The Regime is on the hunt, forcing the Resistance to take refuge aboard the Lifemaker, an advanced submarine that houses a special cargo: a handful of women who can still give birth to human children.

As they descend into the deeps, they quickly learn that not all monsters work for the Regime.

Title: Hopebreaker
Series: The Great Iron War, Book One
Publication Date: December 15, 2014
Genre: Steampunk
Synopsis
In the world of Altadas, there are no more human births. The Regime is replacing the unborn with demons, while the Resistance is trying to destroy a drug called Hope that the demons need to survive.
Between these two warring factions lies Jacob, a man who profits from smuggling contraceptive amulets into the city of Blackout. He cares little about the Great Iron War, but a chance capture, and an even more accidental rescue, embroils him in a plot to starve the Regime from power.
When Hope is an enemy, Jacob finds it harder than he thought to remain indifferent. When the Resistance opts to field its experimental landship, the Hopebreaker, the world may find that one victory does not win a war.

My Review
* I got a copy of this book for my honest review*
I enjoyed reading the first book in this series Hopebreaker, but I really had a tough time putting this one down. I enjoyed every minute of this book. It snagged me from the beginning.
This book started strong with the cast from Hopebreaker aboard Lifemaker. The tension is palpable from the beginning. Jacob is still his charismatic and sarcastic, trouble finding self but there was something more to him this time. He pretty much took a recovering Whistler under his wing and kept encouraging the kid whenever he got discouraged or started questioning his mother’s love. Taberah , man, she was still single minded and rather ruthless type of woman but I found myself not liking her as much as I did the last one. Her disregard for Whistler just seems so heartless at times but when you get the twist at the end you can see why she might treat Whistler the way she does even if he doesn’t deserve it. And poor Whistler having to find out that secret by eavesdropping. Talk about a twist. Taberah and Rommond are still working together even though the have many differences. I like that we get more of their history and what happened to cause the animosity between them. Also. The story behind Brooklyn was saddening and put Rommond in a different light for me.
We get introduced to more characters like the Copper Vixens and their Matron who have a bone to pick with Taberah. And a not so happy pregnant human.
The Resistance is headed for the deeps with women who are going to give birth to humans not demons and some other special cargo. It also seems someone is trying to wreak havoc on the sub by sabotaging things. Distrust, secrets, sneaking around, humor, mystery,monster fish and plenty of action in a claustrophobia inducing setting of a submarine. kept this book going from the start and made it a book that I could easily get lost in. The author did a wonderful job describing everything from the weapons and the sub to the ocean life.
Fun, action, mystery, humor, twists, steampunk adventure. When I got to the end I was sad it was over. I’m looking forward to picking up the next in the series when it comes out!
