Nearly 30 years ago, the PEACE Project rose from the ruins of a global war to take power over a new America. Providing stability in exchange for absolute authority, the Project controls every aspect of citizens' lives through each of its five units:
Protect
Enforce
Advance
Control
Eliminate
Raised in the Project since infancy, eighteen-year-old Zira has been trained as an assassin under the stern guidance of unit E-2's Chairman Ryku. After she makes a careless mistake on an assignment, the chairman partners her with Jared, the best operative in her unit. Their partnership transforms into friendship as they work together and learn to rely on each other. But when misinformation causes a solo mission to backfire, Zira's deepest loyalties and strongest relationships are tested in a place where even a hint of doubt can be perceived as treason.
The life she knows is falling apart, and nothing will ever look the same again.

My Rating ~ 3 bites and a nibble
After a global war the PEACE Project was formed. Protect, Enforce, Advance, Control, and Eliminate are the rules to live by. Zira has been raised in the E-2 program and after she makes a rookie mistake the Chairman pairs her with Jared, a skilled operative who usually works alone. They get off to a rocky start, but things smooth out. Until Zira has a solo mission go tits up. Then her world falls apart.
This starts off a bit slow and it took me a little while to get all the specifics, but once I sorted everything out the world came into focus. Zira and Jared hit it off kind of fast for my liking, but it’s a stressful situation, so maybe it’s possible. The fact that they are in a relationship plays a big part at the end of the book though. The characters aren’t as fleshed out as I’d prefer, but maybe they grow over time. The plot is a common dystopian trope, but it’s executed decently. I’m curious to see how it plays out over the series.
