One bloody civil war. One corrupt, tyrannical regime. One girl destined for retribution.

With Protocol 00 finally having been shut down, the free will of the country was received at the price of the memories of Natalie.

After being found trespassing in Area 51 she is taken as prisoner where her mind is wiped and life meets its impending doom.

However, just before she is about to be executed she is broken out of Area 51 by the White Knights, where she is thrust into a war-torn land with the expectation that she will lead the overthrow of President Ash’s regime once and for all.

Surrounded by lies and manipulation, Natalie quickly realizes that no one seems to care or have answers about her past.

Her only mission is to lead the rebellion in a bloody civil war and to destroy President Ash once and for all. But her life may end up being destroyed first.

Note: This special edition of Delusional contains Shattered Pasts, the second novella in the Memories From The Darkness collection. Each book in this series comes with exclusive companion novellas meant to be read after each novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm not delusional, this book is really good!
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2020
I abandoned the idea of writing this review by retelling what happened to Natalie and Ethan after escaping death from the hands of merciless President Ash in the bowels of Area 51 because the ending of Delusional, book 2 in Control Freakz Series, surprised me so much that I still try to process what on earth happened and why the author did it!

I want to hang on to this feeling, without spoiling much the reading to those of you who will grab this futuristic, dystopian, action-packed thriller, eager to see what has Natalie gone through before completing a full circle from escaping to returning to the hateful Area 51 facility where she left behind not only the ones she loved most, but also the vital part of herself—her memories.

After posting this review, I’m moving on to the last book in the Control Freakz Series box set, where I also read this book. The suspense and adrenaline in me are still high and waiting won’t help. Thirteen months after reading the first book in the series, Michael Evans hooked me again with this story and I am determined to plunge without delay into another set of action scenes, mind and political games and fights for the world domination, manipulations, dark thoughts and personal crisis, not delusional but aware that I should expect the unexpected.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well-paced but the setting and tone are heavy
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2018
I received a free copy of this book and opted to post a review.

My chief criticism of the first book was that the forward momentum of the plot suffered. In this installment of the "Control Freakz" series, Evans keeps the plot moving forward at a decent pace. I was able to follow along with what was going on in the plot and Natalie's character was developed a bit more, or is it?

Natalie's memories are missing. In theory, this means that we get to see more of who she is at her core; however, she does remember what happened after her memories were wiped and most of those memories are traumatic. So, while we get to know Natalie as a person who is struggling to cope with the effects of PTSD, we don't know her as a whole because the plot focuses heavily on Natalie's inner dialogue during her downward spiral. I know it's important for us to understand what Natalie was going through; however, I think after the first couple of times of being shown in great detail what she was going through internally, the author could have just given cues to let us know when she was triggered or experiencing a flashback. Doing this would have avoided repetition, improved readability, and allowed the author to focus more on developing Natalie's core personality.

Even though this book has been categorized as "young adult," I don't think it's appropriate for readers younger than 15- or 16-years old due to profanity and generalized references to sex. New adult and adult readers will appreciate the parallels to current events that add realism to the plot's dystopian premise and setting, and the nuances of an expansive vocabulary.

If you're into heavy, thought-provoking reads in which the protagonist is in a downward spiral, I think you'll appreciate this book. If you're in the mood for something light-hearted or a book that starts out with a downward spiral that improves over time, you might want to steer clear.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intense!
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2019
Delusional was intense, thought provoking, and driven. Full of action, self discovery, and horror, this one was an adrenaline ride. It was fast paced, emotional, and surprising!

It was a continuation of an intense fight for survival amidst a terrifying war and rebellion. It was a story about self doubt, guilt, depression, and love. It was unpredictable and compelling.

I definitely enjoyed this one better than book 1. I felt like I was right in the middle of things with Natalie, and it was terrifying. I enjoyed getting to know her character better, and found it intriguing that she went on a second journey of self discovery that allowed for reminiscing from the first book as a refresher.

The writing seemed to improve a little from Control Freakz. I was still impressed that this young author managed to capture my attention, and kept me glued to the book long enough to finish it in one sitting! There was still room for improvement as far as tenses went and not trying to be so descriptive at times, but the heart of the story was there, and the excitement and story twists kept me reading until the heart wrenching cliff hanger!

I enjoyed how intense and refreshing this one was. It reminded me a little of The Hunger Games and Divergent, but it also felt unique and exciting. I felt like the story continued at a nice pace, and I was left craving the next book!

Thank you to the author for providing me with this free e-book in exchange for my honest review.

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2019
I picked this up as the first one had intrigued me and I wanted to see where the author went with the story. I felt like I was pulled in, yet there were times when there seemed to be too much of the same thing. Natalie has lost her memories and is in a race against time to either get them back or learn to move on without them. Yet everyone around her wants something from her, whether that's what she wants or not. She's left without a choice and while she fights against the system, she finds hope in that one day she will truly be whole again. I enjoyed the read and didn't see the ending coming. I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series!
