*A complimentary e-copy of this book was given to me by the author in exchange for my honest review.*Woodsmen is a story of liberation, equality, freedom, genetic mutations, and romance. We get a realistic view of how the world could be in the future. Our main character, Jared Ryder, finds out that he is a chimera, genetically altered to be half human, half animal. He is the hope of the rebellion in Sector 8 of New America. His love interest is none other than the daughter of the Governor of Sector 8, Ellie Callum. She's fierce, out-spoken, and yet she's vulnerable. She's betrothed to an arrogant jerk of a man, Edmund,(who is to take over office once her father retires) but falls head over heels for Jared. Jared feels he wouldn't be able to be with her because of what he is & Ellie the same because of her social status. However, in the end they are both working together for the same goal: Freedom & equality for the oppressed people her father governs. I do hope there is another book. There were some things left unfinished and would hope what they started would give hope to others in the rest of the sectors. Overall, a fantastic read. Full of suspense, action, & romance. The writing just flows from one page to the next as I was just wanting to know how it would end. I really do hope to read more about Jared & Ellie's plight for freedom.
