Review: Dash (The Cyborg Chronicles, #1). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dash by Kelsey Nicole Price

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When the Global Allegiance terminated all Cyborgs, rumors were rampant that they still existed, either hidden away with wealthy collectors or—even more scandalous—part of the Cyborg Rebellion.

Iris

I collect stuff. Some call me a hoarder. I prefer the term treasure hunter. In my wildest dreams I never thought I’d find a cyborg but maybe my dreams should have been wilder because that’s exactly what I find.
Big, blue and now mine, I take him home promising him that he is now free.
I can’t help the fact he is sexy as hell…and that blue is my favorite color.

478 Dash 942

I have been kept locked in a box, hidden away and forgotten.
Then I am pulled from my box by a strange human female who calls herself Iris.
Iris gives me a name and promises that I am no longer just a possession.
That my job is no longer only to serve.
The thought is terrifying but for the first time I feel hope.
Maybe this human is truly different.
One thing I know for sure is that Iris is fascinating and…tempting.
Dash

Cyborg rainbow!

The Hero: Dash (a.k.a. 478-942) – he was a service cyborg. Bought and sold to many different masters during his time. He was often used and abused by his owners. Cyborgs were hard to damage, but some of his owners tried every way of hurting him until they were able to find ways that even left scars on his nearly indestructible skin. When the makers of cyborgs discovered that their creations had that spark of life (a soul) that made them sentient beings, the Global Allegiance recalled all of them and had them destroyed, it became illegal to own a cyborg and 478-942 was put in a box and in a warehouse that was later abandoned.

The heroine: Iris – she loves the past and everything about it. She started collecting junk from the past when she was young and now she does it for a living. She scours abandoned homes and buildings and sells some of her finds online. Some she keeps for herself. Her mother hates her job, but Iris doesn’t care, she makes enough money to eat and pay rent and lives the life she likes.

The story: One day when Iris is scavenging an abandoned warehouse, she finds a large box and manages to open it, finding a cyborg. She calls him Dash and tells him she is not his owner, that he is free to make his own decisions and she takes him home with her. He is a big, handsome blue man, and she is attracted to him from the start, but makes sure he knows that his choices are his.

Things start to get really interesting when they meet two new cyborgs from the cyborg rebellion. I liked this book, it was different than any cyborg book I have read before, most of which take place in space. Though the themes were somewhat the same as many other cyborg book (cyborgs being destroyed and made illegal), the fact that it takes place on earth is quite different and I liked the dystopian feel.

There were a bunch of supporting characters in this book and I liked them all and found myself wanting to know more about each of them. Each type of cyborg has a different skin color, like the technology ones are purple, the military are grey, the science model is green and more. I will most likely pick up more of this series. I just wish they were available in audiobook format. Though as much as I like audiobooks, lately I have felt the need to do more actual reading, so I will get them.
