Review – Uncharted (Countermeasure: Bytes of Life #1) by Chris Almeida & Cecilia Aubrey

If you haven’t started this amazing series, you are really missing out. The mystery and suspense is written beautifully. The characters are easy to connect to and fall in love with and the balance between it all is superb. ~ Rhayne, Guilty Pleasures

Uncharted is part of the Countermeasure: Bytes of Life series. This is a prequel to Countermeasure, which is book one. We have followed Trevor on a journey through several books as he searches for answers to what exactly happened to his parents. With the addition of Uncharted we get a glimpse into their actual lives as they prepare to leave and give up the life they once knew.

It’s really an emotional short tale of a mother torn between what she has to do and what she wants to do. It’s about a father who has no alternatives and is determined to keep his family safe. Even if that decision means saying goodbye forever, it is what has to happen.

We are not given a lot of answers, there are still many questions surrounding this whole story line. It seems that each book just continues to add more intriguing questions. It’s like one big puzzle and with every new chapter lays a missing piece. They truly know how to hook you in and keep you invested in these books.

If you haven’t started this amazing series, you are really missing out. The mystery and suspense is written beautifully. The characters are easy to connect to and fall in love with and the balance between it all is superb.

Note: Uncharted is currently a free read on Amazon.
