Representaion In Favor Of Books Whatever Gods May Be (Jamie Gwynmorgan #1)
Jamie Gwynmorgan doesn't believe in prayer. She doesn't believe in anything much. Except that people can't be trusted -- certainly not anyone she's ever met.
But Jamie knows some things. From experience. She knows if she died, nobody would give a damn. Nobody would even notice. She knows the better she can fight, the safer she'll be.
That's why she can't resist the sleek, dark lethality of the weapon -- and the recruiter's promise that yes, if she's strong enough, good enough, she'll get to fire that weapon in combat.
She doesn't care about the uniform. And screw the pretend-camaraderie. Only Safe matters -- and if she can do combat, then maybe she can fight her way to Safe.
Jamie expects a grueling fight that she might lose. What she never expects is to win love.

Born and raised near Chicago, Illinois, Sophia Kell Hagin moved to Boston to pursue a Ph.D. in philosophy but dropped out and worked yuck jobs until she landed a position as an information technology industry analyst. A dozen years later, she dropped out again to earn her living as a freelance IT industry analyst, writer, and editor.Her first novel, Whatever Gods May Be (2010), won several awards,I don't think I should have liked this as much as I did, but I did. It was a war thing and the writing was loose and strategic at the same time. And the ending was a bit confusing. Worthwhile and I gave it a rare 4 stars.
I will admit that I judged this book by its cover. Ive scrolled on by it numerous times over the last couple of years and my reaction was always, hmmm no. On occasion as I was scrolling by I may have read the book summary but I still wasnt really interested. Granted, this is all subjective I couldnt tell you what about the cover didnt grab me, I just know that if I am in a store or online sometimes the cover itself grabs my attention and makes me pick up a book. Although, I think its the
The sacrifices of our military will never be fully realized, but stories such as this remind us of the sacrifices made for the sake of our freedom. This gripping novel was written with such emotion, I found myself sympathizing with the plight of the main character. While the beginning was a bit technical and slow, it is well worth the effort to keep going. A glossary of acronyms would have been very helpful for reference throughout. I have great hopes for a sequel!! Many thanks, Sophia, for a
The first sentence was all I needed to be drawn into the story and intrigued by the main character Jamie Gwynmorgan. Jamie becomes such a vivid character you cannot help but root for her. Surrounded by ghosts of her past and running head first into her life we feel her angst yet are not pulled down by it.The story is action packed and it is hard to put the book down. I found myself consumed by the details packed into the story line. In a good way! The writing is powerful yet nuanced. You see
I've read this book at least twice over the last couple of years and it never gets old. Of course the last time I read it, was as a fresh reminder before starting the sequel, which is equally amazing by the way.This novel has so much action and excitement packed at every turn that I was hoping for better luck and easier time for the main character. I was also inspired by her perseverance and success despite not having an easy time.The story also perfectly illustrated how Jamie grew from the girl
I didn't expect this kind of book when I first picked it out. I thought it would be centered on a romantic relationship, but it was such a small part of the book! So much happens in this book that it's hard to keep up. It's a very different genre than I'm used to, but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. There was a lot of action to keep me reading since the beginning. It gave me a really good insight of the army life which I knew nothing about. I have a different perspective now. Also, I have to
