Review: The Sentinel (Sentinel Series Book 1) by C Cato

The Sentinel by C. Cato
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Imaginative World Building

I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

Dr Sonya Temple is a highly intelligent woman. She’s at the forefront of nanotechnology and she and her partner Ian have been working on a way to use nanobots to cure cancer. One day she’s meeting her mother for lunch and the next moment she wakes up in a strange place, with people she doesn’t know and alarms going off. She is terrified, angry and confused. The three men and woman she is with also seem confused but also to know more than she does.

Sonya and her companions went into stasis in 2025 and woke up 200 years later in a world transformed and alien to them. They have to find a way to survive in a hostile world without knowledge of the way society is structured or a way of getting by. Luckily Sonya’s companions were all ex-military and have survival training.

This strange and complex book is beautiful and poignant. It tells of humanity losing it’s way and evil being done in the name of survival. Sonya is intelligent, compassionate and guarded. She doesn’t trust easily and her situation doesn’t make that any easier. She’s also drawn completely to Cole, the man in charge of her companions, and it seems he feels the same way.

Cole is strong, commanding, determined and tender-hearted. He’s an amazing character and the magnetism felt between him and Sonya is impressive. However, this is a slow burn Reverse Harem and this book is spent getting know each other as well as the society they have landed in.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next in the series.
