Book Spotlight: Untold Deception by William Staikos

SYNOPSIS:

Publisher Description

People are like coal the pressure of pain, isolation, and death can crush them into dust or can form them into diamonds. This is the pressure that sixteen-year-old Salan must face. Salan is a mixed-race child, half-cat and half-human, and as such his society regards him as a dangerous Abomination. But it’s the execution of his own mother in the town square that sets Salan off to find the truth of his origins.

Salan barely escapes the chaos of his society falling into racially fueled revolutionary violence. While hiding from the law, Salan contemplates suicide due to the death of his mother, and struggles to move on. Later, Salan is conscripted into a militia and falls in love with another Abomination. As it turns out, rather than being the lowest of the low, Salan is worth more to his country than he knows…

MY REVIEW:

Untold Deception by William Staikos
Story starts out with a court trial and he has no say in the matter. He's found guilty and he confessed
and while the whip with spikes strikes him he learns his mother will be hung right next to him. She has some positive words for him and that it's not his fault.
Story goes back in time so we can find out more about the different species and their abilities.
He's a mixed breed and used to sitting in the back of the bus, classroom etc. He trains with the military and he's advanced so much in so little time.
He is pursued by the guards and he hides out in a city but is kidnapped after being drugged. They use him as an experiment and he is taken to a location where there are others going through experiments also.
Lots of workouts and the names of people are confusing. It's like a contest to see who can do the best at the tasks they are given.
They learn of how they can escape with help of the doctor but they will only have a small timeframe to do so....
Like learning about the robotics and aura that he can create and especially the healing powers and how it's done.
He has nightmares where his mother is asking why did you kill us and then they turn into creatures attacking him...
Like quotes at the start of a new chapter, most fitting!
Like how this all comes together at the end.
