using best Gal here, Deita seemed very business-like and professional at the start, only for it to be shown later on that she can be childlike while her "sister" is more the level headed one. Revelations of personality like those are what I tend to enjoy. 

All in all I have thoroughly enjoyed reading through volume 1 and look forward to what you have in store for volume 2. 

Especially now that we have ourselves some new players on the board, heheheh

Well, here it is, the final chapter for volume one. I will keep this as vague as possible as to not spoil the suspense you intended for this chapter.

I couldn’t stop laughing as I was like what the world is going on with the “Pop” every so often. I was trying to figure it out and then the other individual’s comment had me rolling.

Annie is an interesting character I was not expecting. Now we have an interesting dilemma for the criminal enterprise as there is someone very intriguing playing for the good guys.

Annie is a cruel and vicious person with a childish like personality somewhat of an alter ego to Deita.

There are most definitely tantalizing details left for the next volume. Who is Annie and how is she related to Jacob? Siblings or possibly test subjects in the same lab as they were growing up. What are their history together and what happened to Jacob that didn’t happen to Annie? Why did Jacob make a turn to the dark side while Annie is now working for the feds? Many more question causing more anticipation for the next volume and chapters to come.

I’m still anticipating the follow-up with Deita, Liz, Jinshin, Ben Jacob and Blaire not to leave out Camilla and any new characters lurking in the background just clamoring to step forward.  

This most certainly takes everything to a new level and a great ending to volume one.
